News

As I look back on my postings, I realized that I better update a couple things.
First, We got pretty good news about my mom. The pathology on her lymph node came up negative, which means that it doesn't look like it has metastasized yet. The mass on her arm was large enough though that we'll have to keep an eye on it. But that was good news for her.

Second, we finally were able to talk to Brian. He was calling from Cuba yesterday to let us know he was alright. He has been around Haiti and Cuba the last weeks dodging Hurricanes. For the last week he was on the Great Inagua Island near Cuba helping the people out: Repairing generators, repairing water purifying systems, cutting down and removing trees from homes and fixing electric lines. He said it was alot of work but a good experience. Today his ship was heading towards the waters around Miami, to be back in Wilmington, NC the end of September.

An Anniversary Getaway with my Best Friend!

Mike and I took a little trip last weekend, to celebrate our 34th anniversary which is actually tomorrow, 9/21. We wanted to check out the little town of Bayfield, Wisc and the Apostle Islands. What a beautiful area, kind of reminded us of Grand Marais. We stayed in a little Bed and Breakfast. 'Took a ferry over to Madeline Island and rode bikes around the island, the last picture is in a state park on the island. It was a very relaxing trip.



St Louis

I'm FINALLY getting around to updating my blog! Over Labor Day Mike, Karen and I took a quick 4day trip to St Louis. 'Had to see the new addition "Joel Brian Bindewald." It was a great visit...so good to see everyone and spoil the kids a little, But, we already missed them by the time we got home.
