J. Strom Thurmond Lake
Modoc, SC
When we have a workamp job,
a lot of time on our days off is just relaxing,
being with friends,
and getting the chores done.
Since we were in this area last fall,
we haven't done any sightseeing around here this time.
Also, since it's been in the 90's every day,
it makes outside activities a bit difficult :-)
I thought I'd just give an update of our time spent this last week...
Last weekend was Memorial Day.
We had a very busy gatehouse,
and saw a lot of families coming through to enjoy the lake.
Wednesday we had a potluck with most of the volunteers here..
There was a lot of good food, of course.
A few of us stayed after and played cards.
There was a beautiful rainbow blessing our time there as well..
We've been spending a lot of our time with Mike & Terri as well..
either on their 'porch' or ours.
Unfortunately, they are leaving on Monday (insert very sad face here!)
We invited them and Jim & Linda out to lunch yesterday.
They had told us about a good Mexican restaurant,
called El Alazan, it was great!
Last night we had a big storm roll through.
The clouds looked ominous!
Of course I took them with my phone through the back window.
I wasn't going outside!
At one point, we couldn't even see across the way
to the other RVs!
There was a lot of lightening, and at one point some hail.
It all finally blew over, and was quiet once again.
Today we're back at the gatehouse for the weekend.
Oh..
and that 'other thing'..
I'm sad to say that my Dad's cancer has flared up.
He's been in remission from pancreatic cancer since February.
This past month or so, he's been having pain again,
so he went for a CT scan.
The results were back on Thursday,
and they found 2 tumors on his liver,
and one in his lung.
For now they're putting him on oral Chemo meds
to help with pain management.
Their 58th wedding anniversary is in June,
and they had booked a cruise back in February,
one that is on the Maine coast.
At this point, since it's only 2 weeks away,
they are still planning on going.
Your prayers for healing and comfort are appreciated!
This is a picture of my Dad, and cousin Kalene.
She spent Mother's Day weekend with them..
