Thanks for checking in.

Irene had a minor needle infiltration at dialysis today.  She was taken off the machine 20 minutes early, drove home icing the wounded arm and handling the steering wheel with the other.

Shirley Churchill, who had driven to the dialysis center after a huge traffic delay on Highway 17, was only able to work with Irene for about 15 minutes…instead of the usual 2 hours…before Irene was taken off the machine.  What sacrifice Shirley’s consistently made, serving Irene weekly for more than 2 years…!!!  Simply amazing.  Thanks, Shirley…!!!

Hoping for a better tomorrow…thanks for caring,
Dave

Howard and Carol Kazanjian’s 40th Wedding Anniversary in San Marino, CA

We were among the 330 guests who waited in their Kazanjian’s backyard for the surprise party….

Sons, Noah, Peter and Andrew Kazanjian surprised their parents and coordinated the celebration.  What a detailed event….!!!

Carol and Howard were completely surprised and overwhelmed!!

Howard mingling with his guests…gee, I wonder who he’s with in this photo?

Gracious and elegant Carol shares a gentle moment with Irene.

JoAnna and Irene enjoying Tom/Christine Kobayashi and Don/Marlyn Marshburn.

Howard’s Hollywood credits are enormous…and you can see in this photo Darth Vader wringing Howard’s neck on the set!!

The many and varied desserts served after the cake was sliced were amazing….

Irene did well all weekend; the quick jaunt down south was fun and the nausea remained at bay.  Perhaps it was the encouragement of seeing so many friends.

Thanks for caring,

Dave
