Hi! It's been a pretty dreary day here with lots of rain. I actually climbed on the riding mower this morning and was almost half way through cutting the front yard when the rain started. I could get out there and finish now, but it'll be there Monday.

Gary has not felt well today. Last night he ate a cookie and I thought I had finally fixed something that tempted him, but alas it didn't carry over this morning. He is frustrated with the fatigue. We had both hoped that those side effects would be easing up by now. We know they will as the chemo works through his system. I think we've had a significant victory to be at home today since it was at this point with the last round of chemo that Gary was passing out and had to be hospitalized.

Oops, I didn't think to read comments before I began this post. Sorry. I'll let Gary respond in his next post.

Our only appointments next week are at Tulane Tuesday and back to Dr. Oubre on Wednesday. Sure hope Tulane tells us something definite.

Well, guess I'll go watch those Saints!

Hi Gary & Robbi

We made it home about 1 pm today, Saturday. We were glad to be home and sure tired of being in that car.

We are really glad that we were able to get by to see you and hope that we didn't tire you out too much. Also hope that our visit lifted your spitits.

I will send the song that we were talking about to your regular email so you can download & listen to it.

Hang in there, we are praying and pulling for you.

Sure do love you.

What a difference some rain can make. We mowed yesterday and everything is so green and beautiful. Hope it stays that way for a couple of days. It is times like that that when we are through with all the work that I look back from the street in amazement that God would bless us with such a beautiful place.

One of Tara's friends came by last night to bring her a b'day present and brought her 2 year old cousin who she keeps a lot. Dixie was beside herself. She grabbed her ball and brought it right to Macy and they played for the longest. It was a hoot.

Terry is gone to work this a.m. to welcome a new crop of cadets. Ta and I are planning a trip to Nickys after church. We have had a week of "last" meals. Then I guess home to do a little more packing although we are coming along pretty well.

Love ya. Hope today is good.
