Fire in Laneville!
We had a fire less than 2 miles form Mom's house yesterday. We could see smoke billowing up over the trees and fire department airplanes flying overhead. There was a news report on TV yesterday evening about it, which said that about 150 acres had burned. This morning Mom and I drove over to see where it had been and it was along both sides of FM 1798 east of Laneville. There were still some flames but it was all under control.

Update from Laneville
I have been here since Saturday and Mom is doing great. she seems to alternate between good days and days feeling "puny." The doctor (and his surgical nurse Debbie Carlyle) both said that is pretty much to be expected for the next few weeks.
I got to meet Dr. andrews and he is everything everybody says. I learned some new things in listening to him talk including a new word ("teleological"). But nobody ever said anything about Debbie, who seem to be half his secret for success.
the physical therapist came to the house yesterday and gave Mom a good workout and several exercises to do, including walking around the house, which has been easy to do because the weather has been very nice this week. It has not reached 90 degrees since I have been here, and one night got down to 50 degrees. No rain though, and it is so dry the place is like a powder keg. Mom and I went out and watered all the plants around the house yesterday, but I sure hope for a good soaking rain soon.
You would think I was the one convalescing for all the babying I am getting. Wilma is a great cook and last night she made chicken fried steak, purple hull peas, squash, mashed potatoes and gravy, just for me but I let Mom have some of it too.
