Surgery and Spare Time

Rosie just completed the surgery on her shoulder and is on her way to a speedy recovery. She is finally adapting to the pain medication and seems to be much more comfortable than she has been for the last 24 hours.
For those of you who don't know Rosie had a tear where her bicep connects to her shoulder. It was either from Softball or from the time she had to save a man on the roof of an exploding building by hanging from the bottom part of the helicopter and then grabbing the man's hand and carrying him away to safety. Anyhow, to fix it the doctors cut the tendon a little shorter and reattached it to the bone in her arm.
Since I figured she would have some time to sit around with nothing to do I bought her some photo editing software. Enjoy!
PS I know some of you would prefer a slide show but I don't.


This was the Renouf family home for over 200 years on the Isle of Guernsey just off the coast of France.



Some of the local wildlife floating on Lake Lucerne in Switzerland.


Rosie on Halloween nightas Sally form The Nightmare before Christmas.










The colliseum with a few special effects. The grass was all torn up in the front so that needed to be fixed. I like the ancient stadium in black and white.


My sister Heidi and my sister-in-law Sung Jin on Guernsey.





This was a little cemetary close to the family farm house on Guernsey. This is where my ancestors were buried.








My brother, Dad, and brother-in-law on tour in Guernsey. Rosie says that they either look like ghosts or cardboard cut-outs in this picture.


I just made a couple of subtle changes to this one. I couldn't resist adding in Cosmo's Moon as well.




My niece on Thanksgiving.




Almost as pretty as the Los Angeles Temple Christmas lights.







This was at sunrise from my Parent's backyard in St. George.
















Rosie and me at Picadilly Circus. They say if you stand there long enough you will see everyone you ever met. We called it quits after getting skunked in the first 15 minutes.

There is another possibility that Rosie's injury occurred when she grabbed the kid who was stealing grapes from our vines and hauled him down from the wall by his belt loops. There are many things Rosie has done that qualify as Xtreme.
We are so glad that she is feeling better and hope that soon she will be back to her active, fun-loving self.
We're going to enjoy future picture-editing done with Rosie's software. Thank you, Jackson.

Love what you have done to the pictures. Well I'm glad that when Rosie's shoulder heals she will not hesitate to save any of our family members if a hero is needed for the occasion :) The Henao family wishes you a speedy recovery!

How is poor little Rosie? Is she wearing Ester's nightgown yet? (I think Jack will have to explain that one.)I'm sorry about your poor broken shoulder. You know it's really best to get injured at the end of snowboarding season and not in the middle of it. No I'm sorry, I'm just teasing! Hope you are feeling better soon! Let us know if you need anything.
Loved all the pictures Jackson!
