January,February, And Now MARCH! (Gasp)

Hello, Everybody!

It seems like this year is just zipping right on by! In January, Ellen celebrated her birthday! Here is picture of her cake.

The birthday girl is about to cut the cake.

Below is a picture of the glass sculpture at the Spencer Theater in Ruidoso, New Mexico. It is truly beautiful.

We had a relaxing weekend while in Ruidoso. The main reason for the trip was to see Camelot at the Spencer Theater.

It was a great production. The touring company was staying at The Lodge At Sierra Blanca, which is where we always stay. So we were truly living in the Land of Camelot! By the way, when we checked into the hotel, the assistant manager checked us in. Upon entering the room, we couldn't help but remark that "it" had happened again. Yep, we were upgraded to a one bedroom suite! We had a beautiful view of Sierra Blanca covered in snow. We are not sure why, or how that happened, but we enjoyed it!

Yesterday was surgery day for Sharon. She, too, had a birthday already this year. Last year her birthday was a week after her shoulder replacement. Not wanting to spend another birthday just after going under the knife, it was scheduled for March 1st. The knuckle at the base of her right index finger was replaced. It is amazing what can be done these days! She was back home by 10:30! All went well.

When you look at her hand from this view, it looks like she has on a boxing glove! It will stay this way until Thursday. She goes to the doctor in the morning, and he will remove all the dressings.

It is a good thing that Sharon is ambidextrous! It is her right hand that was operated on, but she can do everything with her left hand as well.

So, 2010 has begun. We are now into March and are hoping that life remains relatively calm.
