Thank you to all of my friends for your comments in the past couple of months. I'm doing my best to keep in touch.

Had my surgery on June 20th and am slowly recovering. At least I'm not totally debilitated by it - just minor annoyances. -- At least it's giving me time to get all my postcard exchanges into the mail. (www.PostCrossing.com)

I have been doing more photography and although I don't feel I have much that I want to post here, it looks pretty damn good on our new Windows Media Center and 52" LCD flat screen TV. Sometimes I can't believe that I took those photos. -- Do you find that you're your own worst critic?

Gearing up for the cruise to Alaska next month. It's a repeat of the one we did in 2003, so it will be interesting to see how things have changed. Most of all though, it will be great to spend a week with my parents, sisters, their hubbies and grown kids.

Hope everyone is keeping well. It certainly looks like those I'm watching are very busy posting art, photos or writing.

Hugs to all,
Sue
