Hello to all,
A lot has happened since my last post on Oct. 5 so I thought I would bring you up to date.
We ran the Minster 10K on Sunday, Oct. 7. It was quite warm which got to me later in the day, but I finished with no problems except a turtle's pace. In fact. I think the turtle beat me. Roy did quite well. We went on to Echo Hills in Piqua to play golf, but quit after 9 because we were so hot and tired - missed my favorite part of the course. We also had to get home to watch the Indians in the division play-off. They got through that with flying colors, but you know the rest of the story. Roy is still in mourning, but can't wait for Spring Training and next year!
On Wednesday the 10th, I was returning from an Optimist meeting in Fremont, was almost to the south Troy exit, when my left rear tire blew out and sent me spinning from the inside lane to the berm of I-75. The middle lane was clear, but while spinning, the left rear of my car slammed into the left rear of a semi in the right lane. The semi never did not stop, but my car did. It was a total loss. I'd had it for 40 days. Amazingly enough, I was not hurt at all, no aches the next day or anything. I can't say enough about the restraints and protection of the Infiniti - now the tire is another story???? With the help of the great guys at Infiniti of Dayton and State Farm, I was able to get another car just two weeks later.
On Thursday, the 11th, I was installed as President of the Dayton Presidents Club at the Convention Center in front of 500 people, (awesome, scary) and now am getting ready for my first meeting on Nov. 5.
I've had two chemo treatments in this 5th cycle, but yesterday, the doctor thought my white cell counts were too low and scheduled 5 days of shots before next week's treatment. It didn't make me very happy to be making all of those trips to downtown Dayton, but should be thankful I am not driving to Columbus everyday for weeks for treatments as a friend of mine is.
We are heading into a busy Optimist season with tree lot set-up and organization of teams the first week of November, Delivery Day on the 17th and lot opening the day after Thanksgiving.
Never a dull moment!
Thanks for your continuing concerns and good wishes. I appreciate each and every one of you.
Margaret

Congratulations Madame President! With all the optimists behind you you will get better and continue to spread good will across the state of Ohio! I am so glad that you were not injured in your car crash! The angels must have circled you with their wings. Too bad they were not around to help the Indians as the team sure could have used some angels in the outfield in at least one of the last three games. Gary and I continue to recuperate from our surgeries. I will be going back to work on November 1 so Gary will have the take care of himself. He has graduated from walker to cane and at times he can walk unaided. He can't drive yet, but if he has his way he'll be behind the wheel this week! I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Take care. Bonnie
