School Daze . . .

David made it through his heart surgery just splendidly. He had a wonderful intensive care nurse the first night after his six hour surgery who made him get up early the next morning and sit up in a chair. We were all amazed when he was allowed to sit up and eat eggs the very next day. He was very alert soon after the surgery. We are so grateful to our friends and family who came to be with us during this difficult time. We could feel the prayers. Not everything was easy, but he has virtually recovered now.

Soon after the short recovery David traveled to Houston to attend an AP conference. I went to Galveston to stay with some friends and to drive him home. We had a great time at the beach house. Good food, good friends, good scenery, good times.

Today was my first day back to school for the year. I'm ready enough!

David has been back since August 5th. He is definitely ready.

Yesterday I dropped off Haley at college. She is a UTD Comet now. She is having fun, I'm sure. We got her room all fixed up and looking cute. She goes to Comet Camp soon, and then she will start class after much "orientating."

The Dallas Cowboys are playing tonight for the very first pre-season game of the year. The Texas Rangers have been winning, but are 5 games out behind LA. Speaking of LA, I got to "go to there!" Haley and I had a blast visiting my sister and Ellen and JR. We took the WB tour, went to the Craig Ferguson Late Late Show, ate at In and Out Burger, Bob's Big Boy, Porto's. and had Stacia's crepes! We also went to the happiest place on earth, Disneyland! It sure was fun! We made some wonderful memories and had such a good time. Oh, and we visited the Griffin Observatory and looked through the giant telescope.

There have been two meteor showers the last couple of nights, but I missed them. The first night it was too cloudy. The second night I was too sleepy.

I am in a daze getting ready for school to start. The summer literally flew by. I just cannot believe how fast the earth is spinning round and round these days.

I'm just shamrockin' on in my school daze!
