July 16 at Barbara's

Fabulous! We'll save Pastel then. (Cheryl I just realized that we had
planned it at Pastel on that day but we'll save your location!) For
those who have been to Barb's, she has a lovely home on a lake off Evans
to Locks. The last time she hosted, we drifted onto the dock at sunset.
Beautiful.

I'm copying WBA. Hey y'all - as I climbed onto an elliptical machine at
the Y this morning, who climbed next to me? None other than Barb!

So here's the word up on the Y: there's a great class at 8:30 in the
a.m. on Saturday, a Zumba and a yoga in the small room at 9:45 a.m., and
a fabulous weight class at 3 pm on Sunday.

I'm not sure which of the three I'll go to but I hope I see you at one
of them. (I've actually done all three but that's far from typical!)

Maybe I'll see you at the Bistro tonight...I'm on my way!

Yesterday all our troubles seemed so far away -

As we sat by the pool and shared stories.

I didn't get the Deborah's till around six as I was visiting with a client. My cell phone rang twice with questions from two different people asking for the locations of Deborah's house and when I got there….

Neither of them were there. But there weren't any cars in the front of her house, so it did look odd, till I spied Mary's red truck parked in the back by the pool.

Deborah's daughter directed me to the kitchen door. Deborah Klassen (the hostess), Mary Schroer, Karen Hill, Brenda Durant and Pat Moss were standing around the island in the kitchen. Deborah poured me a glass of wine, and before long we were joined by other latecomers: Sharon Johnston, Barb Meeks, Linda Henderson, and Sallie Metzel.

Great discussions and company. Thanks to Deborah for having us! There were three or four with suits under coverups, but no one ventured into the pool.

No one has offered to host for July yet. However, Cheryl has assured me that Pastel is always a backup.

Laura DiSano has suggested a directory of WBAers. Anyone interested in running with this?

Carolyn is apparently doing better, slowly. She's still in ICU but hopefully getting out next week.

Betts had offered to bring meals (for 4) on Saturday, the 21st.
Nancy on Monday the 23rd
Samm on Friday the 27th

As a reminder, their home number is 706-651-9067. Please call for times to drop off; Dennis is generally home after 6:30 pm. Their address is 3760 Evans to Locks Rd.


Happy Friday!

Sandy

Yesterday's Tomorrow post

I've heard from at least a third of our email distribution, and if you have responded, thank you so much. Despite the fact that we have more regrets than "I'd be delighted to accept" responses, we have a dozen who plan to be there, and several more who might.

Laurie Adams reminded me that I should remind you - Deborah's got a pool and you are welcome to swim if you so desire.

Yeses from Sharon, Mary, Marla, Karen, Barbara, Brenda, Laurie, Linnie, Susan and me. Maybes from Karin, Magda, Gail and Rebekah. Gail will bring Casey's children, Aiden and Gabby, if she has help with Casey. Magda and Rebekah have dinner plans to celebrate Rebekah's birthday (that's today, Happy Birthday Rebekah!!!) but I do hope they can stop by beforehand.

I got an update from Becky on Carolyn, below.

Thank you for letting me know you’re still praying. I know it’s what my mom needs most.
CAT scan: No change, really. It's a good possibility it will be 4 weeks before the clots go down.
Good Things:
-Fever 99.6 - only low grade
-ICP good - tube monitoring it in the middle of her brain probably can come out tomorrow
-Doctors were considering her "severe". Now considering her "moderate."
-Collar bone is cracked, not broken.
Doctors plan to insert a filter to prevent blood clots in veins/arteries going to heart/lungs/etc. - probably tomorrow.
She will be in ICU at least this week.
Neuro exam: She moves and opens eyes in response to pain. She is not following commands (it could be due to the fact the blood clot is in the communication area of the brain)

My dad was still hoping until today that my mom could go on the family vacation to Indiana planned for the middle of July. He is now realizing that probably won't happen and is bummed.

Please keep praying! I was really hoping she'd be responding more. It's so hard to wait.
Becky

Deborah Klassen offered her pool as a proxy for Kay's. Mark your calendar for her house on June 19, 2636 Walton Way, brick three story in the block of Walton Way toward ASU from Highland. As with Kay's invitation, bring your suit if you want to swim!

Thanks much to Cheryl who offered Pastel - she's going to host on July 16.
