Fine Friends

Today the cooler weather ushered in friends. One set was here from Ketchikan and visiting Virginia Mason for medical reasons. Thank goodness their surgery went well. We were treated to a lift to the bank and some shopping and then back. Phew, that was fun! In the afternoon a friend from Juneau stopped by to spend the afternoon before going on to visit family in Michigan and parts east. It was nice to see everyone, and the weather held the entire day, keeping the treks uphill more tolerable.

Tomorrow is a milestone in Dennis's treatment-it marks 15 days have passed, and there are 15 days to go!! He is doing well, and pacing himself, with lots of naps, and time to get exercise and to be with friends. I think he is doing great, considering everything that is happening. The last seven days of his treatment will involve radiation of the same dose in a smaller, pinpointed area.

This weekend we are escaping to rural Washington with a friend from Thorne Bay, and are both looking forward to the quiet of being outside the city.

Hope your weather is great too...

Faith & Dennis
