Waiting to catch breath

Well all, the last few weeks have been a whirlwind. Between trips to Cedar Rapids for chemo, and trying to get work things accomplished, our cups have been full. Luckily, we have a lot of good people around helping us get things accomplished.

I don't have much time yet, but I thought I should give some much needed thanks to some people who helped with the new clinic over the last few days. Over the weekend, we primed, painted, and valanced (surely that's not a word, but work with me) the waiting room and hallways at the new office. I'll post a picture later, but Trela (inspired by Adam's logo and artwork) painted a mural on the waiting room wall. We would have been painting until sometime next March had we not had such good help.

Many thanks to all who helped and special thanks to

Fritz, who painted Friday night till late, Saturday most of the day, and came in Sunday night to help clean things up,

Mom, who embroidered the logos onto a really cool valance that ties the office together, watched the Kile and Cavanaugh, and did other things too numerous to mention,

Dad, who's been helping with tons of things including helping finance, and building things in the office,

Adam, who in the last few weeks has been working on a tight time frame to create the logos, business cards, and magnets for the open house last Monday,

Rick and Joan Kresser, who were early arrivals on Saturday, and painted until late in the day. (thanks for helping with the corn too!)

Kelly who drove all the way out and trimmed the ceiling,

Trela's parents who have been making more trips to Iowa than a presidential candidate before a primary, and have been landscaping and cleaning and doing laundry,

Mary, who has been keeping us in cookies, and fattening us up.

To all of you and anyone my fried egg of a brain failed to mention THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!


ps. THANK YOU!
