Great news today. Brother Wayne is just home from his appointment with his surgeon in Saint John and had all the pins removed from his foot this morning. The x-rays look great, and he now has a cast on his foot although it is not weight-bearing yet. He will go back in one week to have it removed and foot checked once again, and then we'll go from there...Wayne has always enjoyed watching the birds and squirrels at his feeders. In the last few years he has befriended a little chipmunk who is now quite tame and will jump up on his lap to be fed. Last night I had dropped by at just the right time- feeding time! Here are a few good photos of Wayne with "Chippy". It is amazing just how many peanuts he can cram in his little cheeks before he has to scamper away to "put them into his winter storage". At one point we counted 24 peanuts!! I'm not sure I could hold that many in my mouth at one time!! (Okay - no comments out there!!) Just thought these pics might put a smile on your face today... Enjoy!
Peace,
Linda

WOW, what a brave Chippy! Glad the pins are history!!
And I love all the quilts you showed from the Augusta show. I really missed going this year. Next year, I'll have to plan a little trip to the US that week so that I can take in the shows..
What a sweet sister you are, Linda, to take such care of your brother. And the chipmunk is just too cute. Happy healing to your brother!
Glad your brother is recovering. My parents have pet chipmunks too. They are so cute. Alas the only downside of having cats that go outside. Linda G
What great pics of the chipmunk on Wayne's lap. I had no idea one could tame them like that. They are so much fun to watch at our feeders.
Sooooooooo good Wayne is finally on the mend. Very fitting pics of him relaxing in his chair with his little friend. I can't imagine that little guys having that many peanuts in his mouth at one time. Lucy
