Updates and pics

Rainy and cooler in Indiana today , didn't hit the lottery so I can't just go back south, uuuuggggghhhh.

Very nice in and around the Smokey mountains.  Spent Monday in Cades Cove, saw wild turkeys ( just a few days left boys ) and a wild bear.  Yes, I was out in the open with this bear, no fences in between, just about 35 other people doing the same thing ( taking a picture ).  Yes, the bear could have charged us at any moment, but I just have to out run the slowest person there.  The bear was digging the ground behind a fallen tree, either looking for food or digging a trench for hibernation.  For the most part he didn't notice us people, or could care less.

This next picture is of another wild thing playing on another fallen tree.

The next picture is just of the area in a manner similar to 1810.

We ( the babe and her sister babe ) took a picnic lunch and had a very nice time.  We drove into and through Gatlinburg and made one stop in Pigeon Forge before heading home. 

Her sister is having knee replacement surgery on Monday, Oct. 31, and she didn't want to leave the car is the reason that we didn't really stop other than to eat the picnic.  Please remember her in your prayers as well as others in our lives.

Tomorrow, chemo again......back to reality.

Next CT scan is Nov.9 to check on growth, or stoppage of the cancer spread.  Nov, 11 for results of CT scan and next Dr.'s appt.  The blood work numbers I gave last Fri. were wrong, the printed sheet I was given was a duplicate of the test on 10/14.  So I will get the correct numbers and the newest numbers tomorrow.

Thanks again for reading and keeping up with my progress, God Bless, Captain
