Vlad is finally getting out of the fever funk. He's still feeling pretty light-headed and things seem a little dream-like to him sometimes. I think he's just working through the poisons they put in him. He seems better today than yesterday.
But we got some bad news about our friend Peter, who had a stroke Thursday night in his home in Tennessee. (He's above with me and my friend Karla, his wife). He can't talk at the moment. His left side is impaired; but he's moving his arm and leg, so that's good. There's some concern about his left eye, Karla said. It will take them awhile (I'm assuming a couple of weeks or more) to assess his situation. But I don't really know. Nobody will give Karla any idea about what Peter's outcome may be. We'll just keep sending good thoughts.
With Vlad's diagnosis, our friend Terry's fall a couple of weeks ago and now Peter's stroke, we're ready to erase this year from the books. Everybody, be healthy and don't sweat the small stuff. Hey, sometimes life is a cliche.
Anyway, here are some more photos from when Vlad and I visited Karla and Peter last year in the Smokies:
Here's Karla on the porch of their cabin in the Smokies.
Here's a view of nearby Watauga Lake. It was October.

Looks like the cabin we stayed at, was it called the Bass Bungalow by any chance?
This was their personal home. That's a beautiful bungalow, however!
I've stayed there ( Bass Bungalow ) before! It's right on Watauga Lake!
