END OF WEEK ONE

Patti is sleeping well and eating plenty.  She still takes an occasional pain med, but most of her pills are routine stuff except the anti-seizure medicine.  Yesterday, Kiley took her to get her ‘mask’ fitted for radiation treatment.  This will be used to direct the lasers or whatever for our daily visits which now start 4/1/13.  April Fool’s Day.  Hmmmm…..

If anyone reading this is hungry, please stop by.  So many generous people have provided so much beautiful food.  Lenten promises are put on hold until this good stuff is gone.  If someone knows who sent the 55 gallon drum of chicken noodle soup, please let me know.  It arrived anonymously and will be enjoyed starting at lunch today.

Yesterday was another landmark day for our family.  Thanks to some creativity and a lot of generosity from my siblings I was able to purchase Erymwold, the country home my grandparents built in 1939.  We’ll run the house and 20 acres while brother Peter takes over the lake property, the woods and the horse barn and pasture.  Some of the other pastures will be sold.  Patti and I are now the third generation to call the place home.  I lived there starting in 1968 after my grandparents had gone to heaven.  Patti and I have already repainted her inside and out, redone the floors and started moving in furniture.  If spring ever arrives, we’ll be spending weekends there for a long, long time.  No plans to move from Atlanta, but as we’ve already seen…. Things change.
