Coincidentally, Kathy and I are also celebrating our anniversary today.  We were married in 1996, just before I retired from the CG. 

For the location, we chose one of our favorite historical sites, Oak Alley Plantation, along the Mississippi River between New Orleans and Baton Rouge.  It's noted for the quarter mile of overarching giant live oak trees, believed to be nearly 300 years old: http://www.oakalleyplantation.org/photo-gallery

So, we decided to invite our families and take our vows in front of the main entrance beneath the canopy of live oaks (from Kathy's FB page): https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=2398908340119940&set=a.101154186562045&type=3&eid=ARA0OUdktVGdgcwQbSA-3w0iHEpqAMj12IZzjOGupZprB7akH2P7Hdo6CQJIjD36DWQ0eY XvcYGvScJV

H a p p y  n r ay  to Alvin & Diane Rogersmarried on this date in 2011. 

Alvin previously posted here: “My niece was going to get married in Vegas, so Diane and I decided that was just as good a time as any.  So upon arrival in Las Vegas we picked up our marriage certificate and went to the Little White Chapel and had the drive through ceremony.  By the way my niece's ceremony was at the Viva Las Vegas Chapel and an Elvis impersonator performed her ceremony, really a fun wedding.” 

Congratulations and best wishes for many more celebrations!

Place: Update on Eileen Sandefer

Comments:
Many thanks to Judy Carpenter for sending me update on Eileen.  She is in Texoma Medical in Denison.  She still can't talk but is able to eat.  But she has difficulty with movement on her right side.  Will be going to a rehab unit on Mon or Tue.  Will be long road but she can do it.  They told her she has to quit smoking!

Shortcake,
Have a great cruise. Barcelona is a great place to kick off the adventure. Some very interesting architecture there. Will miss you at the mini, though.

So glad to hear that Don is doing so well. Still will keep him in our prayers. Paul also.
Wish we could come see everyone at the mini but will be landing in Barcelona on the 13th. We are going on a European cruise that we had put off due to my brother-in-laws chemo. Have fun, and, hopefully will see you next time.

Paul, my heart and my prayers go out to you.  I promise at least once every day I will ask God to guide & help you thru this terrible ordeal.  I just saw a news story on TV 2 days ago about Drs doing exactly what you described.  they use the patient's own cells, cleaned up and cancer free, to fight the cancer and kill it.  Wow,  we've come a long way baby! 

Speaking of the Mini - - - I tried this week to confirm we could use the Holiday Inn & today I was told Yes, but with a condition.  We have to guarantee them xx amount of dollars in liquor and food.  SAY WHAT??  I said no thanks, we'll go somewhere else.  I then called the Hyatt & they are happy to have us back again.  No minimum required, they'll open the bar at 2:00 for us.  I've posted the info on the Event pg, but  here it is:

Everyone is invited to join us for a Spring Mini!  It will be Saturday, April 13, 2019 from 2:00 to 6:00pm at the Hyatt Hotel on the NE corner of Campbell Rd & Hwy.75.  We've been there many times before.  And yes, at 6:00pm some of us interested in dinner will go N. up the access road about a mile or so and have dinner at El Fenix.  I'll take a headcount about 5:30ish to see who's going.

Sam....groan.
Sandy, am in cycle 5 of 7 cycles of chemo. If after cycle 7 my cancer cells are reduced to 10% or below, they will prepare me for a stem cell transplant. It will be AFTER the mini. Then the fun begins. I have my own stem cells extracted (100 million of them) and then my immune system gets totally zeroed out with super strong chemo (oh boy). My stem cells also get blasted to destroy all cancer cells and then I get them back. I am then in quarantine for 2 weeks, take two months of limited circulation while my immune system rebuilds and then four months after that I get all the shots we got as children because my immune system is like a newborn. And then...hopefully I celebrate remission at our Fall mini!!! Please keep the prayers coming. They work!

Yes Paul - - - That's me, smiling all the way!!!  Today marks a BIG milestone.  1) He's finally getting to go to cardiac Rehab and 2) He can now drive!  Things are good & will improve each day Thank you all for the support and the many prayers along the way. 

Paul, I hope you are handing in there, as I know this road is long and hard.  Where are you on the Chemo schedule?  I'm praying you will be well enough to travel in April so we can see and visit with you.  The same for Randy and many others.

Now, I need to let you know that Eileen Sandefer has had a stroke.  Judy Carpenter contacted me & said Eileen was up in the Dennison area to attend her G-dtrs baby shower, which is tomorrow, when she had her stroke.  She's in Texoma Medical.  Judy said Eileen is not able to speak.  Judy is going up there this afternoon & going to stay with her tomorrow.  She will give me an update after she sees Eileen & her dtr.  Sound serious, Eileen needs our prayers!
