Good Times!

Such a good time of the year for us!  Even though it is the 28th of February, today is more like a day in early April.  The temperature promises to rise to the 70's and Lee is enjoying every minute of it! 
Earlier today, he enjoyed a visit to a neighbor, after going by the hardware store for supplies needed for some work on his orchard.  Brother-in-law, Tom is with him this afternoon to help spray and prepare the fruit trees for Spring.  Another friend will arrive later today to help him fertilize the blueberry bushes.  He has enjoyed using the Ipad II to look up all sorts of ideas and things to use.

Isn't this amazing that I can even write how he is enjoying his life!  This past week-end we celebrated our 18th wedding anniversary.  Looking back at the one we had two years ago, I am afraid I was not convinced that we would celebrate another......we are truly blessed!  We decided to enjoy a leisurely meal at one of the better restaurants, and were delighted to have a waiter who not only found us a table in a secluded area, away from the crowds, but a location that was perfect!  We made a toast for 18 more!

Tomorrow we will leave for Duke for a follow-up bronchoscopy to again make sure that Lee is still out of rejection and to see if that lingering fungus infection is completely gone.  We plan to stop along the way and visit some friends in a quaint little town called Walnut Cove.  Will spend the night on Wednesday. and plan for the full day of clinic on Thursday.  Friday morning we are looking forward to a breakfast at the Mad Hatters with Dennis and Betsy before returning home. The trips to Durham get easier as Lee gets stronger.  We pack fewer things and his medications are somewhat less than a year ago.  We have become more secure in these journeys.

When you cannot find me on the blog, it is a good thing!  We are busy enjoying our lives once again and sometimes are too busy too write.  Last week we celebrated our great grandson's first birthday, and next week we look forward to visiting our older grandson's new home for a house-warming.  The ages of descendents are now one to twenty-five.  This gives both of us incentive to linger a while longer!

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