Heat Continues, 93 at 8:16 pm


Heat index reached 106 according to one source. But they say cooling is mercifully coming.

Heat Is Suffocating (94 at 10:28 am)


Heat and humidity has our heat index at 94 before 10:30. I have tried to go out at 9 or later to walk this week and the unbreathable air is still in the 90s (index). We have another heat warning out today.

Hearing From Dick & Melba

Melba is always so thoughtful. Peggy's cousin has sent her goodies throughout Peggy's cancer trial. A box arrived Saturday. Since Dick & Melba are traveling, they also keep us in postcards indicating where they are. Here are the last 2 we received.

Another recent shot from Lake Taneycomo. I was disappointed that I didn't get a sharper image of this majestic raptor.

Peggy Rings the Bell!


After months of treatment, Peggy rings the bell in the Hulston Cancer Center three times, signifying she has just completed her last treatment. Yahoo!

Still some stuff to come, including a trip back to the cancer center tomorrow for a shot, but she's had the last of the poison. Now a month and a half to get it out, then 6 weeks of radiation.

Peggy's Chemo Session #7

We are here right now. This has been the hardest of all it seems ... just to go to. The time is dragging by and the cumulative affects of the chemo have been hard on my girl. She doesn't complain much ... she is so up-beat with other people. The end is approaching. Peggy gets to ring the no-more-chemo bell in 2 weeks!
