Patti continues to do great.
More blood tests tomorrow and then a new prescription of Chemo. But it’s been a great few weeks. Patti’s younger sister Joan came from North
Carolina in mid July and brought her beautiful daughter Sarah. We had a great visit. As you’ve heard, the last MRI was clear and
we don’t have another test for almost a month.
Kanuga. How does one
explain Kanuga. It’s an Episcopal
retreat in Hendersonville, NC where Hodgson’s have been resting each summer for
almost a hundred years. It was
originally a gambling resort that was sold to the church in 1929. You do the math. I can’t sell people on Kanuga, but after a
few visits you just might get it. No AC,
TV, Cell Service, Pool or Room Service.
Just a simple Inn, great cottages and friends from last year and the
years before that. And a beautiful
lake. Family style meals and kid’s
programs seal the deal for most moms. I
took my ‘Yankee Wife’ to Kanuga for the first time when we were newlyweds. Cottage 26 has been our domain the last week
of July for the past 21 years. We just
love it. Many cousins and friends on
this distribution have spent at least some time at Kanuga. It clears your head.
Patti’s sister Betty shows up in a few weeks and a great
visit is expected. The kitchen at
Erymwold is still in process. Our
contractor, we’ll call him Joe, was nominated for ‘Most Talkative’ and ‘Most Deliberate’
master craftsman in the Universe.
Congratulations, Joe. Back to
work.
