Sabino Canyon

Look closely at this rock formation. It resembles the fictional dog Snoopy laying on his back on top of his dog house. At the left is Snoopy's head. In the middle is Snoopy's stomach. And, at the right is Snoopy's feet.

The grand canyon

Imagine a garden hose that has been cut in half and then folded open. Then that hose is stuck out through the abdomen with a plastic bag to catch the material that continues to flow out of one opening.

Last week, my doctor cut cut around the segment of colon, pulled it out and sewed it back together to allow waste materials to resume flowing through the original plumbing.

Instead of closing the wound surgeons allow wounds like this one to fill in and close naturally. I'm told it may take about three weeks or so to fully close.

Happy birthday

Guess who turned 56 on Feb. 27. Kathy made Dave a devil's food cake to match his personality.

A visit from home

Kathy's cousin Algera and her significant other Dennis spend the winter months in Eloy, Arizona. We had a chance to visit with them on a recent Sunday. The rest of the year, Algera and Dennis call Wyoming home.
