Late June and July Images!

 Recovering from heart valve replacement has kept me home and unable to take photos as much as I like. However I do feel great and I even mowed the lawn today even though a riding lawn tractor helps. I'm still restricted from lifting more than 10 pounds. Here is more leftover 2026 St. Peter's Fiesta shots and recent Good Harbor Beach images. And a deer that visited my neighborhood again.


I was about 10' away, acted very docile!

More 2026 St. Peter's Fiesta!

 On Monday after the Fiesta I underwent a heart valve replcement procedure (TAVI). The procedure only took about one hour and I stayed overnight in the hospital. Because it was a non evasive procedure I wasn't in any discomfort and feeling stronger everyday.The only thing I have to avoid for about a month is no lifting more than 10lbs. In other words I'm in lazy mode.
