Our First Few Days In Minnesota

We have been on a roller coaster for the past few days!

* We arrived to the news that our good friend, Bob, had lung cancer

and it really did not sound good.

* We cried and then decided to throw a party to celebrate friendship!

*Kaci and Amariah stopped out to see us, as did Janet and Terry.

How can you not get excited when this face greets you...

At least she told us in advance "I'm Crabby!"

* Yesterday afternoon, Bob was taken to the emergency room with major swelling in his arm and then had an ambulance ride to Rochester.

* There is a robin's nest right by our motor home.

* Mom's neighbor called this morning to tell me that mom had been taken by ambulance to the hospital in Faribault. Later today, she rested comfortably with a badly skinned hand, a goose egg on the head, and a broken nose - the black eyes are a nice touch ... Her attitude is good and she will be going home tomorrow.

Tonight, Corky and Bob came home from Rochester with good news!

Bob has nothing in his head or below his belt...

(no cancer anyway)

SO, his lung cancer is completely treatable!

It won't be easy, but his doctor is positive.

We cried, with relief this time.

WOW, I hope life evens out, I can't take this pace all summer long!
