wow...time flyes!


jeezz.. where to start?? Just finished Round 4! By "finished" I mean the actual chemo session is done. Di would argue that she hasn't finished shi* this round. If she actually had the energy to "argue", that is. She has been asleep most of the time. I got home from work yesterday, her birthday, about 6pm. The first time she and I talked was at 3am. That's when she woke for the first time. She said she was hungry. Go figure.. Had some cantaloupe.. and toast I think. She says she's doing better today, but still dozing in and out of sleep on the couch with Dexter(dog). It's day 4 after chemo. Day 5 is usually the turn around day. Hopefully things will go as usual and she'll be up and around soon.

Went to England....in case you have been under a rock and didn't hear. Eric and Riam got married in Cambridge. GREAT TIME!! GREAT WEDDING!! We arrived in Cambridge on Eric's birthday, Sept 10th. Lots of good people and good times. Had a few pints. Visited some really old churches. But mostly got to hang with our family's and Eric & Riam's close friends.

Mom, Erin & Brent, Gail, Danielle and her kids Garrett & Sinclaire, Merritt & wife Carissa, Joshua & cousin Emma went to London Monday the 14th. We immediately got on a double decker tour bus. It rained... Got cold... Had fun though. The bus tour ended...at a place that was practically impossible to get back to the hotel. We took a cab back if I remember correctly. Or maybe we took the underground...I've slept since then. Emma, Merritt, Carissa and Josh left that day to spend a few days in Paris at Emma's place. They seemed to have a good time.
Mom, Gail and Brent & Erin left on Wednesday...I think. Danielle and the kids stayed until Friday...I think. We went with them to the London Dungeon...I guess it was worth it. Hanging with the kids was fun. During the times the family was gone we did a lot of walking!! TONS of walking. Walked every where. Had dinner with Caye & Dan Pierce a couple of nights. Watched the Eagles New Orleans game Sunday at their place. Visited all the places on would expect to visit in London. Took a train to see Hampton Court. Probably Di's favorite day of the trip.

All in all Di's health was great. Not a problem arose. Well, I got a nasty spider bite on my leg that looked pretty bad...but it's OK now. In case you were wondering.

I guess there are a lot of things to be thankful for! And I'm thankful for that!

Stay tuned for more info on a November 7th Party in honor of Di! Food, Drinks and Boys Named Sue will be playing!! Everyone is welcome to come!
