Good morning, Mo, everyone. Looks like a quiet thread this morning. I'm visiting my mother in Idaho, and helping to care for her. She had surgery on July 1, and I'm taking over for my sister who lives in norther Idaho. Mom is doing well, is up and about, isn't in a lot of pain, and goes to the doc tomorrow for removal of the staples, and with, luck, removal of both surgical drains. I've been here mostly to see that she doesn't try to do too much, and to help empty the fluid collected by the drains, and to make sure she eats. Other than that, she's a pretty independent soul.

Her birthday was Friday, so my husband and I bought her a simple DVD/VHS player. She would never have bought one for herself. She has an old VHS player, and rents tapes now and again, but we all know that tapes are going away fast.

Really good news about your mom's nice recovery. Surgery is no fun at any age.

Here's a local musican I've been photographing. Think he's teen idol worthy? Very photogenic. Says he hasn't posed for pictures before.
