Life’s Pauses
Thank you so much for all the positive thoughts. We are extremely grateful.
Gini is recovering nicely following replacement of an aortic valve to help her heart hold even more love. In a fit of jealousy, I told my own doctor to order up something even more spectacular. Last week, he complied by performing a triple bypass graft. Recuperation may take a while.
We are still here. We will return to Nature’s playground at some point.
Play nice while we are away.

Oh my goodness, Wally, double-whammy at the same time. I’ve already seen you’re ‘still here’ with your latest post, but I’m sure it’s been a tough recovery for you both. Best to you both!

Please, both of you, take your time recovering, but hurry up. My stepdad had his aortic valve and aortic arch replaced–hard to hold him down now. Heal quickly and fully.

As a photographer I always enjoy your pictures. You have taught me how to see different things in our Florida nature. But I have a special joy in how you slow us down from the hustle/bustle of Florida and I4 to see the most special things, and read your words. So simple and so unique. You have enriched our lives with each writing. Our prayers are there to enrich yours and get you two back in action fast

I can’t imagine a better Christmas gift than having ‘all this’ behind you, and being on the road to full health again. Thank you for giving us the gift of an update; it certainly made my season a bit merrier. I hope that by the arrival of spring, you both will have a bit more spring in your steps!

And I hope the new year finds you both with increased stamina – your muscles have to re-learn how to keep up with your indomitable spirits!
