many, many thanks

<p>Bob, you were such a cute boy! :) Not quite as intelligent looking as Simon - the soon to be physicist - but, still quite smart. You must have had a ton of old ladies huggin and kissin you back then. :D<br>

If we're going to get into ol baby pics - here's one of me back in the early 70's... with my brother... I'm the cuter, short one...</p><div></div>

[rose_duclos]

<p>ok, here's how bad fashion could be back then... I can't believe my mom dressed me like that!... ugh...</p><div></div>

<p>Robert - I know it's not all about baby pics... I'll stop. :)<br>

I'm just really glad you're back with us. This feels like a group hug type moment, eh?</p>

<p>Robert, I am so happy to hear you are home and recuperating! Continued prayers and good wishes to you for a speedy recovery! And I look forward to seeing some of your photography soon!<br>

<p>Those are some pretty cute pics, Rose. I'd be more concerned about the way mom dressed your brother. BTW, thanks for all your support. I hope to be back with my camera in a week or two.</p>

<p>All the best there on your recovery!</p>

<p>P.S. Great shot Mis!</p>

<p>Sometimes I do get to places just when God's ready to have somebody click the shutter . . . Ansel Adams<br>

The best of everything and get that shutter ready . . . Dan<br /> </p>

<p>I'm glad the shot of me in plaid pants for Tulip Time in Holland isn't handy... OK, I wouldn't have posted it if it were handy...</p>

<p>Glad you are on the rebound, Robert!</p>

<p>I agree w/ Robert - I'd be more worried about the clothing choices for your bro!! (As a child of the 70s, I have spent my life trying to hide & forget proof of the poor clothing choices my mom made)</p>

<p>Very glad to hear all is well with you, Robert!! This thread started the day after our oldest girl's back surgery (driving home day), so I have to admit to just now getting around to reading.<br>

I expected to see pics from around the hospital - things as seen by a patient trapped in a bed! Where are they?!??<br>

This is what recovery around our place looks like - The blanket is fully covering the 2 arms because they both have IV tubes in em (only 1 w/ a bag attached). The IV, therefore, renders both arms from the shoulder down, completely useless, meaning little girls must be fed like a little bird.<br>

Here, the Queen is being fed chocolate pie.... since she ate a LOT of lunch (including half of mine!!) </p>

<p>Well, I'll take advantage of the boo boo to say I didn't really realize that my file name was missing .jpg. Sorry.</p>

<p>ALSO - even if Rose doesn't think you look like a physicist Robert, I think at 3 you obviously show the intelligence that led you into Pentax!!</p>
