66 today & glad to find I was not forgotten back home – lots of best wishes. Unfortunately little time to celebrate. Most of my day was taken up on Insurance & hospital stuff. Further inspection of my hand found that additional surgery was needed & the operation was immediately booked for the very next day!

Heidi, Bill & twins Torrin & Wyatt
Back “home” Heidi & Bill had decided to mark my birthday with one enormous carrot cake! Outside, as darkness fell, the weather started to go wild. The veranda became the perfect spot to watch the dramatic display of sheet & fork lightning over the nearby mountains & the rods of rain move across the night sky.
