Guess Where I Am

A couple hints ...















  They were babies, maybe six inches long not including the tail, and absolutely fearless.  

  I think I could have picked one up ... if I wanted to!  












Ibis, in the hospital parking lot.  

  Did you guess Florida?  If you did, you are right.  My mom had cancer surgery and I am here to help.



 Mom is 92 years old and she did great.  They discharged her from the hospital less than 24 hours after surgery.  As you can see, she was ready and waiting to go home!  

   She has a drain that has to be emptied — my job and I was very nervous. I’m getting used to it though.  We’re doing fine now at home with only a visiting nurse.  We both have a good supply of books to read and if we can figure out the Roku thing she got for Christmas, we can watch some movies.  



Have a good weekend!

    Please give your mom my very best wishes. Cancer surgery is no fun at any age, let alone in your nineties.

    Best wishes to your Mom. Glad you can be there with her. They need a sign - don't pet the wildlife!

    What a sweet looking mother you have. How wonderful that she did so well with surgery at 92. Sending her best wishes. Those Armadillos look so weird. I've always said that all baby animals are cute but, well now I feel bad. They are cute too. :)

    Best wishes to your Mum for a good recovery. Do armadillos bite? What do they do if you pick them up?

    Dear Cynthia, thank you for sharing the news about your mom and your helping her. She looks so lovely in the photo--her eyes deep and sparkling, her smile gentle, her body erect--ready for what comes next. I am so glad you are with her there in Florida.

    Thank you, too, for the quote at the end of your posting. The quote uses the word "happy," but for me, I'd say that the three actions bring contentment and take us into the depth of gratitude. I've copied the words and will post them on my refrigerator! Peace.
