Joe's surgery

I don't usually post personal stuff on this blog - but today I went with Joe to the hospital for his disk replacement surgery (fusion) and thought writing about it would be O.K.

He injured his neck while shooting an assignment for The News Tribune earlier this year.

I didn't get to sit in on the procedure, but I did spend several hours waiting with him in our private pre-op room.

We just got word that the surgery was successful. Now the four-month recovery will begin.

Naches Peak: Mt. Rainier National Park

Joe and I went hiking this week.

We found Mt. Rainier lost in the clouds and fields of wildflowers bathed in sunlight.

Happy Anniversary to us

Joe and I celebrated our first anniversary last Sunday with a picnic at the beach where we were married in Steilacoom. We stopped at Trader Joe's to pick up fixings and noticed the corporate powers that be had the enviro-friendly bags made in our honor.

Enjoy!
