Several followers have wondered when the next update to the blog. Well there is not much new to add. Still feeling surprisingly well. The double dose of chemo-therapy was just completed last week. It takes about three days after the week's treatment to overcome the somewhat unpleasant side effects. The hairstyle is slowly growing back. In Church recently one good brother publicly commented that he wondered what Jeff Morrow was doing with his hairstyle. No more hats - seems a bit of sun on that bald head encourages the hair to grow. Tell us what you think - Hat or No Hat? The most difficult of the side effects is a sense of weariness --- a nap after lunch-time helps a great deal. There have been several alternative treatments that seem to offer some significant positive possibilities - each one needing some study and some are very expensive. It is a shame to miss out on legitimate treatments but there is a limit to our financial resources. In the meantime, it is still necessary to try to regain the function of earning a living. The real estate market is still very soft and hiring is not really in high gear - but nevertheless we still need to keep at it. Oh, one wonderful new event --- our daughter, Jessica and her husband John Gardner and their two children, Lizzy and Thomas have moved back here to SLC from Virginia.
Interestingly, they moved into a home right next door to the home my family purchased when we first moved to SLC nearly 50 years ago. We are grateful to have them here and enjoy being with them. Last week we had Lizzy and Thomas in the back seat and I made a sudden stop and cute Lizzy said, "Nice stop, papa!"
As you can see, we are enjoying our life and doing what we can to keep productive and happy. We are looking forward to visiting Russell and his family next month. They are still in the DC Area. We miss those little girls, Jayne and Reagan, and wish we were with them at Disneyworld.
Thanks for all the kind messages we receive. We enjoy reviewing them very much.
Tally two votes for the "No Hat." You look great! Very...distinguished ;) Lizzy is so cute - I'm glad I got to meet them. I can just picture her saying that.

ReplyDeleteIt is so good to see you looking like your "old self" again, even with no hair you are a handsome man, President. I know Teri thinks so. We love you both and keep you in our prayers.
ReplyDeleteMy mother just found out in May that she had breat cancer and had a breast removed in August. She is on a pill, but seems to be doing really well. Take care and know we love you.
