If you've ever visited our home in North Carolina, you know that we have an oil painting of a carillon tower over our mantel. It was painted by Nellie Boyd, a friend of Chuck's grandparents, who took up painting in her 80s. The tower is the Bok Tower in Lake Wales, Florida. Yesterday we spent part of the afternoon there, and were treated to a live carillon concert. Walking the serene garden paths and hearing that amazing music was restorative and fun.

We spent the night in Sebring at the SIM retirement village with our dear friend Sue. This morning we'll see several other friends--but surely not all of them. Then this afternoon we'll head over to Ft. Myers where the conference will start this evening.

I'm feeling well, with no more ankle swelling. We don't need to fixate on the cancer at least until we get back home and get that C-T scan. But we continue to pray.

Love,
Carol
