OH MY DEAR! 14 YEARS ON HERE!

In my first 10 years on Blip, I had exactly one miss, and that missed day was spent in the waiting room of a Florida hospital.

Since then, I've had a lot of misses due to a variety of reasons. The latest reason is 18 months of diverticulitis followed by 2 colon surgeries on December 5 and January 8th.

But, the excuses are over. I feel real good, and now am just dealing with the mental aspect of having a plastic baggie on my belly, but I'm getting better with that too.

Through the ordeal (except on my worst hospital days) I still looked through your pictures, and continue to like to do so.

I hope to hang on, but the camera does not come out of the bag like it used to. 

I still think that this is a special site, and I love all of my Blip friends.

This picture was taken at the Applewood Estate in Flint, and it looks to me like a water/flower celebration.

Many thanks, Tim.
