The his dad is getting better after being put on dialysis and they hope to get him strong enough in the next week or so for surgery on his prostate. Its not cancer, its just enlarged and that news has my FIL realizing he has lots to live for in the grandsons and the the periogi that fibergeek is carrying.

Tonight we celebrated Benton's b-day with pizza and cake with dverning and weavedancer and Faydra. Good times.

I was able to get lots done today including a bit of stuff for myself. I managed to get past the instep on my sock and get my toes done and hit two doc appts and make fabulous frosting to go with the cupcakes and cake I made last night with elinor_dear

Its all good now.

I'm looking forward to Great Helm and will be home relaxing on Sunday.
