Boat on the davit and ready to go, great picture

Tammy Pilcher

Thanks Tim, our sons were both home today (at the same time) for the first time since Father's Day and were trying to teach me how to take a picture and upload it.

Jeanette Davidson

Well done ! Really beautiful! Thanks for sharing ❤️

Tammy Pilcher

Thanks Jeanette, you're a sweet heart sister!

Duane Beeman

"Davit "? In Michigan we call that a "lift". Of course in Michigan it's winter for nine months and then we have three months of damn poor sledding. Nice picture.

Tammy Pilcher

Thanks Duane, I actually had to look up "davit" to see what that meant. We call it our boat "lift" too. It seems like I learn something new here every time I log in. Thanks Tim for teaching me a new word.:-)

Terrie Syvertsen

Tammy-Beautiful photo. I would love to be so near the water! I get photos from my cousin with many "water" shots where they kayak and bicycle. They love Florida and have retired there. Glad you have your son's around for a visit!

Tammy Pilcher

Thanks so much Terrie, you're a sweet heart sister too! I'm not very experienced with technical things or I could take and post some really neat pictures and videos here. We have dolphins that swim by just out from the end of our dock, they round up schools of fish,... Read more.

Michael Bowes

Wow.. that is gorgeous! You captured some beautiful color tones in the light orange sky with the faded water in the background embossed by the colorful flag. You are blessed to live on the water!

Tammy Pilcher

Thank you so much, Michael! I have to give my son most of the credit for helping me take this picture. I'm still learning. :-) We do feel blessed to get to live here and see the way God's beautiful creation is constantly changing, but always breathtaking. Thanks again for... Read more.

You look wonderful, Tammy. The scar is perfect where it is with that top.

John Jones

Looks great Tammy. I went back for my first post op on Wednesday. The PA looked at my incision and commented on the several suture ends emerging from it. I thought the little scratchy things I held been feeling were just small bits of scab. EEWWWW!!! creeped me out and... Read more.

Lora Lee Peterson

Tammy, you look great!!!!!!!!

Tammy Pilcher

Thank you all so much! Y'all are so kind! John, it is a small world! Our son likes living over there. There is so much to do and see! What did the PA do about your suture ends emerging? That would have creeped me out too! :-)

John Jones

Tammy. She poked at them and said "oh, there's some suture ends working their way out" :) but really, she said it's not a problem and they will disappear over time.

John Jones

Tammy, do you attend a church at home? A young man out of our church here started a church in Destination a couple of years ago. It is called Emarld Coast Baptist. He has a semi regular column in a local paper down there. His name is Timothy Braddock. Just... Read more.

Bill Cherry

WOW!

John Jones

Tammy, that should be Destin. We must always remember to spell check our auto coerce.

Tammy Pilcher

Thanks Bill! :-) John, we actually drive 25 miles inland to attend the church we've belonged to for 25 years. Even though there are great churches closer, we have family ties to our church. I think I know of the church you're speaking of in Destin (also a great church).... Read more.

Wow, that scar is hardly noticeable. Incredible. You look like you feel healthy too.

Awesome picture! Wish I looked that good EVER!! But the worry lines are gone now that I'm 4 months post-op!

Hi Tammy: Yes doing well. I went to church today and our congregation blessed 80 backpacks and school supplies for disadvantaged students in the Madison Area. All the teachers were summoned up front during the time with children. The kids were asked to touch one of the teachers that they... Read more.
