SNOW, SNOW GO AWAY

As you can see from yesterdays pictures, we have had our fair share of winter. Today, it is sunny, but a bit cold. Dave has been busy in the shop and doing quite well. He was hoping to make it to Oregon at the end of April to see our granddaughter, Jourdan, play some amazing softball, but he is scheduled for his next round of chemo at that time. Looks like we will have to postpone that until a little later. Let's hope for better weather!

SPARE TIME

Here is Dave's latest project. It's hard to see by the pics just how beautifully done these pieces are. No, unfortunately, they are not for me. He is beginning to get a lot of requests, and yes, he still has all his fingers.

ENJOYMENT

I honestly wondered if we would ever get out of town without it being for a medical reason. Now, we have reason to celebrate!!! Dave and I tagged along with Orland and Jan to a fun-filled weekend in Spokane. As you can see by the pics, we ended up at a motorycle show!! Of course, Dave was in his element and the only thing that could have made it any better would have been Dave's purchase of a cycle. Of course, that didn't happen, but it was fun looking, laughing and forgetting about cancer. We actually felt "normal". Dave held up well and went all day without sitting down or falling down! It was a weekend we will always cherish with faithful friends. Sorry, Jan, I just had to throw that in.

Upcoming I will post a few pictures showing what Dave has been doing in his spare time. He just continues to amaze me! Stayed tuned for more!

ALL'S GOOD


Again, I apologize for not posting sooner, but there has not been a lot of news to report on Dave other than he is doing good. He did have about 5 days of not feeling good after his last chemo, but he worked through that. I will have to corner him and get a few new pictures - he is really looking good. He has been busy working out in the shop on some furniture and, of course, his daily "Buffalo" fix. That is in - "Buffalo Cafe". As for me, it's nice to have some sense of comfort knowing he is feeling good. As you can see in this picture, I enjoyed Sunday playing Bunco with the "Bunco Babes". We had a great time, good food and good laughs. Thanks, Diane for those laughs. Dave came in and joined us for potluck then went back to the shop!
