LOTS HAS HAPPENED

LOTS HAS HAPPENED SINCE MY LAST POST...mostly positive.

Good news first -

We've made some new friends,

     my garden is growing well,

         another granddaughter on the way - due in September (Rachel & Trevor),

              and, after 3 and 1/2 years - the tremor that plagued my right hand is still gone! 

Bad News:  walking and balance are becoming an issue, as well as being able to speak.

Good News:  I have a programming session scheduled at Stanford on Monday that should resolve those.

Friends:  We had a nice lunch with Tom & Jackie from our local Parkinson's Support Group.  I really like them.  Tom had DBS a few years back, and it's good to be with others to compare notes.

Garden:  Everything in pots - no dirt in the back "yard"... but they're growing well, tomatoes, cukes, basil, zucchini, rosemary, kale, brussel sprouts, and other edibles keep me busy.

Granddaughter:  Last I heard, her name is Olivia Lynne, aka Vida's little sister.  Our Miracle Girl - Rachel didn't think she could have any more kids after her massive cancer treatments, but Ta Dah!  We're excited!!!

REALLY GOOD NEWS:  I'm heading to Alaska again!  Fishing, Family & Friends.  Can't beat it - salmon fishing at it's best.
