The past week

The past week, Monday, we drove to New Hampshire to see our friend Anne. She had had surgery on her lung to remove a cancerous growth. It was great seeing her and found out later in the week that there was no cancer in her lymph nodes and the doctors feel they got it all.

We took the train on Wednesday to Boston with Norene. After lunch she was able to make a connection to the airport to catch a plane home to Florida. We went back to Becket.

Sunday, on Labor Day weekend we had a surprise birthday party for Alan’s 30th, over at Bambi and Jim’s house. It has been great to be able to spend more time with the family this year.

Monday we spent time with Joan and Earl. Joan was generous with her garden produce. Can’t wait to make cucumber and tomato salads. It has poured rain from this afternoon into the evening. Hope the rivers and streams have had time to abate to handle the additional water. We heard that Mark has to evacuate the camp grounds again. Roads are flooding. Let's see if we can drag some of this rain to Texas.
Spoke to Ellen in Austin and Joan and Frank in Leander, both have the fires close to them.

We will be leaving the New England area and will be heading towards home on Wednesday. There are friends we are going to try and see on the way home. They live in New Jersey and North Carolina.
