Maybe this was a normal week?

Carolyn didn't have to go to Emory this week and is not scheduled for 2 more weeks, it was kind of nice not having to drive into Atlanta during the middle of the week even though we missed going to our favorite Chinese restaurant.
The weather is turning warm fast, we were into the 80s already and we're behind on rain for the year already.
Waiting to here if I'm in the Paddle Georgia (lite) this year, I'm starting out with the 2 day event to see how it goes before I try the full event next year.
Carolyn is past her "bad week" and will recover during the next two. We're watching closely during this round since she's shown signs of neuropathy. (sp?) Otherwise she's progressing well, her hair is slowly growing back, don't know what's up with that though this time it looks platinum white, wonder if that's because one of her chemo drugs is platinum?
The Adirondack chairs are coming along nicely, in no hurry to get them finished, I figure I hopefully have about 30 years to get'em done.   Some more old pictures....

I'mmmmm Baaacck!!!

Well when the laptop died it took me a week or so to recover all the files I faithfully backed up to another hard-drive, well, the recovery part is not that simple but I managed to find all our music and pictures. Then Blogger, for whatever reason wouldn't let me log in for a week? It works now? gotta love this stuff :)

Carolyn had last week off from Chemo, her platelets were still too low, this week they rebounded and she had her third treatment yesterday. Typical spring weather with warm days fighting the cold snaps, this weekend is supposed to be nice.
Rebecca's out-processing is going well, I'll fly out early next month to help while the packers/movers are there, then we'll drive back. I believe she has her first drill with her reserve unit in May.
Retirement is good, no complaints so far. Time to play with wood...

Here's some old pictures... Hurricane Elena, Labor day weekend 1982?


Middle of the storm, looking to the backyard.
Looking to the front yard.
A little cleanup needed for the backyard!
Our neighbors yard.
More backyard cleanup, anybody have a rake?
