    The Little Red Hen
    Hooray for a good work ethic! The little red hen asks but receives no help in her efforts to put bread on the table. Yet all who wouldn't help would like to eat. In a refreshingly old-fashioned triumph of moral consequences, they don't get to!
  • Noisy Nora
    Noisy Nora
    Poor Nora! The loveable mousette experiences all the pangs of the child-in-the- middle, caught between the demands of baby brother and bossiness of big sister. Catchy meter, playful illustrations make for a wonderfully satisfying mouse's tale. Baby-Preschool

Tripp update

Tripp's surgery went well. It didn't start until 2:30 and took 2 1/2 hours instead of 1 1/2 dur to a lot of scar tissue the surgeon had to cut out, being careful to save tendons and nerves.

Dr. K said everything looks promising. He called on the phone because I was gone by the time Tripp came out - taking care of the kids and getting them to their activities. We've been through this five times now and Tripp suggested that I just come home and do laundry and stay busy so I wouldn't sit there and be anxious. I do my best praying while folding clothes, after all.

I will go see him first thing tomorrow and give you a full report.

Love,

Good to hear it looks promising. But FIVE TIMES? I've had one minor knee surgery and that's all I ever I want for the rest of my life.
