From City to Country

Dennis is now half way to completing his chemo and radiation! Yahoo! It is Friday and the end of the week is marked by great anticipation- we are escaping into the southwestern Washington countryside with a friend who has flown in from Alaska and rented a car.

The trip south from the city took several hours and we were stunned by the traffic-wow! It was a veritable parking lot. It was so nice and cool in the air-conditioned car I fell asleep. The skies were gray and it sprinkled a little. Finally we arrive to a lovely spot overlooking the Cowlitz River Valley. The gardens were in full bloom, the blackberries and other berries were hanging off the vines and we all relaxed. It felt wonderful... and we are ready to enjoy the night outside the city and our new hosts are great people, we really enjoy them.

Thanks again to all those that have visited this week-we appreciate you! Talk with you tomorrow, Faith and Dennis
