In the summer of 1985, I had major surgery and was out of work on sick leave for 10 and a half weeks. While I was recuperating, I went on a short trip to visit my brother and his family. I lived west of Atlanta, and he lived in south Georgia, out in the country.
I had a wonderful visit with them, just hanging around the house, doing nothing special at all, but it was one of my favorite trips I ever took. One day while we were there, we visited Okeefeenoke Swamp, and took a boat ride along the murky water, with alligators swimming by. That is my sister-in-law, Jean on the left, my daughter Becca in the back, and me on the right, sitting in Jean’s kitchen.

One of the few good things about getting older is that we have many wonderful memories, like you have here.
DAMMIT! I have reloaded this page a bajillion times and my stupid head computer won't load the picture!
WAAAAAAAAA!
Wonderful picture, Karen. How nice that you were able to visit family while recuperating.
Okefenokee Swamp is one of the places we (especially Bill) really want to see — we hope to go there next spring after we leave Florida.
It is great that you had such a great place and such great people to recuperate with. What a nice memory. Sallie
I've just tagged you–check out my blog to see why!!!
It's nice to have good memories of family visits. You look happy.
Sometimes the times that you don't do anything very special turn out to be the best times. I think that is because a person is not over busy doing stuff and you get to spend some quality time together just hanging out.
