Boo!


Took this photo at a house I pass on my daily walks and runs. They actually have lots of cool halloween stuff in their yard and around their house, but I couldn't get a good photo of it all. Everything was just a bit too spread out to capture with a photo, and it was late afternoon when I took this, so the light was getting kind of shadowy.

I'm about to head to Asheville for the w-e to see the leaves and enjoy the house one last time before starting chemo again next week. I'll see Dr Long on Monday so that we can discuss politics (he's for Obama too), and he can listen to my heart and lungs before I head into the hospital on Tuesday morning for chemo again. I feel lucky to be able to see the mountain leaves at or near their peak before I have to go in again.

I had a really nice run this morning. It is brisk but beautiful here as the yellow trees catch the morning, autumn light. We had a light frost last night too, but it has already warmed up to 50 degrees, with a clear blue sky. A nice day to drive and see the leaves along the way.

My sister Becky sent me the cutest picture this morning of her dogs all curled up on the sofa in her new house. If I knew how to transfer the photo pix from my cellphone to my computer, I'd share it with you. Maybe Marty or Sandy can inform me on how to do that.

Not sure if I'll write this w-e or not, but I'll take my computer just in case. It makes my Mom nervous when I don't write in the blog. Thanks for loving me that much.

Just e-mail it to you- the pic; there should be an option for this with the 'message' function...

Happy Halloween

TRee,
I've been super busy lately and not online as much as I'd like to read or respond to your blog. I took the day off today; enjoyed the outdoors with 2 walks with Ely along with some personal chores.
Glad you all will be able to see the leaves and visit Asheville before your last round of chemo! I hope it's a great weekend! Laurie and I had thought we'd ask you and Holly to go for a hike on Sunday morning. We'll see how you feel on another weekend for this.
Sending you warm thoughts and lots of positive energy.
Love, Julia
