XV

I've been home this week for an odd combination of festivities, but it's been just wonderful. Can I just say that I love my family? Yes, I think I will :) 

My Papa was so shocked at my surprise visit for his show on Sunday that he didn't have to force this pose for my picture ;) And more gifts and surprises came a day-and-a-half later when he had knee replacement surgery and got a brand a new knee! I helped the cause by practicing my knee-replacement surgery skills here. I am very grateful to report that it was a success :) He's sporting some fancy socks, been the star of his PT class, and the nurses have asked a comical number of times if he really is 80, because surely some one had made a mistake on his birthdate. 

Most of the week was spent at the hospital, or in the comings and goings. So in honor of being Papa's little helper this week, I found this picture hanging in the attic stairwell (a throwback thursday goldmine!):


Get well soon Pappy!
Love, Howland
