The new toy arrived

As you can see by the pictures I posted yesterday, my new external card reader arrived. The pictures of the golf course in Parker were on the SD card awaiting transfer and I couldn't resist posting them since it was spitting snow here yesterday and the temperatures never got above 25 degrees. For my buddies out West, today the forecast is rain, freezing rain, and then 1 to 3 inches of snow. So ya'll can feel really smug about your weather today!

A Mom update; Thursday she had an appointment with her new primary care physician who said her lungs sounded clear even though she coughs morning to evening. Yesterday she saw the ear/nose/throat doctor who found another capillary to cauterize but found nothing else to be concerned about in that area, although he discovered (not to be gross) a horrid amount of ear wax that was so hard he couldn't scrape it out. So the good news is that she's not going deaf in her left ear as we thought. She'll be putting baby oil in her ear for the next month prior to her next appointment so he can finish the removal of the wax at that time. So Mom is thrilled that she'll be able to hear out of that ear again. She seems to have a little more energy and is enjoying the hot meals I'm making, but then who wouldn't enjoy having meals cooked for them?

We did take Mom out for one geocaching attempt on the one warm day we had last week but it was a multiple cache and we got skunked so if we have another warmish day while we're still here we'll try again and post pictures as she was kind of getting into the whole thing. Phew! I do run on sometimes, don't I? There are several multi-caches shown around this area so we'll be sure to search for those when we come back here again next summer. Shivering in the cold while geocaching is not my favorite aerobic exercise.
