This morning our Florence Nightingale flew back to Denver. Thanks, Quinn! I love you too! Mauri!
blowout – part 5
Sherry | April 29, 2006
All’s well here at 514. Last night at 10:30 I said to Quinn that maybe she was ready to head upstairs to bed, since at home it is 11:30. She said, “Right now, this is my home.” You can probably see that our recovery is enhanced greatly by her presence and help. The pictures demonstrate [...]
blowout – part 4
Sherry | April 27, 2006
Look who came from Denver to take care of her mOm and Mauri. She brought Chicken Little bandaids from Cassidy for Gum (grandpamauri). My surgery went well. In at 10 and home by 3! So I plan to sit back and enjoy Quinn’s TLC. Mauri probably won’t “sit back” but he’ll enjoy her TLC too. [...]
blowout – part 3
Sherry | April 25, 2006
After a long day of waiting, answering questions, being tested for this and that, signing releases, looking at x-rays, and talking to the surgeon–we could come home and eat our Pogy subs. We learned that both the tibia and the fibula are broken. Dr. Isaacson will repair the damages on Thursday morning at 10 or [...]

Sherry | April 24, 2006
Lazy sort that I am, I’ve been telling and replying well-wishers to check our website for updates. I realize this method of communication removes the personal touch but this might be a forgivable offense under the circumstances. I’ll see an orthopedic surgeon tomorrow morning. She’s seen the x-rays from the ER and wants to “let [...]
blowout
Sherry | April 23, 2006
What else would we want to do with a beautiful, sunny Saturday than take a tandem ride? We rode around town a little bit, through the university, then decided to tackle a first-of-the-season hill. Mauri kicked it down a gear or two so we didn’t have to work too hard, but we felt ready for [...]
blended
Sherry | April 22, 2006
Nearly every day I find some reason to be thankful for our blended family. Today’s reminder came in the form of this picture I found as part of a growing collection in my iPhoto library. I took it of our son Pete’s nametag that he wore at a Thanksgiving service at Bauman Auditorium in 2004. [...]
old friends…
Mauri | April 17, 2006
Words & music by paul simon Old friends, Old friends Sat on their park bench Like bookends. A newspaper blown though the grass Falls on the round toes Of the high shoes Of the old friends. Old friends, Winter companions, The old men Lost in their overcoats, Waiting for the sunset. The sounds of the [...]
i know that my redeemer lives
Mauri | April 17, 2006
A hymn written in 1757 by Samuel Medley, we sang it together yesterday – but only four verses. Here are all eight. I know that my Redeemer lives; What comfort this sweet sentence gives! He lives, He lives, who once was dead; He lives, my ever living Head. He lives to bless me with His [...]
