Thoughts and Prayers to my big sister.

Update Wednesday pm: Received the call from my BIL Mike, Sheri is in recovery. The surgery was without complication, although she did go into vfib twice during the surgery. Don't need more of a sign than that!

Original Posting, Wednesday am: My oldest sister, Sheri, will receive her defibrillator today. She went Friday for her EPS and her cardiologist was also amazed by her heart's quick reaction. She is the last of the three sisters to receive an ICD.
See this posting for more information on our condition and when my sister Suzanne had hers implanted in February. http://wmchsprueill.blogspot.com/2008/02/its-family-affair.html

Check back for updates on her recovery.

What is missing?

Another mowing down, how many weeks until winter? I must say, it does look nice and green! There are a few holes here and there. Wade and I really don't want to know what, if anything, is living in those holes.
Some more flowers are blooming around our yard.
Also, the front view of the house is different. Can you tell what is different?

Official Oregon Driver

I am now an official Oregon driver as of today. No, I didn't get in an accident...I passed my Oregon driver's test!
My AZ driver's license was my last residential connection to Arizona (besides our house in Eagar). Taking the test was a little scary. I couldn't imagine the need to read the manual after 20+ years of driving, but after I failed the sample test online it seemed like a good idea.
I would bet there are others like me who think it isn't necessary. Obviously, they plan the questions in a way to be sure you read the manual. For example, do you know the maximum travel speed of a low-speed vehicle (i.e. farm equipment)? 15, 20, 25, or 30 mph? I knew it because I read the manual but what if I hadn't...total guess!
Anyway, I did pass with a 28 out of 31, not bad...an A! I was so excited to pass I didn't think twice about handing over my AZ license, which I had since 1995 and didn't expire until 2033! Even more exciting my picture is better! I have on a nice smile and a turtleneck (or frogneck) so I look very Oregonian!

PS I also registered to vote just in time for the Oregon Primary...for the first time as an Independent!

(answer: 25 mph)
