Sherry,
Sorry about your mom's knee. My mom went to the doctor yesterday too, and they said hers looked better, so maybe she won't have to have surgery, at least not right away.
That's great though about your second job! I'm still looking for a first. In fact, I probably should be working on that right now.
But I'm still grateful, of course. For the dahlias I need to get out and plant. And for beautiful spring weather in which to do just that. Let's hope it holds until the weekend. I'm pretty excited about my dahlias.
Love and hugs,
Eddie
