All is well - off all drugs

I am very happy to report that all is well here. Doug has finished his two years of Zometa, the biophosphanate drug that strengthens bones. No more trips for infusions! So other than daily vitamins he is now off all drugs. Of course I am holding my breath that his bones stay strong.

We have had a wonderful summer and now fall is here. Maybe not officially according to the calendar, but fall weather is here. We are having delightfully warm days and chilly nights. The flower garden is still pretty but I have cut back my hollyhocks. We measured the tallest one and it was 9 feet.

My sister came from Murfreesboro to visit a couple of weeks ago, and we went to Denver to see our son Kelly and his family. All five grandkids were there and we had a great time. The grandkids are all teenagers now, ages 14 to 18. I am posting a picture of Kelly and his family.

We are very thankful that our lives are this good. We both have been doing volunteer work at our church. It feels good to be on the giving end.

Love to all.
