Dad with his Memorial Day BBQ going!! It was delicious! He set up the grill and table in the parking lot behind Sue & Ray's!!
Here is his set-up!!

Susie looking so great and Ash at Pappadeaux's, one of our favorite restaurants! It was so great to have "no family left behind!!"



Sue & Ray at their table eating Shipley's donuts and kolaches...note Ray's smile and remember what it takes to make Ray smile....a Shipley's donut??? Come on Ray, we need to find some other things that make you smile..perhaps Sue will post a pic later on of Ray's "Christmas smile"??


Poor Miko...he is the kitty with the se-through bonnet on!! He has the collar to protect his ears which he scratches til they a re totally swollen, not because of anything, he has bee to the vet plenty..he just does it..

A fun time was had by all in Houston, TX over Memorial Day weekend! Ashlee & I couldn't believe how significantly much better Sue is doing and looking!! (You can tell by the pix)! We had alot of fun just catching up and spending time with family. Monday, my dad came and got Ash, Kari & I and we went to check out this "Greek food superstore" called Phoenicia! We found some delicious feta cheese and olives and Greek honey for Sue and some misc items and headed back to Sue's. We dropped off our first round of groceries and brought Kari home and Ash and my dad and I went to my dad's fave grocery store "Central Market", and it is huge and awesome!! We got some great food for grilling as we planned a little Memorial day BBQ with my dad at the helm! Ray went out to check on BIG SCREEN TV prices and sales, as he has been researching a new TV purchase for he and Sue! He found some great TV's so we'll see what he will do! :) Ash and I are sad this am, we will really miss everyone. Take care Sue and everyone. Good Luck this week and me and my whole family will be praying!!
XOXOXO Kaylee
























My dad grilled up the food and we all sat and visited some more, knowing Ash and I would be leaving later in the evening....the food was fab and the company even better! The trip went by like a whirlwind, but Sue has just reclaimed so much more of her health and ability to do things, things we just take for granted. She is just really sick of all the side issues, so will you please pray this week that her blood levels, sodium and potassium are normal? SO she won't need a blood transfusion? Also that her chest cavity does not refill back up with fluid? It took her a few days to recover from that very painful procedure, but she is breathing normally and has her energy to get out and about back!! SO it was worth it! Can you also please pray for her chemo on Wed, as she will be having both kinds, that it will work it's healing and take away her cancer and that she will have minimal to NO side effects? She will also be going ot the lymphedema clinic this week to wrap her arm from finger tips to shoulder, so can you also pray that she will be able to easily tolerate that and be able to take a shower? Thanks again, following are some more pics from our trip!!
