Hi everyone...we had a great few days in Palm Springs. We had a wonderful visit with our hosts, Anne and Brian O'Leary. They are such an inspiration to us - Brian finished his leukemia treatments several months ago and hasn't looked back.
We were also lucky enough to be able to squeeze in an evening with some of our gang from the valley. Ed and Sharon Wiens were kind enough to host an evening so that we could catch up with Bob & Diane Powers, Vern and Cheryl Thomas, Al and Leann Wittke and Jan and Dexter Lindsay. It was such a great vacation - thanks so much you guys! Our days flew by too fast! Hopefully, we'll be able to join you down there next year.
Our big vacation news is that Dallas managed a couple of rounds of golf with Brian on the last two days of our stay there. It was a total surprise to both of us . One evening Dallas was becoming bored watching the golfers go by. The next thing I know my guy is picking up a club and taking a few practice swings. I was sitting on the sidelines watching him with happy tears streaming down my face. We didn't really think that Dallas would be able to golf again so this was such a gift. Dallas has been in a lot of pain since then but at least there's hope that his golf career isn't over.
This week will be a busy one - we're going over to the Vancouver Cancer Clinic for an appointment with the cancer researcher. We're hopeful that he'll have some answers, or at least some suggestions for us about Dallas's treatment.
Everyone, please know that your emails, calls and support continue to help us through our days - thanks so much for keeping us close in thought. Fred, Sandy, Conner and Caitlin - thank you so much for your cards, notes and constant prayers - all the way from California. Conner, this year Dallas promises that you're going to catch that salmon!
More later...
Love, Patty & Dallas

Good luck on the mainland keep the blog posted.
Hey you two: What a power couple you are. I think the score is 'no down - two to go!"
Your time away sounds wonderful. I am so pleased for you. I hope it charged you up enough for the next bit of work you have ahead of you.
We'll both be there about the 27th. Hopefully we can get together - even just for a few minutes.
Love you both and I hope the week brings some positive answers.
Bev (& George)
