Berryland

It is Sunday morning and I am home resting.  When I woke up yesterday I felt sooooo much better.  We did get to go to Berry.  It was a perfect day weather wise and I had a wonderful time.  We went to the Mountain Day Chapel service…I don’t think I ever went to it as a student…maybe once.  Anyway, it was good.  We heard the new president a little as he introduced others and he was very down to earth and funny. (Bill ran into him later as he was trying to get in a door…Bill said it would cost 5 dollars…they laughed.  Bill had no idea it was the president.) Then we thought it was time for the psychology reunion…but we were misinformed.  So we went to the picnic.  It was a beautiful day.  We enjoyed it so much.  We saw our favorite professor.  He didn’t seem to know us until he saw Hannah then he knew exactly because she looks so much like me at that age.  We were shocked at how well he remembered our personalities…I mean he has had to have thousands of students over the years, I guess we were just memorable :)  We tried to go to the House of Dreams but missed the bus because we were misinformed.  We went to part of the soccer game, the new alumni office and the college bowl reunion. No were weren’t in college bowl, but it was being held near the alumni office and Aaron is in high school quiz bowl so he was interested.  They were competeing between different years and that was funny…so we just watched.  Then a friend of ours called and asked us to come see her freshman daughters dorm room in East Mary.  That brought back tons of memories. ..except now they have air conditioning!  We went by my one of my old rooms in West Mary, then back to the pscyhology reunion…we were misinformed again so no reunion.  Do you get the feeling my source of information was bad?  Anyway, we were in a relaxed mood so all of the misinformation wasn’t a problem.  It was just good to be out somewhere different.  We went to see the new apartments they have built…they look like hotels…very nice.  Then to get dinner at Schroders.  Then back to the talent show which was sold out.  We didn’t want to stay for the 9:00 one so we came on home.  I was exhausted but it was tremedous fun.  I think Hannah and Aaron loved it.  Hannah is sure she wants to go there and Aaron is sure he does not. 

This morning I slept in :)   And now I am sitting in my chair, back to doing nothing…as the doctor ordered.  I feel okay besides the medicine messing with my stomach.  My sores are trying to heal but painful as they rupture over and over to drain.  Yuck, I know.  That is the nicest way I could think to put it.  I think a day or two more and I will be healed up.  At least if I had to get an infection it is on the upswing of my chemo cycle.  My counts are supposed to be going up during this time so we will see.  I don’t know if this will effect my schedule yet or not.  I think it all depends on how well I heal up.  Thanks for your prayers to that effect.

  1. Hang in there friend, sorry for the infection, but the down time will definately take you some where quiet and deep, knowing you. Glad you are resting and just taking it as it comes. Some never learn that one.
    Berry sounded fun! Hannah wants to go to Berry, seems like yesterday it was 1990 and she was born, and we were hanging out with you in that mountain park area…seems like forever that she sat on my lap at the wedding, where I was the bride.
