Our Latest News

Hi there - it's so hard to believe that we're already part way through March! Soon many of you will be out swinging your golf clubs and we'll be looking forward to more sunny days on the Cinnamon Girl. The Big Guy is determined to catch more salmon and fill up our freezer again. He is becoming quite the seafood/fish gourmet cook and enjoys spending time in the kitchen - definitely something I have to get used to!

Dallas continues to fight this darn cancer thing with all the energy he can muster. He has been having a difficult time with his balance (he calls it feeling "loopy") for a few weeks now and we are all worried about him falling. Since the cancer has metastasized to Dallas's bones a fall could be very debilitating and he's had a few close calls. On our visit with Peter this week he recommended an assessment by an Occupational Therapist. The OT will visit our home and come up with a plan to help Dallas with his mobility issues and he'll be fitted for a cane. As always, my Big Guy is upbeat and positive about the changes. Marcus pointed out that having a cane will really help Dallas get back to being the active guy he likes to be. We feel so fortunate to have both boys in the same city again and are spending as much family time together as possible. It has been so wonderful to have Jordan back home with us - he has lifted a huge weight off both our shoulders.

Thanks so much for your emails and calls - I apologize for being so slow getting back to you. Please know that even if you don't get a response from us right away we appreciate your thoughtfulness so much! More later...

Love, Patty
