I was up at 5 to take the Scotties for a quick walk. With Maggie on Prednisone, she's drinking a lot of water! Next week, we'll begin decreasing her dosage, to every other day for two weeks, then done. She seems to be taking her chemotherapy pills in stride. Those pills continue indefinitely.
Mark finished the guest room project this morning by securing the bookcase headboard to the wall. He utilized two long brackets so as to leave 5" of space for the curtains to hang freely behind the headboard! The room looks very good; we're both pleased with the results! Tomorrow I'll take pics and post them!
This afternoon, we decided on lunch at the bowling alley. We had a good lunch and bowled two games! With just the two of us, it was a chance to try a few different techniques. I bowled 106 and Mark bowled 135 in the last game. Slowly we're improving. It's been 10 years since we bowled with any regularity! (And I wasn't too good then!!!) LOL. It's a challenge with two mechanical knees and two ruptured disks ... but, like I said, I wasn't a bowler before all this. Haha. It's just fun to get out and move!
Diane phoned this morning to chat. Kris is doing well with his new hip ... therapy continues! She is starting to feel a little relief at dear Linda's passing. It was a tough illness for all the family to bear.
Randy is still in Canada ... visited Gregg yesterday ... and saw Kerry, Angie and niece Taylor. (I bet they watched football last night! Kerry is a big fan of the Saskatchewan Roughriders!)
Sue and Wayne brought in a new "Sea Turtles" yacht ... a 123'. They also have a 103' sailboat for sale. We yakked on the phone today, too. They are going to Carol and Jack's for dinner tonight. Nice! (Mark and I remember the Orange Dreamsicle cake Carol made one year at Easter! Obviously it was memorable!)
The Tawns family in Oz said "adieu" to Patrick who is away to the UK and Oxford University.
Elliott, Melanie, Patrick, Alaister and, in front, Miles ... saying goodbye at the airport. Patrick is off on a new adventure! Another one leaves the nest!
With Patrick's good looks I don't think he'll be lonely at University. ;-)
Meanwhile, on Mark's side of the tree, the Asheville gang went whitewater rafting at Natahala.
Jon and girlfriend, Olivia (screaming) and Jeremy ... Mark's nephews and niece.
Jonathan and Jeremy ... brothers and best friends!
As you see, I got the Blog pics loading again! After several changes to "cookies" and freeing up space deleting Facebook groups, the Blog is loading.
Hope your Tuesday was great!
