Here it is October already. Pretty soon it will be a year since Tom's surgery. We got through the last session of chemo without any major problems. He will start the next (fourth) four week session on Thursday. Right now the plan is to repeat the CT scan after the end of this session. The results will determine the next steps. The hair is getting thin but he still has his curls. He won't get it trimmed, so we'll see how long it lasts.
September in Reno brought the Rib Cook Off. Our kids were nice enough to bring us ribs so we didn't have to fight the crowds. Then we had the Hot Air Balloon Races. We had a group over for breakfast on Saturday and we got quite a show! The balloons were close enough to our house that we could talk with pilots. Then the Air Races. Tragedy struck but all of our friends and family were safe. Part of the family had left about a half hour before the accident and another part of the family were in the bleachers, but a few sections down from the crash with no injuries.
September also brought us to a family photo session. We all got together at Rancho San Rafael Park and had photos taken, big groups, little groups, pairs, etc. I got to see them all when we got home from Oregon. What great photos. We were all so pleased with the results.
The last week-end we headed up to Coos Bay Oregon to go crabbing. The first day we got there, Tom and I celebrated our 45th wedding anniversary with champagne and cake and a whole lot of great friends! On to the crabbing - what a haul!! We all got to bring home enough crab to probably last until next crabbing trip. As usual we ate a lot of good seafood meals along with that fresh cooked crab every afternoon. I wouldn't be surprised if Bubba put on weight.
Until the next time,
Jan
