I hope it all goes well for you, that would be both the running of the ranch and the surgery and rehab. I assume you have plenty of books stocked up for your rehab? And, yes, let's see the pics when you get a chance. |
books!? I have my trusty Kindle!!!

I'm a city girl and won't go near the cows but I appreciate their quiet lifestyle. |
I'm guessin' mom found the cowboy after you flew the nest? do you visit?

Would your father keep the ranch if he wasn't able to drive? (Or could he use horse-power instead? or perhaps new spectacles might help?)

it's not sight... it is a variety of things... not paying attention (look! a butterfly! he has passed out at the wheel, driving too fast...)

My late-in-life stepfather is scary to drive with too. I try real hard not to let him and Mom pick me up at the airport, when I visit. Other siblings agree. |
yeah, well Tucson Arizona USA to Alamos Sonora Mexico isn't quite a drive to the airport! he needs a driver for that.
piccies soon I promise! (maybe during surgery rehab to keep me busy)
