Family Pictures.....a BIG job.....a healthier Ken

The taking of family pictures is stressful - mostly for the photographer!  :)   Jessica is no exception; however she DID handle it with good humor.    Then when you add Grandad, Wiley and me in you have real trouble.  I quickly snapped these 

realizing quickly Jessica would become fast friends with Photo Shop.

I'll compare when we get the real things.

Then we came home and found an apple napper in the back yard.

Two nights later we found THREE guys in the backyard.

This guy is going to be a big one.

Then I took a picture of Lori's beautiful plant.  I think I'm beginning to like yellow!

And then there's Ken.  We watched the Olympics over at W/T's the other afternoon.  Ethan was all over Ken. He so wanted to be close and Ken was doing good.  Notice the arms above the head?  A pose he usually doesn't do unless he's lying flat in bed.
He goes to the doc again Friday for more TPI's and an in-depth discussion about the medication.  Ken wants to have a plan B for the topiramate.  It's been 20 years since he's changed and traditionally he's had to change at the 20 years mark.  He'll ask the docs to come back in two weeks with Plan B so if (when) I call they'll already know what they'll do.  A good idea I think.  We don't want to have to make a flying trip back.

He has been very productive so far - greasing the bus; getting ready to change oil in the genset and the big engine and maybe a few other plans.  Not that he is in a hurry.  Hey!  We're retired.  He officially comes off the "disabled" roles with SS and becomes "retired" in September.  Another milestone of some kind.
