Oct 6 - another birthday down

We happened to hit Reading on Oct 6th, so Sandy was treated to a birthday cake and some wonderful "Nana" presents.  For a brief period Sandy is another year older than me and then I partly catch up in December :).  Since Sandy doesn't have her own Facebook account, preferring to "lurk" on mine (aka ours), she doesn't get the barrage of FB well wishes.  Perhaps I should change the birthdate on the account to hers and all those messages will arrive in Oct next year ? 

We visited for a couple of hours with Doris and Wayne Guymon.  Doris was up and talkative but not very strong.  She's on yet another dose of chemo and that takes a whack at you.  She's been fighting this for a long, long time and they have to keep adapting the meds as the disease keeps adapting.  It's like a "superbug" at this point.  It'll never completely go away but we can hope for some sort of maintenance regimen.

From there it was on to see Sara, Zoe, Emma, Jeffrey and Matthew (the order that we saw everyone).  Oh yes, I forgot Esther ... We'll be here for one full day, Saturday, and then continue our drive south tomorrow; the plan is to get south of Richmond and then strike for NSB on Monday.  I was just playing with routes and dates ... there is an alternative but that would depend on Bill and Collette ... and that wouldn't get us down there until Wednesday; it's too long a drive from Accomac VA to NSB in one shot.  Well, I would do it but Sandy doesn't want that long a day in the car and it's tough arriving late.

We shall see.  I'll have to ponder that.  Getting there Wednesday would mean that we've had a week on the road ... ugh.

If we did see B&C that would certainly make this a visitation trip.  We also tried to see Stef on the way; called her twice, but there was no answer at their house.  We guessed that she was out with her new car but haven't talked to her.

Onward.
