Saturday...August 15th...2010

Good day today...Linda is amazed at how good it feels to feel good.....she actually forgets to take her blood pressure as there is no body warning her to do so....and that is good.... she has a cough that is increasing..most likely caused by the tumor in the left airway...it still is worriesome though.

Daughter Janine visited in the am and in the afternoon we went up the hill above Wilsonville to visit some great folks...Shari and John.....we had a wonderful time relaxing and then wandering around to see their treasures that John has created....they are authoring their 4th book together and gave Linda a copy of their 3rd book.....

Work on the house involved getting the fireplace ready for tiling...and then cutting and laying the tumbled travertine for the hearth.....doesn't sound like much but at 7 dollars a tile, one doesn't want to make too many mistakes...none were made. Tomorrow we start opn the face of the fireplace using 3 by 6 tumbled travertine tile....Linda will be very much involved as this is her specialty...

We hope to see friend Claudia stop by tomorrow to share her recent travels and all. Monday we leave for Seattle by train with grand daughter Jillian and then on to Victoria by boat. in two weeks we will be back at it and push to have all done..and have visits (we note those West Salem folks who we would love to see on our door step)...
