More of the Same.... And Loving It!

 

 

Patti continues a very encouraging path.  She is as active as ever and enjoying her new found freedom since selling back her equity in the Savvy Snoot.  Many of you know the furniture and decorating business Patti invested in seven years ago.  Good economy or bad, this was obviously the time to stop worrying about payrolls and delivery issues.  So her partner Marty Mason and Patti had an amicable settlement of accounts and she no longer goes into work.  Hundreds of Atlanta homes are better thanks to the design effort and creative furniture pairings Patti created over the last seven years.  Now she gets to spend a lot more time at Erymwold….. dusting.

Since I last reported in we’ve had a great visit from Patti’s sister Betty who lives in Westchester County, NY.  We’ve attended a fun wedding in Atlanta and Patti’s roommate Liz made a return visit just this past weekend from her summer home in Newport.  Photo of the friends is attached.  Liz and Patti can, and do, spend hours at a time solving world problems over coffee and other beverages.  When there is a break, they help me with my shortcomings.  What’s not to love.

University of Georgia football has started so we will spend many weekends in Athens attending to those sorts of activities.  We don’t go into the stadiums so much anymore, but the town is crazy and the friends seem to be everywhere.  This week as we beat South Carolina (whew!) we were joined by Nanky and Jack Tribble, Liz as I’ve mentioned and daughter Kiley with boyfriend Karl in tow.

Health wise, the blood count remains good and there is a third MRI scheduled for 9/16.  Our new hero is Valerie Harper who has a horrible brain cancer (not the same as Patti’s) and has pushed through to remission.  She’ll be on Dancing With the Stars this Fall.  Go Rhoda!!
