TELEGRAM

Those who have been following this blog faithfully since its inception, as well as those who communicate with me via email know my fondness for typing messages in the format of a 19th Century style Western Union Telegram. Hey--its fast, its fun, and conjures up images of the "good ole days"! So here I go again.

Collared!

The following photos were taken on Sunday, May 13. They show the neoprene-lined hard plastic collar that Rebecca has been wearing since her neck surgery on May 11. The surgeon said Rebecca would probably be wearing the collar for six weeks. (It's been two weeks so far, so we're looking at sometime in mid-to-late June.)

Here's the view from the front. What a smile! :-)

Here she is from the left side.

Here's the view from the back. Notice how high up on her head the collar goes.

And to finish off, here is the view from the right side.

We've Passed 1000!

Dear Friends,

Sorry for the infrequency of posts. Rebecca and I have endured quite a bit in the last few weeks. First it was the death of
Rebecca's grandmother. Then Rebecca had some serious surgery on her neck a week ago.

So please bear with us. If you are the praying sort of person, please remember us in your prayers. And hopefully in the not too distant future, we'll try to have some interesting posts again.

In the meantime, it's time for celebration. Our visitor counter has recently passed the 1000 mark. Thanks to all of you who helped us reach that milestone!
