Hello everyone,
Hope you are all enjoying the beautiful weather.. I am really enjoying sitting on the deck with the birds, flowers and butterflies. How peaceful it is. I am so blessed.
Family update: Laura and Eric moved into their new home in Vinton. I pray that I can take a road trip to see it soon. They also have an additon to their family, Jonah, their new Chesapeak Retrever.
Patti and Otis bought an older home in Gate City. (any one looking for a house in Church Hill TN?)
They have stripped, primed, painted all month, still much much to do, Everyone is very tired, but happy. Since I am limited in what I can do to help, I am doing some meal preparations, which is rewarding for me and keeps them from eating sandwiches all the time. I am glad to be able to participate some way.
Mother and Roger have got the garden up and going. I would like to do that also, bet they will let me break beans :)
I am sure all of you have your summer activities up and running also. I hope you have plenty of relaxation time and a little travel, though it may be closer home this year. If you get near Gate City, come up on the mountain for a visit.
I had my second Avastin Tx with relatively few SE. FATIGUE is the biggest. I just doen't go away, but if I rest appropriately I can plan and do a few things that I like to do. I think it also affects my "nerves" for a day or two after I get it. Since I don't have many problems in that area, it takes me about a day to figure it out, but have had a few problems both times. Fortunately it doesn t last long unlike the fatigue which returns frequently. My instructions are to rest, rest, rest, which is hard, hard, hard, for me. Overall I think I am doing well and healing underway. As you know I have learned to take one day at a time. Live each day to the fullest and know that I am in the Hands of God. I have learned that I am NOT in control, a valuable and rewarding lesson.
Everyone have a great week. Thanks for your continued prayers, encouragement and support. I miss all of you very much,

Marlene and Roger,
It's great to hear that the new treatment is working so well. God is so good. We just have to remember that he is in control and takes care of us in his time. Wanted to give you an Isaac update. He's gotten so talk since you last saw him. He's now an eighth grader and will be going to basketball, scout, and football camps this summer. He's also going to be taking bass guitar lessons this summer. Steve is leaving tomorrow for Radford. The boys tennis team, singles, and doubles are in the state playoffs. I'm fine, just staying busy keeping up with everyone else. Love you both and I promise to come see you soon. We miss you.
Love, Connie, Steve, and Isaac
