Had blood count check yesterday - some up - some down.  I will start another round of gut shots on Monday.  That will the third of the predicted six.  Feel good.

We had  a quiet week here in Brevard.    I played golf once and plan to play a round with Rick Ciordia on Monday.

Joyse's Florida friends and neighbors arrived today in a long RV.   Jane is busy cooking cornish game hens as they are joining us for dinner tonight.  It will be great fun to see Ferdie, MaryLou, Mike, Mitzy, and Jan as we have visited with them many times in JAX while seeing Joyse.

 

We are going to Dallas, NC tomorrow to see Sara Peters ride in a horse show.  I did not know of Dallas, NC but we will find it via GPS.  Sara earned all of the costs of this show by working in the stables where she takes lessons.

Had a great visit from Gail, Jane’s sister, Nancy, Jane’s cousin, and Paula, Nancy’s daughter.  We all went to see waterfalls and clouds.  Really appreciated their visit. Enjoyed it very much.

 

Saw the doc this week and the counts are OK.  We are just monitoring at this time and will have shots again the week of 22 October. 

 

Looking forward to the Peter’s visit today.

I am a lucky person to have this kind of support.  Thanks Amy,  Kevin, Julia and Sara for your participation in the Light the Night Walk.  What a team!

I appreciate all the support from my family and friends.  Never thought I would be the recipient but it makes one feel positive about the future. 

No blood readings this week so I must be good.  I feel great and have been hiking and playing golf.  Jane, Joyse, and I did a fairly strenuous hike off of the Blue Ridge Parkway in an area called Graveyard Fields (of all places).  The meadow was filled with bright red blueberry bushes and orange trees.

Thursday night we went to dinner at one of our good restaurants in Brevard and listened to Shannon Whitworth pick and sing.  She is a great vocalist and local talent.
