He has gone to our usual coffee date the past four Saturday mornings. (The past two times our dear Pam Cogswell has provided transport in her van)
In addition he has gone out for dinner twice in the neighborhood to places he can roll to.
We seem to be in a good holding pattern for now with the cancer and intend to enjoy every second. Dale still loves visitors when he is awake. It is ok to stop by - maybe just give a call first to be sure. We will be on Wygant until nest Saturday (9/21). Then at 1718 NE 11th Ave. #306. Same phone numbers.
Other changes that have come our way pretty fast:
• House sold/new sewer and chimney work done/packing like mad for move in (yikes) one week
• Had to move Georgie (my mom) from regular assisted living to memory care with short notice. Almost done with that one thanks to a great amount of help from friends.
• Mark made an offer on a house with a HUGE yard in Milwaukee and it was accepted
• Jimmy got a new job in the Evergreen District at Sifton Elementary - started last Tuesday and wife Gretchen made a big switch after teaching grade 5 for at least 10 years - she is now working in an exciting team situation with second graders.
Meg and Jeremy are keeping Viking Soul Food going three days a week (Thurs - Sat) and it is going well and still allowing lots of time to hang out with the Dale.
The big change coming next week will be an adjustment from living for 12 years in this wonderful house with fenced yard for Ozzie and Harry to a third floor condo with a modest deck. Someone is going to be doing quite a bit of dog walking.
Our blog and Walhood Support Team needs will be updated sometime today. If you have any problems with the sign ups email me. We are suspending meal deliveries for a bit until the new kitchen is up and running.
Thanks for all of your thoughts, prayers and hours and hours of help.
-Love to you all-
