Dr Bob-

Man, ain't it always the little things that foul you up. It's a good thing you had your Plan B breakfast strategery ready for action. I love to go to breakfast too - still wondering what is served at the PMS diner...Glad to hear that you got to finally snatch some quality deck time, too. It was a beautiful day today. Fresh and Crisp. So glad you were able to partake of it.

Have you been putting heat on your zinger? I spent the afternoon shuffling an electric heating pad around my head and neck and it seemed to help.

Hmm Have you thought about calling in the services of a Swedish Massage Therapist? Just sayin'.

;-> yuk-yuk.

From here it looks like the beautiful days have started so enjoy the deck. The weekend sounds like it will be great but I sometimes think they say that just to get everyone down the shore. My two Sams are going fishing Saturday, maybe we can bring you some sea bass. Love you both

Dr Bob,

Sorry you haven't heard from us before. We have enjoyed Mo's progress reports. We're sooooo glad that you are home, we know how great that is from John's stay when you saved his life!

We want to know when they will let you go fishing? John's still waiting for lessons. Blueberry pancakes are on the breakfast menu there.

We miss you at the office. As great as all the other Docs are, they are not you!

Hope you got deck time today, what a fabulous day!

Know that both you and Mo are in our prayers all the time.

Hi Dr. Mazzola,
Too bad about the mix-up at the hospital. At least you got to go out to breakfast. I am sure you are out on your deck today. Enjoy. Linda V.

Hey Dr Bob and Mo-

Good morning you two. Hope you were able to get in some more quality deck time yesterday - it was another beautiful day, wasn't it?

Not looking as promising this morning, darn it. It's supposed to be nice this weekend though. (I think?)

Hope that your Memorial Day is a beautiful one with lots of quality deck time and some nice fresh sea bass from santac and her two Sams.

I'll be thinking of you and sending you lots of love and good vibes from the Memorial Day ceremonies at the Lake Milton American Legion. (Parade! 21 Gun Salute! Free Hot Dogs! Free Draft Beer!)

Know from this blog that you served our country in the Air Force Bob, so I'd like to take this opportunity to say thank you for your service and have a great weekend. :->

Cheers - K
