Pictures: Dave's nicely piled fire wood; Dinner at the Maki's- Dave and I sat on outdoor chairs (haha); Mom, Ev, Bill, Kay, Emma, and Claire enjoying Dave's home cooked meal; Emma and Claire.
So- another yard day. The Stickney-Dines and my mom came over to help rake up leaves. Claire twisted her ankle on the way and we set up a VIP area for her by the back door (included her own fire). Got a lot of clean up done before a great dinner of Chicken and noodles and then roasted marshmallows on the fire. A great day for Dave too. Our neighbors, Bela and Jean, brought Dave a handmade shawl to keep him warm during chemo. It was so touching. My heart is full and we feel so lucky to have such wonderful friends and family.
Dave, I can almost smell the chicken and noodles from here and I thought I could hear the laughter coming from around that table. Family and friends....a whole new level of enjoyment nowadays!
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting Phyllis. Are you still cruising?
ReplyDeleteNo I'm back on terra firma as of yesterday. Home to Houston tonight. I'll take mom back to her home (2 hours away) tomorrow and finish up some paperwork with her and her attorney.
ReplyDeleteDave, I asked all of my family at dinner tonight to life you up in prayer. I can't imagine how hard your body is fighting right now, but maybe, just maybe, you can draw on our family's resolve to see you win this damn fight!
That's our prayer anyway!
Thanks Phyllis
