Somehow we dodged Friday's Derecho storm by attending a Jones family wedding in Grand Rapids, MI. Dancing and laughing with the Jones (and Fuchs) clan was the best medicine Andrew could have asked for!
As for today, we've been living the life of Riley: getting on a non-stop flight back that put us into DC 3 hours earlier than scheduled; having tuna steaks defrosted perfectly in our power-outage chest freezer; grilling and then eating in the lingering light of summer evening; and finally having the power return just as we finished eating. We're banking on the good luck continuing with Andrew avoiding any adverse side effects from Friday's shot to boost his white blood cells. For now we are grateful for small mercies: electricity, family, friends, good food and good health.
