After reading our last post I wandered around the site and checked the View My Complete Profile and had to laugh at "age: 43". The date we entered was our anniversary!!!! I guess that was the start of this Davis family.

What we know today is that after many appointments and another endoscopic ultrasound, chemo and radiation treatments will start next Wednesday, July 28. We are both sighing with relief that we have a real start date. I must say that we have met some very nice people on the way. Most have been extremely helpful and haven't seemed frustrated with all of our questions and concerns.

Otherwise, we are still working on our woodworking projects and enjoying the summer heat, the flower garden and the vegetable garden. What I should say about the garden is that Tom does all the work and I thoroughly enjoy the results, both flowers and vegetables.

Three of the six grand kids have summer birthdays. Graham's was last week and he wanted a giant cookie instead of a cake. It was yummy. John (JT) is next with a party next week-end. Then Kemma Jo. Kemma thought it was pretty cool that her Bubba might glow in the dark. What's really nice is we get to see them all together at each of the parties. Graham's party was an exception because Maria was one day post op for tonsils, adenoids and ear tubes. It sounds like she's enjoying the "sick card" and gets her brothers to run errands for her.

We got to enjoy a nice lunch with Andee today. We had intended to take her to Craig's but low and behold there is no Craig's anymore. So we had Sinbads hot dogs instead and Tom had about 2/3 of a Kraut dog. Whoopeeeeee

I'll close with saying that Tom is actually feeling pretty good and maintaining his weight.

Until next time........
