Day 4 - Operation recovery

Carolyn certainly doesn't feel as good as she did before the operation and she doesn't have the same energy she used to have. However, that doesn't stop her from having a good time and using Steve and Lisa's visit this weekend to buoy her spirit up even at the expense of her body. Fortunately, she has the coming week to take it a little easier and recover from the visiting as well as the operation.

We took Steve and Lisa to Black Chasm Cave, one of our favorite spots to take friends and family. While waiting for the next cave tour we watched the two of them "sluice" for semi-precious gems which had been cleverly hidden in a bag of sand. Several of our grandchildren had the same experience earlier in the year.

On the way back we stopped at the Davis Ranch in Sloughhouse where we picked up a couple dozen ears of freshly picked sweet corn. While I was debating how I was going to eat that much, Carolyn was arranging a picnic for Steve, Lisa, Ed, Tiffany, and the boys. Again, a bit strenuous for Carolyn but she'll do anything for a "Grandchild fix". Timothy has discovered jigsaw puzzles and he especially wanted to work on this one with Aunt Lisa since he knows how much she loves rabbits.
