Happy Marine Corp Birthday! My Dad called us at 8:00 this morning (9:00 ET) and was awake, pretty happy, and alert. I never hear from him that early and at first thought something must be wrong - because that is the kind of person I am - always the worrier! Instead, he was ready to tackle and celebrate his day. Ran talked to him a bit later in the day and was caught off guard by the closing OHH-RAH. His ooh-rah response back was a bit weak and dare I say. . sounded like it came from corpsman!
Today Super Hero Radiation resulted in a little bit of a sore throat. It's to be expected though - a 'sun'burned throat can't be all that comfortable. This did not, however, affect his appetite. Donuts, pumpkin pie, milk, and cookies (and that was just breakfast!)
We worked at "home" today and Walace, our new entertainment at the Hope House, cooked lunch for all of us. It was amazing. Really. Oh - my- goodness - good. Randy drove LeeAnn to the renew her Truck Drivers License since it will expire shortly and she is headed straight for CA when done with treatments. Unfortunately, she needed a Birth Certificate and has to devise a new plan. I continued to grade while Randy blogged and hung out in the lounge. He was a little tired today, didn't sleep as well as you would expect and also hadn't napped ;) We laid down for about 6:00 for 30 minutes or so to "rest our eyes" as Pop-pop would say, and then went to pick up a few cards.
Speaking of cards, Randy has received mail both yesterday and today and I can't quite explain his glow. Lots of love coming to him from the Crowder family, our creek family and our actual family! The cards, the cookbook and books, the letters, the care packages - reiterate that we have a million blessings to count each day. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Good-night.
