In late May we were in Albuquerque for over a week for the surgery, hospital stay, and time to begin to heal before traveling. Then Michael spent a month back in Las Cruces continuing to heal. We took short walks every day in the cool of the morning. Last week we went back to Albuquerque for a one month follow-up with Michael's surgeon. These photos were taken over that time period.

And thank you for the beautiful photos as usual and I am so glad you are healing well I can’t give you a hug because I’m now in Illinois healing my doing healing myself, you probably heard I was hit by a car walking across a parking lot so I’m still in the process of healing from that and do appreciate prayers.
