For Your Information about the Delay in Updating

Well, a lot has happened since the last photos I posted (August 30th).
As most of you know I had, yet another surgery (sixth in 7 years) to remove more cancer...hopefully that will be the end of it. Found out on September 24th -- between seeing four doctors, having another CTPET scan and waiting to see what the "Cancer Tumor Board" at the Lake recommended, I finally had surgery on October 15th. Recovery was eight days in the hospital, then a much longer recovery time at home than some of the other surgeries. So, bottom line, we are 10 to 12 weeks behind on the final construction phase of "One Eleven." Thanks for your prayers and patience on the updating of this Blog. There are new photos that update the blog as of December 10, 2007.
