I agree with the both of you that lunch with the sea gulls will always be higher on the list than hospital, Chris!!! Tony looks so well here!! An excellent capture to-boot!!

Hi Chris....was catching up on viewing some of my favorite photographers and saw this chat...It's been a couple of weeks....sure hope that Tony is well...The capture with the gulls is wonderful....Cheers and good wishes to you both! =^..^= #9529192

Chris Ebben July 14, 2011

Thank you to you all for your wonderful, thoughtful best wishes. Tony seems to be doing much better for the moment, he is getting use to taking all his tablets etc & is finally coming to grips with the idea of having to slow down a bit..... I only said a bit. We even have a week without having to go to visit the doctor!!! Thanks again to you all=^..^= #9529314

This is such a wonderful image, Chris. I just learned about your Tony's hardship and it's so good to see him so happy here. I hope you both stay that way. #9534278
