So good to meet you Viewfinder - I remember you were the first person to comment on one of my photos after I joined in June. It meant a lot to me to be encouraged by someone I'd never met. Thank you for your frequent kind comments! I often drop by to see new members' work thanks to your good example!
BTW - nice shot of you and Mrs VF! cheers Bron

Update on our son's post-op recovery. Slooooowly improving; metabolism needs to catch up with him so digestion process can go normally again. Plenty of pain meds to keep that gradual, which frustrates him because he wants to go home. We need to return to FL over the weekend; dr. is satisfied with the progress... I guess that's ok.
