Most people, after undergoing arm surgery that involves having a screw drilled into your bone, would take a few days off. One of those people would not be Roger. The day after surgery, we took a family field trip to the new Nature Research Center in downtown Raleigh. That weekend he did some serious batting practice with the boys. And, most importantly, he waxed the van. The kids and I tried telling him to lie down and rest (and to not worry about waxing the van!), but he wouldn't listen. Since then we've taken a lot of family outings. We've been to Harris
Lake, the airport observation deck, lots of parks, and on Memorial Day we drove down to
Scotland Neck to the Sylvan Heights Waterfowl Center (I love that
place). As we were leaving I held Dommie's hand as we walked past the
duck pond and told him to say "Bye-bye, birdies." He not-so-quietly
corrected me, "No! Not birdies. Bye-bye duckies." I stand corrected.
Anyway, below is a compilation of our family's activities during Roger's
"recuperation" period:
