The snow storm changed the view from my kitchen.
We've been home for some time now and celebrated both
Robert's birthday and Connie's.
Last week, on Tuesday the 26th we had a major snow storm.
Salina had about 8 inches of wet snow. The power was out
for some time, but we didn't notice because of our Solar.
The schools were closed in Longmont, but I don't think
they were closed in Boulder.
Robert and I celebrated his birthday on Friday, the 28th which
is his birth day. I baked two cakes, one for his b-day and
one for Connie's.
On Saturday Carl and family and Connie and Greg showed up to
celebrate Connie's birthday. I made stuffed lamb and fixin's
Connie brought lasagna because she knows that is Robert's
favorite. We had a lovely celebration and ate way too much.
Connie left most of the left over lasagna for Robert and went
home with her b-day cake (I'd baked two). We had a very
pleasant evening, but I found I really can't produce a perfect
gourmet dinner. I am too easily distracted, but everyone was
kind and we had a good time. I shall not try to do a fancy
gourmet dinner for more than four again.
Again this week we have had another major snow storm. Last
week's storm produced 8 inches of snow here. This one measured
9 plus inches.
Our snow blower was not working yet. Robert has been working
on it and taken at least a wheel barrow of mud and debris
from it's innards. In the process developed red eye again.
I'm sure there is bad stuff in the barn. I wish we could
avoid going in there all together. I spend very little time
in there and my red-eye has not returned. Robert's has.
Tuesday, November 2, 2011 Robert and I spent the day at the
VA hospital in Denver. The outcome was that Robert has started
chemo therapy. He takes 12 pills all at once. He took his first
dose on Tuesday and so far feels no affects from them. He claims
they must be placebos. In any case, he'll take 12 more on the
14th and then we'll see the oncologist again on the 29th and
he'll probably take 12 more. How long this will go on we don't
yet know nor do we know whether this means we go to see the
Oncologist every four weeks. I rather expect we shall.
