The past couple of weeks have been busy ones. I had a great visit with my sister Judi and did my best to show her our bit of Appalachia. We visited Cataloochee Valley, walked through the old schoolhouse and the Caldwell House, visited the Palmer House museum and of course, enjoyed watching the elk. We drove along the Blue Ridge Parkway and stopped at the Folk Art Center and shopped along Mainstreet Waynesville. Judi went with me to three of my chemo treatments and was pleased to see that Discount Shoes was nearby. Neither of us could believe how quickly time went by. She returned home this past Monday.
Four Taxol treatments down and only eight to go. Number five is tomorrow. So far, the side effects continue to be minimal and managable.
Living Calendar is going strong. I have harvested my first tomatoes and have been enjoying basil for several weeks.
Thanks to all of you who continue to visit (Libby from Raleigh, see above), call, send e-mails, cards and good wishes. Each and everyone of you are very important to me and my continued recovery.
Elizabeth, who is currently visiting Jennie in Tbilisi Georgia, was accepted to George Washington Law School's Master's in Intellectual Property program. Classes start on August 30th.
Jennie, Jim and the the boys (Quinn and Colin) are coming to the States for a visit. They will be be in NC the last weeK of August. Both boys have grown so much. Grandma (AKA Grandmom) is looking forward to having all of her "boys"(Liam, Quinn and Colin) here to play.
Patrick and Karen are busy getting the house ready for "Pumpkin's" arrival. November will be here before we know it.
when it cools down a bit, Chris and I hope to get a couple of camping trips in. Summer with out camping trips just doesn't seem right. We can camp in the area so I will be back for chemo and office visits.
Getting ready for "Chemo Thursday"!
