Who&#8217;d a thunk it?  She&#8217;s been a great Mom for as long as I have known her and has spent a lifetime helping others.  <\/p>\n<p>My Mom, Mother Morris to me, has been living in Holbrook, NY for about five years with my younger sister Arna.  She has been on a walker for the last three years after having her replacement left hip replaced. She gets around OK and is of sound mind.  She enjoys doing jigsaw puzzles, listening to books on tape and CD, and watching all manner of TV programs including &#8220;Chopped,&#8221; &#8220;Pawn Stars,&#8221; &#8220;American Pickers,&#8221; and her absolute favorite, &#8220;Storage Wars.&#8221;  Heck, when I am visiting Long Island which has been a lot these last few years, I actually watch that some of them.  I love &#8220;Chopped.&#8221;<\/p>\n<table>\n<tr>\n<td>ngg_shortcode_1_placeholder<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>I spent Saturday past at Fort DeSoto with a new client, Dennis Cassidy, a cardiologist from St. Pete.  We had a great time and I was delighted to learn that Dennis is a Happy Camper.  Not wanting to drive home in the dark I got a motel room and headed back to DeSoto early on Sunday morning.  As you can see by the look on my face, it was a wonderful morning.  I spent the whole time hand holding my 500mm f\/4L IS II with the 1D X and I and all of my gear wound up soaking wet and covered with sand from head to toe. I had a blast. I met a nice young photographer named Robert Kimbrell on the sand spit near the Gulf and asked him if he would photograph me and send me a JPEG.  He did and came through with flying colors. Thanks Robert!  Ask and ye shall receive. <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"728\" scrolling=\"no\" height=\"90\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none;\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/mer54715.datafeedfile.com\/widget\/aff_widget_prdt_generate-2.0.php?aff_num=7226&#038;aff_net=1&#038;size=728x90&#038;mode=m&#038;bucket_num=2669&#038;link_target=y\" marginheight=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\"><\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iFrame.<\/p>\n<p><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<h3>Tomorrow<\/h3>\n<h2>A Bird Photographer&#8217;s Story\/Orange Audubon Society: September 20, Orlando, FL<\/h2>\n<p>Yours truly will be presenting &#8220;A Bird Photographer&#8217;s Story&#8221; for the Orange Audubon Society tomorrow, September, 20, at 7 pm in the Camellia Room at the Harry P.
