Day 1395: Purple mums

Another trip to Roswell today yielded mostly good news for Mary.  Chemo is unlikely, although they want to do one more test before they make the determination.  That means.... more waiting. Looks like the radiation will go on through the winter.

While traveling, the three of us were enumerating the good things that have come out of this illness.  Most important of all, we've spent a lot more time together and had lots of great conversations.  Some have been serious and thought provoking, but others have been joyous and funny.  We love each other and this has given us an opportunity to really appreciate each other.  I have two sisters by one mother and another sister from another mother.

I spent a couple more hours working on the book and organizing my materials.  One of the chapters I've added to the list will discuss satellite programs.  There's a section in one of the history chapters where I talk about the expansion of Quest to neighboring schools.  My group said it didn't belong there and they were right as always.  I realized that it was important to offer guidance on the steps necessary for additional schools to join an established program.  So, that has to be done too.

We took another four mile walk on this gorgeous, sunny day.  Such a lovely autumn!  But tomorrow night, the remnants of Hurricane Patricia are going to sweep through with high winds and rain.  That will certainly blow away most of the leaves.
