I'm right of course ;) LOL. I am like you...come on already. 'Love you Dad' :) I'm not sure I want to know, but I will order the stem cell book also. I looked for books in my library...not much there...a man did survive Leukemia and Lymphoma (including a bone marrow transplant, a hip replacement and a heart transplant) and went on to complete TWO Ironman Triatholons. Now that's quite something...called "Heart of Iron" by Kyle Garlett (his memoir).

I can *so* see him doing that! I like our Whole Foods when I'm feeling rich, but I heard the best news lately and it's that we're getting a Wegman's. I am a Wegman's fanatic and stop at any I see. When I went to Fredericksburg last fall for a long weekend, I went every day. :-) I can't wait until it opens on 5th St. ext. <br /><br />I guess that y'all heard the bad news about Teresa Sullivan's firing. We are all SO upset and sad about it. No one is feeling very charitable toward the Board of Visitors these days. My reunion year is next year and I usually have 5 or 6 friends come to stay and participate in the events, but I'd just as soon met everyone elsewhere. Ugh.<br /><br />I love your jungle pictures. Such a contrast to the deserts of last summer. We've had lots of rain here, too, but are not complaining too much -- not after that last draught year. Take care and remember that I'm praying for y'all every day.

I say..."enuf is enuf"!! Actually, today it is raining in Maryland, and it is a welcome rain. However, moderation seems to be the key here, huh? Roger ordered the book on stem cell transplant from a patient's perspective... we want to be as informed as we can be. Glad that David can be off all meds for a while to hopefully regain strength and add weight. Perhaps adding a couple of extra trips to your favorite ice cream haunts might pack a pound or two on him. We were in San Antonio a short while ago on a River Walk cruise and they were pointing out the cypress knees... I found them fascinating. Enjoyed the photo of the lone falcon?... perhaps he couldn't believe the rain had finally ended.carol boydnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-45350635842727926472012-06-11T19:39:39.800-04:002012-06-11T19:39:39.800-04:00Terri that just made me laugh.

Never happens unless I go alone which is my preferred grocery strategy. I'd send him alone, since he'd be happy to spend the day there, only the bill would be twice as high as if I'm there. He doesn't do our finances so he pays no attention to what the total at the register is going to be. :-)Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00328866430156879312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-28031409229461744052012-06-11T15:31:09.854-04:002012-06-11T15:31:09.854-04:00Hmmm.

I love to slowly go through the whole store, maybe more than once :) If I take Rick, we have to be out of there in 15 minutes, tops! Too bad we're on the other side of the country. But, David eating his way through the store should have a positive effect on his weight. I think you should take him more often :)Gail Houlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04514395566282599562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-37247894954503499632012-06-11T12:38:06.581-04:002012-06-11T12:38:06.581-04:00We definitely got 2 sets so that now we have a spa...We definitely got 2 sets so that now we have a spare. The other springs look about like this one did so if history is any good at all, the right rear will go out since the solenoid on that side followed the left. Don't worry, we are having all your RV repair problems for you. You're safe. Thanks Paul for the withdrawal warning.
