Thank You Kathy. I take a lot of pride on how our property looks. It was very difficult for me to sit by knowing there was work to be done and I couldn't physically do it before this new Life changing journey came along. No more looking...back to doing for me :-)

Thank you for the Support Everyone. I really love being able to do things again.

It was brutally hard to just look and know "I can do that, if I wasn't 400lbs". Now I can :-) and it will only keep getting better as I still have a ways to go for Goal.

You make me smile Wayne. We're going for our first camping trip of the season in our new trailer also on June 2nd - my husband's birthday and our 30th Anniversary. Being used to working hard, then not being able to do all that you used to, is indeed a hard pill to take. I find now, almost 50 lbs. down, I'm working hard around our property and loving it. My pictures aren't as nice as yours, but we're getting there. Congratulations on all that you have accomplished and God love your wife indeed - I'd send one of my boys up to the roof before I'd get up there - heavy or not.

Congratulations on your Anniversary and new RV. We are not looking forward to the bugs since they seem bad this year but it will be great to be outside sitting around the evening fire and stargazing.

We are at Bonnecher.. lol. Hey you never know?

You are right about the bugs; the black flies are almost done, but the mosquitos are big and plentiful. If I get any lighter, they may carry me away - lol.

We're going to Parry Sound but hope to get Ottawa way sometime this summer. Going to New Brunswick in July for a family birthday and anniversary - a trip we take every year. Enjoy your camping. With all of this rain (we also top dressed our front and back lawn and added seed), I hope the new grass crowds the dandelions (also out in record numbers). Life is good. Keep active on the site - it helps you and the rest of us.

That is so awesome. This is exactly why I want this surgery. To feel more active and healthy. It must feel so good. You rock Wayne. Hope I do as well as you.
