Grateful for Friends

Hello Friends.

Some of you know that my favorite artist is in ill health. This week he has traveled to the renowned Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. He is undergoing numerous tests and his illness is being evaluated (characterized?) by the world expert in his particular illness.

It has been a rough few months for our family, and this week it feels like the stress has ratcheted up a notch - probably because we are out of our routines and comfort zones.

I am grateful to my family and friends who continue to call, write, think about, and pray for us. I know we are lucky to have the means to send him to the Clinic, and we are so very fortunate to have you all supporting us. Thank you for your love and kind thoughts.

If you'd like to keep up with him, the artist occasionally posts sketchbook-photos from his travels on his phonecam blog.
