Shouldn't be posting again, but just got another picture of Riley... (post 1826)
She moved from age 10 to age 16 in one month. I've got a feeling that son Scott is going to have his hands full when she really does turn 16.

Congratulations on your anniversary! You both look much happier now, after 32 years of marriage, than you did on your wedding day.

Nah, it is just the Canadian Smile, we were in Calgary, AB in DECEMBER! We were, and are very fortunate. We left of the USA with my Job a week later. A lot to cram in.

Here is another recent photo in PV, I am not good as smiling for a camera.

LOL. We call it the Bergström (Lena's maiden name) smile. Here are three generations having a wonderful time (DD, DMIL, DW, DFIL):



But she can smile:

A bit of a different image.

Went to my hip surgeon today for the 6+ week checkup. All is good with the new hip and I can do anything physical now (I was anyway, LOL).

So here is the beauty:

So glad your recovery has gone that well! Also I love that you got a photo of the xray. My surgeon showed my knee xray to us on his iPad or tablet, but so quickly that I didn't have time to get out my cell phone camera and get a photo of it. I should have spoken up but before I could he was talking about other things that distracted me (like, did I want to have the other knee done and when).

Is that a high performance speed part you are showing in the X-ray? Looks impressive!

Here's mine. I have 2 different types of implants from 2 different surgeons. The one on the left in the pic is my right hip from 2014. The one on the right in the pic is my left hip from Sept 2019. I was shocked to see that large screw in there!

Welcome to my innards!
