-> OK, I'll pass on the info Sunday when I see him. Family name is
-> Mitchell.
-> 
-> -> We've got a small Goebel (probably not spelled right) set I got in
-> -> Germany, with a olive wood stable we bought in Bethlehem. Didn't set 
it
-> -> up last year as we left soon after classes ended for NY to do 
christmas
-> -> for my folks.
-> 
->  HN> I came home today and Anne had already set
->  HN> up the Nativity set that she inherited.
->  HN> I think she'll also set up "our" set as
->  HN> well..when she finds it!
-> 
-> Sounds like she's feeling better. Sometimes it takes a lot of energy to
-> do simple things but so much joy/satisfaction comes from the
-> accomplishment of them.
-> 
There are good days and days when she
has to pace herself to get through the
entire day...but she's not often needing
extra naps during the day now!

-> ->  hn> She'll be officially a PhD on Wednesday when
-> ->  hn> she turns in her dissertation and pays the
-> 
-> -> So she has it now. Anything like giving/getting the first salute
after
-> -> being commissioned? Steve did that for our SIL when he got his AF
-> -> commission. Eventually Robert will get the silver dollar.
-> 
->  HN> They Ring a bell and say "congratulations
->  HN> Dr Newsom!" they also gave her a UC Davis
->  HN> Alumni pin...which I am guessing will put
->  HN> her on the eternal bequest begging list. I
->  HN> have two Bachelor's Anne has a Bachelor's and
->  HN> a Master's..and we get pinged continually by
->  HN> the schools...well...to be honest I don't get
->  HN> pinged anymore by the UW...not after they offered
->  HN> NO (as in ZERO) finanical Aid to Amanda when
->  HN> she was accepted into the UW Honors program.
->  HN> And I'm sure there's a note attached to
->  HN> my "file" in the alumni association file
->  HN> cabinet, that I am not a friendly or
->  HN> easy touch anymore!!
-> 
-> We have 2 Bachelor's, one Associate's but only hear from 3 of our 5
-> previous schools. The one I graduated from, yesterday got a letter of
-> intent for a $12,000,000 gift to improve the athletic facilities. Doner
-> and her husband own the Buffalo Sabers and Rochester Americans (hockey)
-> teams. We've donated some to a couple of the schools, not much but keeps
-> us on the lists. Steve has joined the SEBTS alumni association so I
-> suspect we'll hear from them, more so after he graduates.
->
Anne has two Associate degree's and
I have one..but I just add them into 
the first bachelors (grin).
 
-> ->  hn> Yep, I'd be going through a container
-> ->  hn> of clorox wipes every 15 minutes!!
-> 
-> -> Worse than a new mom--I've seen how many our girls are using with 
their
-> -> kids. Germs don't have a chance around them.
-> 
->  HN> I am terrified of having her "catch" something
->  HN> in the state her immune system is currently in.
-> 
-> It will rebuild. Can't keep her 100% germ free but can do as much as
-> possible. Can Anne have yogurt with active cultures or do they have to
-> be dead ones? The live ones are good for restoring the good bacteria to
-> a digestive system after a round of antibiotics, don't know if they're
-> any help to chemo patients or not.
-> 
Her Oncologist has been very complimentary
on how well I have cared for Anne during
all this...her blood numbers have been
very good throughout. I don't mind being
a bit Obsessive/compulsive when it's for
a cause so important to me! And it seems
to have paid good dividends at this point!
chat with you soon!
