Trips

Greetings to all this weekend. Wanted to let you know that I did make the 2 planned trips for the week. Thanks to my friend Carol, I was able to go to Marion to the District office and visit with staff. I was so glad to see everyone and hope to see others in the near future. I have a "plan" to get around to see everyone soon! It was even great to talk about Flu vaccine for a little while.....HONEST. We made a stop in Wash. Co. I was very sorry not to see everyone, but hope to be back in the area very soon.. Plans for a short trip to Bristol next, but will probably be a couple of weeks. Unfortunately my stamina and energy goes pretty fast.....but it is ok, I am biding my time and perservering!!

My other road trip was on Saturday, to Laura's in Roanoke. Patti and I went to the Vinton War Memorial Gala Extravaganza (Ribbon Cutting ceramony and ball). I was so very excited to be able to attend with both my daughters and it was so wonderful to see all of Laura's work come together so beautifully. (and to meet everyone and hear the wonderful compliments for her work) It was truly a sepectacular event, very successful!! Needless to say we were proud of her and as I said, I was go very very glad, and thankful to be able to attend. I actually did very well and enjoyed it such that I stated longer than I had planned..... the music and food were excellent. It was Great! It is always wonderful to spend time with my girls and we (and Eric)had a great time. If any of you are in the Vinton area, please drop by and see the ball room and renovations, they will be having open house for the next 2-3 weeks, but of course you can stop by any time..

We returned (a little late) last night so I will have 2 days of rest before my return to C'ville this week and I am keeping an open mind for other weeks activities!! I continue with my perserver and get up and move plans. Hoping that each of you are having a good weekend with family.

Thank you all for continuing to keep us lifted up. Praying for continued improvement with fatigue, tiredness and for ability to deal with the vision symptoms which continue to "come (pretty frequently) & go". Will be back in touch soon. Remembering that God is Goood........All the Time......and All the Time.....God is Good. Love, Marlene & Roger
