Back to Work

Tyler and I had the pleasure of spending some of this past weekend with the Hanson's by the pool. Sue and Courtney had gotten some great new outdoor furniture, so we enjoyed the day outside. It was a little warm, but we cooled off by getting in the pool. We grilled burgers, and watched the dogs swim! 

Courtney is back at work for half-days. He continues to regain his strength after surgery, and his incision is healing up nicely. I know he is enjoying getting back into the swing of things. We are thinking his chemo will start around the first of July, allowing his body to heal for the next month. He will then look at options for colon surgery closer to home, which will be nice for all of us. 

We are looking forward  to spending some time this summer with family in Nebraska. It's been a long time since we have been up there. Being on chemo and traveling will be a challenge, but we wouldn't miss it. 

School is about to start back in session for me, so Tyler and Courtney are gearing up for some projects around the house. Actually, Courtney just provides the knowledge, and Tyler is doing the work. They enjoy doing projects together, so it should be fun. Tyler is going to Denton this weekend to make a wood mold of our fireplace hearth. They are going to attempt concrete polishing eventually, which should be awesome if they can pull it off. They usually succeed at whatever they try, so its fun.

I will keep updating as things come along, thanks again for all your prayers and support.

Love,
Ashley

Good Morning! (Guess it's almost noon.) The back to work message is nice. Bet you're really ready for some work routine. We're looking forward to seeing all of you this summer, too. Not a lot new here. Summer projects and goals, but it seems like the list is very long and I always want it done right now once I get fired up. One little project was to put in a new mail box since the old one was taken out by a car! Had Dave, who helps Butch at the bar, do it. I came home that afternoon and it is backwards! Luckily, they are still delivering the mail because the box has a door on both sides. Diana
