Iceland Photos; Chemo cycle 2

Matthew's pics from Iceland - Go check out RVAnews to see my photo blog on Iceland!

Gloria started her second cycle of chemo Tuesday. She's such a special lady and strong!

Iceland

Well, Matthew should be on his way back home from Iceland tomorrow. That seems to be the "In" place to visit... sounds like he's enjoying the experience.

Stir Crazy

Well you can add stir crazy to Gloria's symptoms from the chemo - short shopping trips seem to be the best cure - Ha!

Black and white print make it true?

Real Estate Perspective

Foreclosures in the Richmond area was 28 per 10,000 Owner Occupied Units.

Keep things in perspective when you listen to the news media - they seldom seem to get the facts right, much less in perspective.

VAR says…

Just released: Virginia housing stats quarterly analysis
First the bad news: Statewide, home sales in Virginia were down 27 percent in the first quarter of 2008 compared with the first quarter of 2007. The statewide median sales price is also down nine percent for the same period. A possible national recession, foreclosures on the rise, tight credit markets, potential federal legislation--all of these factors make it difficult to predict where the market is going.

Here's the good news: Some areas of the Commonwealth saw a double-digit increase in the median sales price in the first quarter, including Charlottesville and Lynchburg. The state's mid-sized metros (Hampton Roads, Richmond and Roanoke) saw their median home prices unchanged over the same period. Virginia's housing market is performing better than many other states, and our diverse economy is a key factor in Virginia's ability to weather a downturn.

Speechless in Midlothian

Gloria was speechless when her girlfriends from NC, Nancy and Vicki stopped by to visit...

Surprise

A couple of Gloria's BP from NC will pay a surprise visit this weekend... I know she'll be excited to see them.

Second Chemo

Gloria's second chemo went well - shorter and easier, plus her nausea seems to be getting under control. She's got a week off and then starts the cycle again.

Thank all for their calls, thoughts and prayers.

Kids...

The kids were all home for Friday evening dinner. Jordan surprised her Mom with a visit from the left coast. Gianna's baby shower was fun from what I hear.

Gloria's first week after chemo was going well until Friday, Saturday and Sunday... Next treatment is tomorrow, so we'll see how that goes.

Good to have Jordan home, even if just for a short while. Matthew and Morgan were great to see as well, even though they're just across the river - Ha!

First Chemo

Yesterday was Gloria's first day of chemo and the folks at St Frances treated her like royalty and kept the event light with great humor.

Met Baylani the therapy dog - sweet girl, but quite the beggar.

Great time

The anniversary celebration was wonderful - very enjoyable. Look forward to pictures et al on the family web site.
