TGIF? You bet...!

Are we happy today is Friday, and the next to last week too? Yes we are. Things have been going relatively well, perhaps a step or two above average -- but they are still sometimes difficult, and build up over time. Both of us are tired mentally and physically, and really eager to return home.

We did make one group's day today, though. When we went over for my radiation treatment at 2:30 today, Faith brought over a plate full of gravlax on crackers with cream cheese. I made the gravlax at home, after returning from surgery and before coming down here, so it meant even more to them. They have done great work on me, so it's good to do them a small favor.

Tomorrow is the start of visits by family members. Youngest daughter Heather will arrive mid-day tomorrow, followed by Cousin Kevin on Sunday. Or Monday, depending on when he feels like coming up from his trip to Portland. Then on Tuesday, oldest daughter Erin and her friend will show up as Heather heads back home. They go home Thursday, but then there is only one day left for Faith and I to go through, before we can go home. So everything here will end with family activities -- which is probably a pretty good approach.

Here's hoping you have good events in your weekend too...

Dennis & Faith

Dennis- I'm still thinkin' good thoughts in your direction, good buddy. Glad to see temperatures dropped into the low 70's in Seattle today. I'm looking forward to reading that you're home in Ketchikan. Pete
