Husqvarna LZ6127

I made a major purchase today. Bought a new Husqvarna LZ-6127 lawn mower
You can read more about it at http://www.usa.husqvarna.com/products_product_details.aspx?pid=12828
I know, to most people purchasing a lawn mower is not a major purchase. You need to understand, this is akin to buying a John Deere. Some things just are not done in polite company. But Sue was having trouble driving the B when her arthritis flared up, and we anticipate needing to do more mowing in the future. I could have bought a different mower for a lot less. But given the deal I got, over the life of the mower I think it will be cheaper to own and operate.

I know Steve is going to be disappointed. When he hears Husky he will expect me to be on one of these:
By the way, the new ones look like this..and this is the DOT street legal version:
I wish...

Samantha and the boys

Thought I'd bring everyone up to date. Steve didn't know anything about what was going on, and I'm not sure what everyone else knows, so I'll do a quick history.

Samantha (Dell and Tracy's daughter) earlier this year (late last year?) found herself expecting. Then Surprise! Not only is she expecting, she is expecting twins. She had some complications and the doctor restricted her activities. Last week a problem developed and they took the twins C-section. Chase and Clayton were 1 lb 9 oz and 1 lb 10 oz (I don't remember which was which). Turns out there was a problem with the placenta. It would have been entirely possible for Samantha to bleed to death because of it. think Clayton might have had some complications due to the placenta problem as well.

Yesterday Clayton developed some severe problems. His intestines were coming out of his body (I don't know exactly how, but I know it isn't a good thing) and he was transferred to Riley. Sometime last night he l lost the fight.

Far as I know Chase is still doing as well as can be expected. But we know it is going to be a long struggle. Our prayers go out for Chase, Samantha, and the family.
