TGFM

Thank God For Margaret!  She was able to go to our house, locate the forgotten computer and take it to the UPS for overnight delivery.  The computer arrived today around 10:30 a.m.  I believe it has now become an appendage to my body..............I felt like it had been amputated!

We had a wonderful, wonderful week-end in Vale.  On Friday morning, Lee was taken by his neighbor Bill, to get his driver's license renewed.  It was due in May, however, Lee was too ill at that time to get it.  Now that he has his license to drive he may become more independent.  So far, I am still driving.  We had some time to visit with many of our neighbors, family and friends.  We were not able to see everyone but we will with time. I did some grocery shopping and prepared some meals in my kitchen.  It is so good to get in my kitchen...........I did find that I had already forgotten where some untensils were located!

On Friday night, Lee was able to go to his college football reunion of the championship players.  When we arrived at the country club we were surprised to see so many cars.  We were under the impression that it would only be Lee's college year of champions and expected to visit with approximately 40-50 people.  There were probably 300 people there!  Fortunately for us, most of the people stayed in the main dining room away from us allowing Lee to visit in the smaller room.  He did have to walk through the large room for recognition and I was somewhat uncomfortable with the large crowd.  He was only there about 10 minutes when I motioned for him to LEAVE.................as we were exiting the room, the cheerleaders (from college years) found him..............hum?!  Hard to keep them away!

Saturday was busy with visits again and I was busy preparing food for a visit from Dennis and Betsy who were coming for Greg's (son) piano concert.  They arrived around 3:00 and after a quick meal, we hurridly dressed and left for the concert in Lenoir.  We saw many of our friends and family at the civic center.  It was good to discover that our seats were in a more isolated area.  Unfortunately, our seats did not allow us a good view of our son playing the piano and neither did we have good sound from the piano.  The orchestra overpowered the piano. After talking to many others, particularly in the mezzinine, I was happy to learn that the sound was very good there.  We were honored to be the parents of our very talented son.  Tonight he is having a repeat performance in Gaffney, S.C.

Sunday was a whirlwind of busyness to prepare to return to Durham.  The ride home was uneventful (especially with my driving).  It was hard to leave again but good to know that our time in Durham is coming to a close.

So.............there you have it..............our week-end.  We are now settled back in Durham.  Tomorrow morning Lee has a Barium swallow @ 9:00, followed by clinic and to see the doctor @ 1:00.  He is also scheduled for a Bronchoscopy on Monday morning.  Hopefully that will determine the cause of this persistant, productive cough that insists on staying with him. 

Missed you all!

More Later....................................Brenda
