Blog 101 - To those of you who are new to blogs and blogging, I wanted to give a brief overview of how to use this site. There are authors and followers. Authors are Val and Connie. Followers are all of our wonderful support system that continue to follow Bru's journey through this battle. Authors create posts, followers can read posts and comment on posts that have been created. As a follower you don't have to log in in with an account or sign in to comment. If there is a post that you are interested in commenting on, just click the comment icon below the post itself. Once you have typed your post, you must choose an account just below the text box, choose anonymous! If you are looking for all of the posts to the blog, scroll down the page and look to the right of the screen, every post is listed there by month and day. It's listed chronologically starting newest to oldest. If you want to add pictures, please email me at emtp1124@yahoo.com with a description of the picture and the caption you would like underneath it. Blogging is very similar to Facebook and other social sites, but it doesn't have the ability to post things to the blog like you do people's walls in facebook. If you are having problems viewing the blog, it may be because of settings that you have on your internet browser . You can type the URL into your smart phone browser as well and see the blog pretty well. If you want updates sent to you anytime things are updated, subscribe to the blog by email. This option is at the top of the page on the right hand side of your screen just above the picture of Bruce. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at emtp1124@yahoo.com.

We Made It!

So we finally made it to Naples, Florida!!  Wasn't sure we were going to make it out of Kent County Int'l Airport after the de-icers worked their way around the plane 3, yes 3, times!!! BUT, we finally did, an hour and a half behind schedule.  We made it to Ft. Lauderdale by 10 p.m.  Got our rental cars, Connie driving one, Dan driving the other.  Dan got lost, so funny, leaving the airport, so we had to track him down and Connie, in her tech savvy world she lives in, along with Mitch and Nathan, navigated them to where we had pulled off the highway and met up with them :)  We were all laughing when we met up at a gas station off I-75, and Bruce affectionately called Dan and company "Boneheads"!!  Needless to say, we didn't end up even getting to the cottage until 1a.m., but we're all here, safe and sound, albeit extremely exhausted.  Bruce fared pretty well on the plane but had some trouble upon standing, so he had to pretty much stay in his seat on the plane (due to swelling of his brain) but he is fine now.  Still sleeping (along with everyone else but me, I might add  LOL)  Bruce is very pleased to be here but the trip wiped him out and he is resting comfortably as I type this.  I watched the sun come up, in shorts and a t-shirt (sorry, HAD to rub it in a wee bit) and we'll be off and running to the beach, I'm sure, as soon as all the sleepy heads wake up!  We are in a beautiful home in South Naples, with everything within walking distance.  We'll be posting soon, rest assured, with pictures to share.  Luv to all! - Val
