July 23

Bob’s brother Jon, sister-in-law Ched, and sister Rochelle came to visit last Sunday and we had a nice visit. It had been many years since we last saw Rochelle. We also had dinner with another ‘soon to be listed’ lung transplant hopeful and her spouse this week. It is always good to compare notes and they fixed a fantastic meal!!! Enjoyed getting to know them.

Had a bunch of testing and an appointment with Dr. Raghu on Wednesday. It seems my condition hasn’t changed a great deal so that is good news. He said his job is to keep me alive until a donor lung can be found and so far so good…

Violet got a haircut on Monday and looks like a different dog!! Had the poodle hair trimmed off her face. We met Jim and Cassie in Chehalis yesterday so they could take Violet home for a few weeks. Cassie is out of school and it is a good opportunity for Violet to bond with the rest of her family. We really miss her though!! They are planning to go boating this week-end and it will be interesting to hear how Violet likes being on a boat and water!!! We have not had the opportunity to get here to a beach or creek since the weather changed.

Supposed to have a couple of warm days here and we are ready for it. There is a potluck at the yurt tonight at 6:30 so Bob has decided to do a couple of pork tenderloins on the Traeger. He and Mike went to Costco and Home Depot this morning…

No updates on the cannon project. Weather has not been conducive to construction or testing.

Hi

Thing are fine in Cove Or. The weather has finally stabalized to summer. Sprayed some of your weeds last week. The Artic Fox campers are still here and keeping the lawn mowed. Your grass is still green and hasn't had any water yet, may see if I can get the water going so he can irrigate.

Glad to hear the report on the doctor visit. We still have you on the prayer chain.
