40 YEARS!

I can't believe it's been 40 years!  Our family helped Eleanor and me celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary this week.  I don't say it very often but it's always been true - God blessed me with a wonderful partner.  She is constantly thinking of and doing for me and others.

The pictures below represent a peek at a wonderful evening provided by our children (mostly Kelly and Jen) and grandchildren.  Our dining room was specially decorated with seating for just the two of us, we were escorted to the table by grandchildren, the ladies prepared a wonderful meal, and the grandchildren served the entire meal to us, then entertained us with singing.  We always go somewhere special to eat for our anniversary and this was by far the best!  The service was fantastic!

Other than the celebration, it's been a tough week.  Since our dr. visit last Mon., the mouth sores returned  

and I've had to discontinue the chemo again.  Almost suddenly, the sores exploded all over my mouth so eating, etc. is challenging.  I have been able to stay in bed all night most nights with medication.  Thurs. night, we had scans and finally got away from Bapt. hospital around 10:00pm.  We have another dr. appt. Tues. morning to get results.  Please continue to pray for results, dr. decisions, and strength for us to deal with whatever actions or changes may follow.
