Saturday - November 3, 2012

Sorry about last Saturday but I was having too much fun with our children and grandchildren.  Brevard hosted the annual Halloween Street Festival which consisted of many fun events for kids and families.   Clay, Hulk, Laurel, Smarty Pants. Julia, injured cheer leader, and Sara, Little Red Riding Hood all participated in the costume competition, parade, and pumpkin roll down Jailhouse Hill.  Most pumpkins did not make it to the bottom where the target was located, but Clay's did.   Very accurate winner.  Because Brevard is located in Transylvania County, Halloween is a big deal.

Now the more mundane stuff.  Numbers continue to vary with some up and some down,  Good news that tests this week showed immune system (ANC) and white cells improved while platelets not so much.  I am back to once per week blood tests for the time being.  Probably no more shots until after thanksgiving.

I am looking forward to visiting Cleveland, GA on Thursday to attend Laurel's school Veterans Day celebration.  The kids put on quite a patriotic show and the Vets march down the halls.  Last year no one fell down.

We have begun enclosure of our back porch to make it a Carolina Room.  We are looking forward to the coziness of the enclosure with lazy boy, big TV, and gas logs. 

Thank you for continued cards, notes, and prayers.  They lift me up.
