Pathfinder

Dad decided to buy a 1989 Pathfinder. That vehicle was so reliable. Dad got about 200,000 miles on it in the five years it was his vehicle of choice.

Daddy Surgery Success

Dad's knee surgery was a success. Surgery stared at 7:30 a.m. and concluded less than an hour later. He was released from the hospital at 2:30 p.m. In terms of timing, this has been the smoothing of the six surgeries he has received over the last 11 years. Today, he is feeling sore. That is to be...
