Catch you up

 Sorry about the missing days. I've been having some back pain and going to bed early.

 Anne has been to the hospital the past two Mondays for her all-day infusion with radiation. The other days, she takes herself to the radiation treatments. The only side-effect so far is fatigue. She feels bad about not being able to do all the things she used to, but this will all be over in a couple of months. Then it will be past us and we can get back to living large!

 John and Jannie's visit was highly enjoyable. Lady loved the company nearly as much as we did. Apparently, there's either a contest to see who can spoil her the most or some conspiracy to make her an official Wick sibling! If this continues, we may never be able to train her as the killer guard dog we'd hoped for. Hahaha...

 On Monday we all visited Anne in her room at Renown, mid-day. After work I went by again and, after a few hours of chatting, John, Jannie and I went to El Rincon Salvadoreno Restaurant where we had a very nice meal. We ordered a couple of side dishes, papusas and something else (sorry, "old-timer's"), for appetizers before the main course.

 Then I had the Chile Relleno and John shared some Chile Verde with Jannie. The Chile Verde had the largest chunks of pork I'd ever seen in it. Usually it's made with shredded pork, but these were 1-1.5" cubes and covered about 1/3 of the plate! The waitress offered to bring us some in-house salsa that was very good and we ate most of it by the time we were done.

Tuesday morning seemed to come too soon and I headed to work while John and Jannie packed for the trip home. They went by to see Anne and gave her a ride home before heading out. I swear, when I got home yesterday Lady was disappointed that I was alone. She'd gotten as attached to John and Jannie as she did to Jim and Bob when they were here. I can't wait to see the look on her face when Cheeze and Dan show up this Saturday. Let the spoilin' begin!

 Alas, the season is over for Logan's soccer team. It was a very disappointing loss tonight. After such a brilliant season, it was disheartening to see those boys that had done so well get shut out in the end. We're looking forward to next year when they'll have a bit more stamina and be able to carry their winnings into the championships! Go Bombers!

 Justus is still doing his best to get back up to his old self. He felt well enough today to have practice with the Water Warriors, James' soccer team. Although, when you see him on the sidelines or talk to him on the phone, it's obvious that something just isn't right. So, keep sending him your prayers and best wishes for a speedy recovery!

 Love the one you're with and don't let a day go by without saying "I love you!"
Don and Anne
