Multiple good news items after a couple of difficult years.

As many of you know, we lost Sasha at the end of January at a young age due to kidney failure. As luck and fate conspired together, we now have a great new Golden thanks to Love a Golden rescue from St. Louis, MO.

Meet Winnie (not sure if she was named after Winnebago, Winefred or Winnie the Poo). She's about the same age as Sasha and has fit in perfectly

The second bit of good news: After a 1 1/2 year hiatus from RVing, we're back in the motorhome.

We're back because of the third bit of good news, Sandy had a knee replacement Feb 14 and is able to walk and climb stairs - just about back to "normal." Her recovery has been amazing and the surgery option one of the best decisions we've made. Her knee was so bad that she was just about wheel chair bound (one of the reasons we weren't able to RV).

Her surgery was done by the Rush Orthopedic group (those of you around the Chicago area may be familiar with Rush Hospital).

Awesome! We all could use some good news right now!

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be Douglas Adams

Winnie is so beautiful and such a great addition to your loving family. Also congrats on Sandy's knee surgery! My neighbor has his done in March and is doing well! Yay for modern medicine!

I'm heading out Friday with Brendon. We are camping with my daughter's family in Virginia, then I am heading to Indiana for graduations!
