Spring Break!

Yep, hence the reason for no posting of recent. We've been on spring break and loving every minute of it. By the grace of Carol, her mother and Tamara the girls were taken care of while I went to Texas for a much needed break from the action. I went down with two wonderful friends to meet two others (ranch owner and son). We hunted for Rio Grand Turkey's and Wild boar (ferrel hogs). I came home empty handed but with a head full of wonderful memories, and very VERY relaxed. Thanks ladies for giving me a break! Thanks Wayne and Brad for another terrific visit to the Stewart Ranch!
Since I came home Monday the girls and I have been playing, doing some honey do's and just plain goofing off. Carol went to Church for the first time in a long time, and took Mary shopping. Anna, her friend (and friend's father) and I caught a whole mess of fish. We cleaned them, and had them for supper last night with both families at the dinner table enjoying a wonderful feast.
Carol is now resting from her 3rd chemo treatment (the new chemicals where she gets 12 treatments total) she received today... still the same symptoms; mild fatigue, bone pain, dry eyes, and other smaller symptoms but she's persevering. She'll lay low this weekend and it looks like it's a good one to do that. Rain is on it's way big time and our tempurature is suppose to drop some 25 degrees!
I'm off to plant some grass seed so the rain can help it take hold... pick up the "doggy land-mines" and button down the yard for a cold blast.
Thanks Heather for supper tonight, and all the yummies... it's truely appreciated. Be well all, and PLEASE don't forget to keep praying for Carol and us. - Eric
