Look at those eyes! I met the lovely Melissa and her daughter, Riley, for coffee yesterday. Riley is visiting for he holidays so I needed to see her. I met this mother and daughter team a couple of years ago just after I moved out here. We’ve done hikes and dinners and taken a few photos together. I’ve posted image of Melissa before, like this one and this one. Later on we headed for lunch and proceeded to gorge ourselves with Chinese food, it was Riley’s choice so her fault. It’s always good for a single old man to have two beautiful young ladies sitting at the same table with him. 🙂
Update on my mother: Surgery went well, routine as the doctors called it. She will spend a couple days in ICU and may go home before the weekend is over. Now comes the slow process of healing. We hope she has the energy and strength to work through a smooth recovery.

Bella! Very nice, monte. And how is your mother today?

My mothers doing good. Surgery was “routine.” She is a bit groggy this morning but they still had her up and walking today. My sister says she has a good sense of humor today (drugs maybe?). Hope to talk to her tonight.

Lovely portrait and welome news that your mother’s surgery could be deemed “routine”. Now, the prayers can focus on a “routine” recovery.

Beautiful eyes indeed, but I also admired the Buns photo. A mention of Chinese Food has made me hungry. 🙂
Great news about you mother…wishing her a speedy recovery!
A very Happy New Year’s wish for you!

Yep, I like that Buns image. I never tried the restaurant but don’t really need to try. Melissa will be glad to know you like that image also.
My sister says mom is a bit groggy this morning but they still had her up and walking today. She also says she has a good sense of humor today (drugs maybe?). Hope to talk to her tonight. Thanks for your support, caring and prayers.

Hey, Monte. Routine is good! No excitement or drama needed! 🙂 Glad to hear that your mother is doing well.
Monte Stevens
Thanks, Paul. Dad says they may send her home on Monday. She must really be causing them trouble if they want her out there that fast! 🙂

Glad to hear your mother is going to be OK. Your photographs of Melissa are excellent. You have captured her with a natural, down-to-earth expression. May you make many more of her for a long time to come.
