Hall of fame for Dr Evans

Even though it doesn't mention his greatest accomplishment, Dr Keith Evans is going into the hall of fame. He delivered both Karissa and Kenson. I hope Karissa and Kenson click on this link so they can see first person who saw them when they were born. ; ) http://ubstandard.com/detail/3847.html
I believe a few of his minor accomplishments include the delivery of Jasmine and Katrina as well. According to the article he had to retire because he had muscle problems from lack of sleep. Karissa and Kenson were both born during the evening Karissa was around six o clock and I think Kenson was around 4. (not sure about kenson) Mark was also delivered by Dr Evans.

the Lippizanner stallions

For Mother's Day Julie took me to see the Lippizanner Stallions. I have always wanted to see them ever since I read about them in my horse book when I was a girl. We had a fun time as it turned out Dad couldn't go so Julie and I went and enjoyed the evening together. It was really fun. The horses don't even start training until they are 5 years old and most of them start to perform at about age 9 or 10. They are born brown or black and turn white as they age. They can do some pretty amazing things. You should look them up on the internet and read more about them. I think that your kids would be interested in them too. My camera batteries were low so my pictures weren't the best but I will include a couple of pictures so you can see what they look like.

Recipe Please!

I have a 2 1/2 lb pork loin I need to cook. Any yummy recipes out there? Thanks!

Star Trek

I watched Star Trek with Marci today. It was just awesome!!! I have never said that about any Star Trek movie in my life. I hate spock but this movie actually made me like him. Captain Kirk is "The Man" in this movie. What a great commander!! I now like captain Kirk better than Picard. The story was really good. I wish J.J Abrams had done the Star Wars movies because they are crummy compared to this new star trek movie. If Aaron and Julie haven't seen it they better do so. I wonder what happened to all those video tapes Aaron has of the next generation. Good investment wasn't it? : )

Dad's appointment

We went to see the Dr. and he said that Dad is having problems with the electrical signals to his heart. He recommended that we go see a Dr. Hwang and arrange for him to do a heart catherization and he would go in and give the area in the heart that is bothering him and radio wave to damage it enough to stop sending false signals. We go again to see him on June 1st. We talked to Aunt Joyce and found out that he is her dr. and she likes him a lot. They said that Dad would probably be fine until then if he didn't feel well he should just take it easy. He said that the problems with his heart also probably give him problems with his brain when he isn't getting enough oxygen to his system. I also went to the pain clinic and they radio waved a nerve in my back. It didn't feel so good and still hurts some but they said it would take a few days for it to feel better. I sure hope it helps.

Thanks for all the nice Mother's Day presents, cards and calls it was great hearing from you.
