Hope this finds everyone having a good week and preparing for the Labor Day weekend. Please be careful if you are traveling.
I will spend a quiet weekend at home. Roger is planning a trip to Pine Mt. to pick blueberries. Hope there are some there and he picks more than he eats!!
Had the 6th treatment last Tuesday. Have had problems with muscles in lower back, so have not been as active. Having the normal fatigue and tiredness this week also. Otherewise I am doing great. MRI scheduled for Sept 2. Prayers and Praise.
I will try to do a better message in the next couple of days. Love to all.
Remembering that God is Good......all the time and All the Time, God is Good.
In Christ Love, Roger and Marlene

Aug 14
Good morning friends and family
As usual, time has gotten away from me. We continue to work in garden vegetables, more beans and corn, tomatoes etc. Planing to make soup later in the week. We are definitely staying busy. I think I will be glad when there is a little less to do.
Well, I am not sure that will happen for I have a long list of things to do around and on the house.
The weather has been beautiful since the weekend. It has been cooler, in the 70's-80's and have been able to stay on the deck most of the time. I truly enjoy that. The birds and butterflies are so pretty and cheering.
Have not had changes this week medically. Still doing exercises, walking and resting....routine things now. Next treatment is next Tuesday, then an MRI Sept 3 Please continue to keep us in your prayers. Healing in progress.
Jack starts to kindergarten Friday, so there have been lots of excitement. Jack is doing fine. He has his bookbag and lunch box and he is ready. Guess I better make him his favorite MiMi cookies today, and see if I can find something to calm his mother, she is not happy. First time in 11ys she hasn't had a child at home with her. I am sure she will be fine, esp with the remodeling project, but it is hard to let the little man go.
Everyone have a good day, and week. Remember that God is Good....All the time.
We also remember: This is the Day that the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it. Love to all. Roger & Marlene

Tues Aug 5, 2008
Greetings Friends.
Hope each of you are enjoying the summer. Seems it is passing very quickly. School will be starting in a couple of weeks. Hope the weather cools before then. Was suppose to get to the high 90's today, but I am not sure it was that hot on the mountatin.
If you haven't been out enjoying at least one of the numerous festivals in the area, I recommend that you do so. Lots of local crafts, food, music, antiques, various culture activities and good times close at home. (assuming you live near the State line in VA/TN) We enjoyed a brief visit to our friend Lori's funnal cake establishement in Kingsport last week and saw a little of the Cultural Festival.
Unfortunately my energy level dosen't allow long periods of activity. But a short time out is better than no time out. The "old Power Naps" still kick in and if I can rest for 15-30 minutes, I am refreshed.
I am trying to walk more, increase the energy level, endurance and balance. Praying to do a few more activities. Have list of goals to accomplish this week. Pruning the roses (at least the ones in the side yard) is on it. Roger will not be happy, but between you and me, the roses need help, at least I think they do!
Other than low energy levels. I have been feeling good this week. Still sound like a frog (talking and singing I am a gravely-bass). It is the steroids, I am not complaining but I am still singing. I promise NoT to sing where you can hear me. The birds and the animals on the mountain let me blend in with them. I am grateful for the blessings that we are given. Like making a joyful noise.
All of you have a great week. Send me a message if you have a chance. Roger has retired for the night so I will close down also. Praise and Thanksgiving for each of you.
Remember: God is Good All the Time!!!
Love, Marlene & Roger
