Welcome to Montana!

What are friends for but to take you with to the mountains? At least via the liver blog. So, here are our dear friends, the Anderson's, on their way to Montana. Left to right -- Benny, Miranda, Martha A, Mara. It would be dog gone hard to determine which one is the cutest in this picture.

I do believe those are the Grand Tetons in the background. (I had a college roommate from Jackson Hole, Wyoming.) And there's Lonn in the picture too. Benny must be taking the picture.

This is truly a beautiful picture. Martha A's mother and father in it too; they visited us every time and every day that Bob was in a hospital in Rochester last year. It was Martha's dad, a Mayo MD emeritus, who called us into the emergency room that first time at the Mayo Clinic; the very same night that my brother came to get Bob to take him to the emergency room. And who helped us to decode medical-speak, for example, if they have used the words 'liver transplant' they really mean liver transplant. I thought it was just a euphemism of the liver transplant floor.

Family vacation.

Martha and Lonn. Well, what can I say? It's another one of those I-could-say-so-much pictures. For now I'll leave it at this -- Thanks for everything! Happy Birthday, Martha! Bye! Love you! Miss you! xoxoxoxoxo

Thank you Andersons, for letting us take a peak at your trip to Montana; and for our wonderful friendship.

With love, T
