Joey - I&#39;m hanging in there.   Each day gets slightly better.   Ash &amp; TJ are loving being celebrities - they get so excited everytime they run the promo for the heart walk. No word from the hemotologist yet for TJ - these tests take so long.  Ash is getting very excited about going back to school.   My other 2 grandkids are currently at a family reunion in the Outerbanks in NC but will return home this Sunday and start school on Monday.  My campaign has come to a screeching halt and I&#39;m only slightly more than 1/2 way to my goal but I did a big mailing campaign last week and hope to begin getting some responses this week and get this campaign back on track and moving again.    The shingles sort of put a detour in our plans but I&#39;m back on track now and hope to make up for lost time.<br /><br />Enjoy your alone time - it feels good every once in a while.    Do you have all your excursions planned for Alaska.   Can&#39;t wait to hear all about your trip.
