With the 4th of July just around the corner, it is time for us to say farewell to Memaw Rita for the third summer in row. Jo's mom has been with us for a little over 6 weeks and she has been a tremendous help getting us through Jo's first shoulder surgery. Thank you Memaw for all you have done for us!
Speaking of summer, the 4th of July and Baseball (The Great American Pastime), how about those Yankees? At 3 games under .500, this could be the worst start in Yankee Town in recent memory. Jo actually received a call from the Bronx Bombers this week. They heard that her shoulder was feeling so good, they were hoping she would consider pitching (left handed) in their starting rotation. Ultimately, Jo's decision came down to this...
Roger Clemens - $22M
Jo's Offer - $10M
Being a Mom - Priceless
Believe it or not, I voted that she take the job.
Jo has about 95% of her range of motion back in her left shoulder. She does still have a bit of soreness and her incision is a little tender, but overall, the shoulder recovery continues to be incredibly easy.
We have made an appointment for Jo's right shoulder surgery on September 5th which will be here quicker than we can imagine. She could have done it sooner, but to be honest, we chose to take the summer off!

Dear Jo, Tim, and Anna,
A beautiful picture of Grandma Rita,...not to mention "sweet" Anna, as well. I am glad to see an
update on the blog, and please know that my thoughts of a positive recovery in ALL AREA'S
are with you....
I love you,
T.K. Crabb
Taking the Summer Off - what a wise decision. Anna has been so blessed by having one grandmother or the other with her most of her first two years. Too bad it had to be at Moms physical expense. It is so wonderful hearing all GOOD news from the homefront. Love and Prayers, jam
Well now, sounds like things are going well! And by golly, it's about time. Glad all of you will be taking a little break from all the doctoring this summer. Memaw looks wonderful and I believe Anna's is starting to look a little more "mature" and a little less "baby girl".
I was thrilled to see the date for the 2nd surgery is AFTER our scheduled workshop in Colorado Springs! Yipppeee!
Not to worry, Jo, I'll do whatever you need me to do for you. I can do all the footwork and you can do all the talking if necessary...now that would be a real switch for the two of us. :0)
Sorry I missed you when I was in Greeley for the D4D, however, I figured you needed to have your space and time to rest right after the first shoulder surgery.
Love to all,
Joanne Brady
Jo – It was a joy to visit and hug with you at the Phoenix event over the Fourth. Your warmth and spiritual beauty, along with your radiant, beautiful face, were highlights of the event for me.
My love to you, Tim, and Anna....you are all remarkable!

Jo - I saw you in Fort Wayne, Indiana in 1998 at the Team Dance Competitions which I loved. I have been trying to find other events of this kind since that date and have been unable to find anything other than the regular line and partner dance competitions. Do you know of "ANY" team dance competitions that will be coming up. If you do, could you email me at:
puzzleitz2003@yahoo.com.
Thanks and I wish you all the best.
Pat
