Earlier in the week Graham and I were talking about our party on Saturday and I asked him what he thought that his friends would like to do when they were here. He thought a minute and suggested a couple of things...one being playing with some of the things under the stairs. We have a closet in the living room under the stairs where we keep the toys for the grandchildren and other children who visit us. Graham immediately went and looked in the closet. He then said: "Grammy, I could come over and clean up the toy closet later in the week." What a sweet boy! So I took him up on his offer this afternoon. He went right to it and did a great job. Some time ago, I sort of assigned him the job of vacuuming our stairs with the hand vac periodically...so he did that job too. Then after that I found Woody's laser level and we straightened the pictures on the stairs. These pictures get bumped by elbows big and little...but the main problem is the periodic sonic booms that we get that shake the whole house. We had a sonic boom earlier in the week...so probably they will stay straight at least till the next boom or the next elbow! I am still in "getting ready for company" mode...but not sure what we have in store for us weather-wise...predictions of ice and snow for tomorrow and tomorrow night and into Saturday. I know that nine of us can gather easily (since we live next door to each other)...without risking getting out on the roads...but the other ten don't live quite so near. So we are in a "wait and see what God has in store for us weather-wise" mode! But till we know for sure what the weather is going to do, I continue to get ready. Let's say, that if we get snowed/iced-in, we shouldn't go hungry!
Woody got up early, went to work, walked at lunch, worked some more, came home and has been relaxing this evening with the TV and a book. We just had an interesting automated call from Vanderbilt about this coming Tuesday's appointment. The gentleman's voice tells us what day and times our appointments are and who the appointments are with...they first said that Woody had an oncology lab appointment...yes, knew that...then he says that Woody has an appointment with Dr. Igor Puzanov...WHO??????? Well, I sort of remember hearing that name connected with Dr. Sosman...so guess either Dr. Sosman is going to be away...or he is extra busy that day (I think it is the latter). At least Woody will be seen by someone with authority to make decisions as to whether he continues with the drug study. I did look this doctor up on the internet and he is the doctor who has authored several papers with Dr. Sosman about their Melanoma research. I'm sure that we will be in good hands...and we will have one of the research nurses who will know what is going on also!
