Good news

I've been away for awhile, taking care of my mother. She had surgery on Nov. 29; a planned two-day stay in the hospital turned into a five-day stay because of some complications. I was her "transition care" at home, with some assistance from my brother. We had a rocky few days at the beginning, but Mom got stronger each day. By the time of her post-op appointment on Dec. 14, we decided she didn't need me to be at her house 24/7. I will go back on Friday to take her to her hair appointment, and we'll do some shopping. Thanks to everyone who sent get well wishes to my mom, the 83-year-old with spunk.

The moon

Bob took this photo - handheld! - using his new camera. Cool craters.

Camera is fresh out of the box - 1st photo!

Bob says he's making all sorts of adjustments on his new Canon camera - his photos will get better, but it does capture Ed's spunky little attitude.

Beatles

And what am I doing right now? Downloading songs from the Beatles onto my iPod. FINALLY. It's been a good day, iTunes. :)

Here's looking at you

This is like a double exposure from the old days (and I mean really old days, like when I was a kid). Isabella was "helping" me make the bed and I managed to capture her looking forward and sideways at the same time.

And the answer is ....

The answer to the math quiz is: a. 1, 3, 7, 9.

Math question for the day

Bob and I got a phone call last night from our favorite nine-year-old, Wen-Ting Wong. She needed help on her math homework. The question was: For every prime number greater than 10, which digits are possible in the one's place?
a. 1, 3, 7, 9
b. 1, 3, 5, 9
c. 0, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8
d. 1, 3, 7

This is 4th grade math. Bob and I resorted to Google. Do you know the answer?
