184/365 David's House and other stuff

David is making progress on his house. He tore down the wood paneling in the master bedroom and has his office painted.










Awwwwww



Matt and Squirrel had some lap time tonight.

My view as I headed south yet again.



Miami is the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow







Quick garden update.

Things aren't so good after me being gone more than a week. Even with our fantastic cat sitter watering things, insects invaded.

Lost this one



But I do have new growth

Baby watermelon





And the morning glory is a bright spot

Just some loveliness from the garden

Another month done

It may have taken a while to upload, but June is done. 

181/365 Matthew and Jack

Matt and Jack spent the morning together hiking, geocaching and making sand castles. They came home tired but happy.

Jack enjoyed some video game time while Matt cleaned up.



Big shoes to fill



Hanging out in the hospital

180/365 The Hospital

This is what where we have been every day for what feels like forever. The most plain and uncomfortable waiting room ever.





Matt calls this the "Your life sucks and so do your snacks" vending machine. Keep in mind - you have to walk down more than half the length of the hospital to even find this machine.



I'm sure this woman was incredibly generous and a very lovely person to know, but the portrait is a little creepy. This was the only thing other than posters warning us of horrible diseases to look at. Oh yeah - the TV that the orderlies keep setting to Telemundo.



Such uncomfortable chairs. Considering that officially the ICU visiting hours are only supposed to be 15 minutes every few hours - you'd think the waiting area would be a little nicer. Fortunately the staff has allowed us to visit with Joan for much longer, but still. Chairs that you can't move without moving the entire row - WTF?

179/365 Another day in Miami

Today was a very emotional day. I'll write more on that later. For now - the pictures.

178/365 Matthew and Jack

One of the few bright spots of having a family member in the hospital? Lots of time with awesome relatives you don't see enough. Uncle Matt and Jack have been bonding over the past two weeks.











They are buds!
