HAPPY THANKSGIVING

We want to wish a Happy Thanksgiving to all our family and friends. We hope everyone has a wonderful turkey day.

HAPPY VETERANS DAY

I want to wish all veterans and active duty personnel a Happy Veterans Day. We all enjoy our freedoms because of your service and dedication.

We are currently on a rode trip in Florida. Yesterday we drove down to spend a long weekend with Aunt Laura, Uncle Dave and their dog, cousin Sam. We will be until Monday and then arrive back in South Carolina on Tuesday. We left the RV in South Carolina. We expected warm weather in Florida but this morning we woke up to very cold temps. Tomorrow and Sunday are supposed to be warm. Sam and I are having a great time playing together.

Again, Happy Veterans Day

A Play Date With Kennedy

Yesterday granddaughter Kennedy and her daddy came to the park for a play date with us. It was a wonderful day. Kennedy and I became friends as she finally got brave enough to pet me. I enjoyed that as she is such a sweetheart. She wanted to go to the playground so she drove everyone over there in the Carolina Cruiser. She had fun on the swing and slide. She also amused herself playing with Mom's pumpkins. I guess her Mom and Dad will have to get her a pumpkin for Halloween.

Road Trip

I hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable Labor Day weekend. Friday night Mom and Dad had dinner with granddaughter Kennedy and her parents at Johnnie Rockets. They played video games with Kennedy at Frankies Fun Park. Dad was feeling good so we went to Conway-Myrtle Beach area and spent a couple of days with son Dave and his wife Pat. I had fun but was also intimidated by a couple of their dogs. The weather was gorgeous so we spent a lot of time outdoors. It was great seeing Dave and Pat again. Sunday we all celebrated Mom's birthday. My birthday is Sept 9th.

Yesterday afternoon we left Conway and drove to Columbia, SC so Dad could get blood work done in anticipation of his last scheduled chemo treatment this morning. After his treatment, we came back home to Fair Play. Dad has a CAT Scan scheduled for Sept 20th and then an appointment with his doctor on Sept 27th. Hopefully it will be a good report.

We had a fun weekend but it is nice to be back home.

"CAROLINA CRUISER"

Hey folks, I now have a new ride, a "Carolina Cruiser". Mom and Dad got the golf cart last Friday so we can now cruise the park to visit all of our friends. We are having a blast riding around in it. It sure is a pretty ride. If you are in the area of Carolina Landing, stop by and let me take you for a spin.

Dad has now finished his radiation treatments and his second batch of chemo treatments. He goes for a CT scan on August 4th to see what progress he has made. During his first batch of chemo treatments when he lost his hair, it grew back brown and gray. With his second batch he lost his hair again but now it is growing back white. This time he also lost his beard.

We are anxiously awaiting some company later this week. Dad's sister Laura and her husband Dave are coming for a visit. They are also bringing their dog "Sam" so I will have someone to play with. I am looking forward to taking Sam for a ride in my "Carolina Cruiser".

HAPPY 4th

I want to wish all my friends and family a Happy 4th of July as we celebrate America's birthday. We hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday. We have no special plans for the holiday but will do some grilling out. Last evening the park we are at had a nice fireworks show. We were able to view it from our trailer. Today we will be watching the golf cart parade.

HAPPY 4th

Granddaughter's First Birthday

Hello Friends, sorry I haven't posted in quite awhile. We haven't done much since Dad is still undergoing treatments. Last Saturday Mom and Dad went to a birthday party to celebrate granddaughter Kennedy's first birthday. It doesn't seem possible that she is already a year old. She is so adorable, unfortunately she is not real fond of me. I really do want to play with her. This evening she and her daddy came to our place for a hamburger cookout. She had to checkout Grandma's fridge before she helped Grandpa do the grilling. She was real tired so they didn't stay long.

Like I mentioned earlier, Dad is still undergoing his treatments. He has radiation treatments every day in Anderson, SC, which is close by. However, once a week we have to go to Columbia, SC for his chemo treatment. We go down and spend the night since his treatment starts so early in the morning. The doctor told Dad yesterday that the treatments are working as the tumor is shrinking. That's great news.

Lenny is no longer part of our family. Some people with kids and room to run expressed interest in him. Since Dad is weak from his treatments and doesn't have the strength to control him, Mom and Dad thought is best to let him go to a new family. We miss him but know he is happy with his new family.
