This will be a short note to let you know that all is well. We have been trying to adjust to the sudden change of weather. We have had a steady wind all day ,and the temperature this a.m. was a low 46 degrees. I think it has stayed around 58 to 60 this afternoon. These changes in the weather do seem to have some effect on the way Lee feels. He has been coughing a little today, and I am hoping that is because he has been outside some today, and not rejection.
Earlier today we went North of Lenoir to look at some trees that we need to purchase as replacements in our yard. All the beautiful Bradford pear trees developed the blight and were dying. Lee had them removed and now we are in the process of replacing them with a mixture of Cleveland pear trees and Crepe Myrtles. He has arranged to have them planted sometime during the next two weeks.
Yesterday was one of those beautiful days that reminded of the days Lee used to enjoy when working on the farm. On those days he would leave the house shortly after sun-up and return after dark. He never tired form work; quite the opposite, he thrived on work. He confessed to me that those days were the hardest for him because he cannot do the things he loves. He does acknowledge, however, that he feels blesssed to be alive and to breathe freely again. He continues to enjoy his independence with driving and visiting his neighbors and friends. He still has not tried golf. Every time he begins to talk about starting golf again, he has a "bump" in the road, and once again it gets put on the "back burner".
Well, I guess the short note became a longer note. Just wanted to give you a glimpse of our days. Right now, Lee is watching a GeorgiaTech vs. State football game and I am about ready to start supper. I guess you could say, this has been one of those very, very good days for both of us. One of those wonderful, normal days!
More Later...............................Brenda
