Am I happy!! The Mets won 3 games at Shea against the Yankees. Won 4 of out 5 games & 2 were shipping the Yankees. They only bad thing they were only on TV Fri nite. Fox had the 2 Chicago teams on Sat. & when rain interrupted they switched to N.Y. so we saw parts of the game & luckily the conclusion. Today I watched the Braves-Philly game & they showed scores at intervals so I knew what was happening.
Barb is doing better. Hopes to go to Bert's tomorrow. She said the lump is shrinking already. Hope that means good news. It's a tough thing to go thru.
I mentioned they had a potluck at work so that made Dale think they'd get Fri. off. He was mistaken. They don't even get Mon, tomorrow, off but they get paid for today. He has a 10:30 A.M. Dr. appt. tomorrow. They get time off for that. I'm sure glad he continues to see the Dr. The rolls went over big, even with carb diets. Dale put $20.00 on my dresser for making the rolls. He asked me how much I wanted. I said nothing because he does a lot around the house & yard. Now he's working on a leak in the basement under the stairs. Facing north.
Turned on the A.C. this aft. It was very muggy outside. Might as well use it & be comfortable.
Lynn called Barb this aft. & so did Bert who is in NYC. She'll be home the 12th. Her ankles are swelling so she is uncomfortable. Bert didn't want to leave Warren, but her niece pushed her to go & Bert can't say no.
Our pastor was on vacation this past week. Ray Forstrum preached today. He is recovering from a kidney ailment. He made a couple of mental errors but that happens as a retired pastor grows older. Doug Decker was in church today. He looks good & he is in the Atlanta area.
Mon. July 5
Dale will take a week's vacation this month & then he'll get a blood test. He will have to fast as the Dr. wants to check his cholesterol. I never realized how much the blood can tell a Dr. Not until I started having to get blood tests.
Did Andy enjoy his umpiring? Seeing the game from a different angle.
While watching the Braves yesterday, one of the announcers said Chipper Jones has never missed the playoffs -- since Little League. My heart bleeds for him!!! Ha! Ha! They won't do it this year. It's a cycle & they've been in the good cycle for a long time. Hard to tell who will be on top. The Astros are a disappointment. The N.L. East isn't that good this year. The Mets finally have a good outfield. They hit against the Yankees & I hope they keep it up. They "out homered" the Yankees & that's pretty good. I'm not biased at all!
Tues July 6
Barb had to see the Dr. today but she didn't feel up to going. She called them & they said it is necessary to test her blood. (She wanted to call you tonite to tell you about it but I said you work Tues. nites.) So she went & I went with her as we were going grocery shopping afterwards. The new cancer center is really nice. It turned out Barb was glad she went. When the Dr. examined her, she was amazed! The tumor had been reduced 50%. Barb thought it felt smaller. T hose at the Cancer Center said kemo would never make it smaller & it should be removed. We are all elated. I called Gen & Millie to let them know as both are concerned. When we got home Barb called Lynn & Bert & they were happy. She was there 1 1/2 hrs & was concerned as I waited for her. I talked to a woman who was waiting for a ride home, so the time went fast. Just hearing the good news made Barb feel better. And getting out helped as well.
Thursday
Lar & Kim are going to a soccer game the end of the month with Dr. Jay & Nancy. Kim wanted to know the date & Lar couldn't find the tickets. (Nancy has them.) So he started to search thru his dresser drawers. He didn't find the tickets but he found $500.00 he had squirreled away. He couldn't remember putting it there. He also has money in their attic (apt) with the flying squirrels. Kim wont' go near the squirrels. She made almost $200.00 on her garage sale. There were 4 of them & together they took in $700.00.
