I am being harassed!

When are you going to blog? Its all I hear! Its hard to have so many fans.

OK, its not that bad, and I am glad everyone finds this a good way to keep up with us. Since I got back from the West Coast, my work load has been brutal. We have been working on 4 different regulation packages, all of which have turned into a beasts that eat time like a black hole. RAchel has been training her replacement at work, so we have both been getting home late.

Last weekend we had a pretty easy weekend at the house. Took Saturday morning off to do a couple errands and get some other stuff done. We tore out all that was left of the bathroom, right back to the joists and framing. We love the port-a-potty in the yard though! And better yet, it sits right next to the toilet we took out. And, we knocked off early so that we could go to the movies Saturday night.

But, this week the concrete contractors have come and poured the pad for the garage, and Bert has started framing up the walls. So we are expecting that since we have a 3 day weekend, we will really have something exciting by Tuesday.

So, watch for new pictures after the weekend. Hope everyone has a great weekend, happy summer!

Latest news

Had a great trip to Phoenix and LA! We ran all around Phoenix, played putt putt golf (Jason beat me by 1 stroke!) celebrated the girls birthday, and ran to Tucson for a quick but quality visit with our friends the Chozas. Jason drove Michal and I up and back, Rachel had headed home by the time we made the trip to Tucson.

Traveled on to LA and spent a nice relaxing day with my Mom and a visit with my Dad, in between his meetings in San Pedro. Then I traveled down to Newport Beach for a 3 day meeting.

Saw the folks again for dinner before heading for home on Thursday night. Good trip, but I was glad to get home after 8 days.

Rested up Friday, then we hit the house project hard over the weekend. Finished our foundation, spread about 7 yards of gravel, and for Mother's Day, Bert took out that nasty old bathtub. What a nice present! Too bad we found out the floor underneath was shot, but not really surprised. Now if it would just stop raining here, we could make some real progress!


How do you like the fuzz on my head? When I went to see my Oncologist, she mentioned that it appears very light in color for pos-chemo hair! Oh, and she also said, you look good and healthy, see me in six months! And best of all, she told me to throw out the last of the blood thinners, and go have a cocktail on her! So I did! Bert took me out for a mini-celebration with pomegranate(sp?) juice mojitos, yummy!

Last treatment!

Thursday was my last radiation treatment! The team at the hospital had hugs all around for me, and certificate of completion and a present (big chocolate brownie)! Very sweet, the gesture not the brownie.

Rachel and I celebrated by jumping on a plane to Phoenix and now we are spending the weekend with Michal and Jason, too. Yesterday we spent all day in Michal's classroom, what a hoot!

Today we are off to the Botanical Garden and going to play mini golf!
