The main news item is Doug's back which has been operated on and the result is nothing less than a miracle. As each day goes by he is getting better and was walking the same day after a 90 minute key hole surgery to release a compressed nerve. We see the doctor again on Teusday for a follow up check.
Our house hunting has been active but the one house that we really liked seems to be fixed at a price that is too high. Hopefully the seller will see sense as time goes by. We are hoping to have more money to spend one day after Ginger passes on, and we are fine living where we are at the moment.
