• We have here a primo example of "no news is good news". I have talked to Kevin today and Molly has been sleeping "sedately" throughout the day. He says she is doing what she is supposed to be doing. What more could we ask for? I think tomorrow or the next day we will begin seeing some milestones worthy of passing along. Hang in there Molly Lovers, the best is yet to come!

• Who is a chicken's favorite composer?....Bach!!!

It is great that the surgery is over and the healing has begun. We're holding down your fort in Oregon and look forward to meeting Miz Molly in person, whenever that may be. To the King family and Dianne - thanks for being there for them when the rest of us could not be. Mary & Kevin - you know we're thinking of you, so we won't call and bug you. Dianne, thanks for all of the updates. I'd have been going nuts without them!
We love you!!

• Such wonderful news--so glad the surgery is over and was so successful.

• A man is driving along a highway and sees a rabbit jump out across the middle of the road. He swerves to avoid hitting it, but unfortunately the rabbit jumps right in front of the car.

  The driver, a sensitive man as well as an animal lover, pulls over and gets out to see what has become of the rabbit. Much to his dismay, the rabbit is dead. The driver feels so awful that he begins to cry.

  A beautiful blonde woman driving down the highway sees a man crying on the side of the road and pulls over. She steps out of her car and asks the man what's wrong.

  "I feel terrible," he explains, "I accidentally hit this rabbit and killed it."

  The blonde says, "Don't worry." She runs to her car and pulls out a spray can. She walks over to the limp, dead rabbit, bends down, and sprays the contents onto the rabbit.

  The rabbit jumps up, waves its paw at the two of them and hops off down the road. Ten feet away the rabbit stops, turns around and waves again, he hops down the road another 10 feet, turns and waves, hops another ten feet, turns and waves, and repeats this again and again and again, until he hops out of sight.

  The man is astonished. He runs over to the woman and demands, "What is in that can? What did you spray on that rabbit?"

  The woman turns the can around so that the man can read the label.

  It says..

  (Are you ready for this?)
  (Are you sure?)
  (This is bad!)
  (It's definitely a Blonde Joke!)
  (You know you could just click off
  and not read the punch line....
  (You can still delete it)

  (Last chance)

  
  (OK, here it is)

  
  It says, "Hair Spray -
  Restores life to dead hair,
  and adds permanent wave." ....Val

• A tough old cowboy from Dillon , Montana , counseled his grandson that if he wanted to live a long life, the secret was to sprinkle a pinch of gun powder on his oatmeal every morning.
  The grandson did this religiously to the age of 103.
  When he died he left 14 children, 30  grandchildren, 45 great grandchildren, 25 great-great grandchildren, and a 15-foot hole where the crematorium used to be...Val
• Lucy read the news this morning after emailing her friends in Yreka.  She is so happy to hear that Molly is doing better.  Though I cried.  I can not wait until we can all get together again and meet Miss. Molly in person.  Lucy and Tori can not wait to meet (as Lucy says) their new sister(you will have to remember, the boys are their brothers according to Lucy and Tori). ... Val
• So glad Molly came through the surgery ok. That is terrific news!
  Love,
