More gigs

The weeks going well. Dave got lab work drawn today. Also got the news that my mom excepted an offer on her house in Florida today. GREAT NEWS! Dave's at practice tonight with Mister Edd. He's still resting frequently... but hanging in there. Tomorrow I go with him to play at Walter Payton's Round House with Bryan Lubeck. I've never been there, so it should be a lot of fun... and pictures. Then it's Czar's with Maxon Struwin on Saturday. Labs and chemo next week. It will be cycle 4 of 6. We remain hopeful and positive.

Another Monday

Dave's hanging in there. Maybe some mouth issues, might have a sore and I really think he's more sensitive to spicy food, even though he still likes it. We ate Thai food....again. He has occasionally bone pain, doesn't last very long. No more bleeding episodes (they were very mild anyway). Very windy here today and we've had several short power outages. Laying in bed watching TV and looking at computers together. What a modern couple we are (haha).

The Day After

Pictures: One table today- the day after; Breakfast this morning at 1 pm.

Didn't get up until 11 am. What a great time last night. Made eggs, pancakes (Dave's job), hash browns and sausage for "brunch". Cleaned up the back yard- wasn't bad. Now another fire and BLTs for dinner. Another weekend of good times with CW. This week Ruthie has to go to the vet on Tuesday- probable ear infection, Dave gets lab on Wed. and I'm going with him to the Chicago area- it's really Aurora at Walter Payton's Round House. And I took Friday off. LOOOOONG WEEKEND!

Another fire at Camp David

Another great fire at Camp David. 3 nights in a row (Thursday, Friday and Sat.). Dave's been feeling pretty dang good. He's getting some occassional mouth sores and a sore throat... nothing serious. Still tired and resting frequently, but doing more and wanting to cook on the fire. Sat. we had lots of friends over. The YaYas (Julie, Joni, Liz and Sue) minus Catherine, Kay and Bill Dine, Danny Dine, Tim, Dan, Mark (YaYa husbands) and of course us. Dave got brats at Vitale's Market and pre cooked them in some beer. Everyone liked them a lot. Veggies on the grill, a great new dip and crackers and apple crisp from apples picked the same day filled out the menu. We were up until after 3 am. Such a beautiful night and great friends. Dave so enjoys the Camp Dave fires.

Correction on Cigarettes

Well, a friend ordered the fake cigarette I posted a few days ago and it wasn't the same thing I was really talking about. So VERY,VERY SORRY!!! Here's the cigarette that is definitely what I meant to show. The kit is $99. There are 3 levels of nicotine and 1 with none. It looks pretty cool. Pass it on.

TGIF

Well, our followers are back on the page for me. Guess some people could see them when I couldn't. We had a big camp fire last night and cooked burgers over it. They were good. Dave slept in some today, I think he feels pretty good. We may have one tonight, but tomorrow we have another big fire planned for sure. Next week he plays in Chicago and I'm going along. Will take lots of pictures, of course. Glad it's TGIF!

And we're in week Two

Week two of cycle three. Dave is still tired, but keeping up. Practice in Merrillville last night, Mister Edd practice tonight. Lab draw today. I'm interested in what his platelet count is. All and all, Dave is doing pretty good. No gigs this weekend.

I'm having some issues with the blog. Followers disappear.... "poof". Sign up for Benefit isn't working.... "poof, poof". I added a count down to the benefit, it's gone....."poof, poof, poof". Need help with the whole followers or getting a counter...... any suggestions? How?

Best news- meeting someone from Texas whose father starts the study drug tomorrow. Passing some good vibes forward to them! (see comments under last video).

ps- thanks to all who have dropped by snacks and soup. Hope we can have a Camp David fire this weekend. All are welcome.
