We met up with the Jrs at Ellis Park last Sunday for the final race of the season. I can’t win a bet to save my life, but Casey did alright, as did Samantha! I had surgery on Tuesday to re-center my left optical lens and it went well. This time around the anesthesia left […]| The News from Sonnystone Acres

It was a Good week here at the Acres, even though we didn’t see the sun until Thursday. Samantha came over for a piano lesson on Monday, and Nova did a beautiful job singing at the EMA Recital. I was up early today so I could get some work done in the garden before the […]| The News from Sonnystone Acres
