Holidays

I was looking at a guide to Oman this evening, and it said Muscat (the capital city) is the Eagle capital of the world! (Obviously they meant birds, but I can live in hope!)

Nancy, I am with you---please let the Eagles fall tour in the states pan out!



I just got back from spending 4 days out-of-town taking care of my mother after she had knee surgery. No computer there--talk about Eagles withdrawals. At least I had my I-Pod full of Eagles songs. She is doing better, but therapy is going to be tough on her. (She's 80.)



I am going to the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge area for three days the end of February for a travel writing assignment, though, so that should be fun. I may even see some snow!

Glad to hear your mother's doing better, although she has a long road ahead of her in therapy.

Dana, glad your mother is doing well. Was it replacement surgery? My Mom had both her knees replaced at the same time. It was hell for a while, but well worth it after the rehab!



BTW, being from the Northeast, I can't understand your fascination with seeing snow! <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/eyes.gif ALT=":rolleyes">

lol. I'm the same way as Dana. Being raised in Texas for 20 years, it still blows my mind when I see snow on the ground here in Indiana, even after 3 years! I'm just like "oh, so pretty!" Then I have to dig my car out. lol

Thanks for all the good wishes, guys. I will pass them on to my mom. She actually had surgery to repair her torn meniscus (sp?), the pad behind her kneecap, so thankfully it wasn't as drastic as knee replacement.

Dana, you should suggest your Mum plays a bit less football! Seriously, it's hard work with rehab but if she can cope she will do well, and hopefully be in a lot less pain. I wish her the best. My Mum had a hip replacement two years ago at 78, and still managed to get into the sea with her crutches six weeks later!

Dana, I'm sure having you there with her made the surgery ordeal much easier for your mom. Glad to hear she's doing well. I'm hoping they repaired her knee thru a scope, so that the recovery will be a lot quicker.



I'll bet your mom's a lot tougher than a whiney husband would be!



If I could figure out how, Dana, I'd love to mail you some of our snow. You could keep it, too. No need to send it back!


</p>

[DonFan]

You gotta love these feisty moms! In the sea on crutches? Wow.



And yes, Molly, I know she is tougher than a whiney husband. <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/wink.gif ALT=";)">



BTW, I'd take that snow in a New York Minute.

Dana - I also wish your mom well. She must be a pretty tough cookie for her age. I'm from the Mid-Atlantic so we usually get some snow, but not as much as Karen or Molly. However, it hasn't snowed here but once this whole winter. However, winter's not over yet. But, if we do get some, I'll also try to send it to you and soda. lol

I'm just a hired hand working on the dreams I plan to try. The days go by...</p>
