Gus is leaving tonight at 10:00 pm or later with Scott, April and friends. April doesn’t get off work until then. They are driving to a ranch northeast of Great Falls to hunt pheasants and Gus is hunting a BIG mule deer buck. Shooting a large buck has been on Gus’ bucket list for over a year. They should be home Sunday evening very late.
Gus and I want to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary doing something special. I was thinking of a 3 day trip to some resort. Gus was thinking much BIGGER. His idea is to go on a 5 day trip to the Mayan Ruins 80 miles south of Cancun, Mexico. Gus loves the water and those beaches are calling to him. In reality, we are going with some dear friends so we are not quite as adventurous as we sound. They were already planning the trip and we just invited ourselves. We will leave February 28th and return March 8th.
When Gus starts chemo after a longer than normal break, there are several things that always seem to occur. He loses weight, his platelet count drops quite low, his appetite disappears and he feels his worse. He has lost about six pounds since November 3rd. Gus has really struggled these last three weeks with feeling so poor.
To Mr. Anonymous that commented on the blog update dated November 2, bear in mind that if “Gus wants it, Gus gets it”. Mr. sounded like he was an authority concerning recliners not being allowed in hunting camp. How would he know considering he has never seen one there yet. Watch the blog for further updates on Gus’ search for a blow-up recliner. Gus is open to any help from others in his search.

Right on Kathleen!!! Even if he wants the biggest, heaviest one he can find, sign me up to help getting it in and out, you have my phone number. Dave
Sign me up too! I'll help get the recliner in and out of hunting camp.

How did Gus do on the BIG Mule Deer hunt? I hope he got his record deer.
Your trip sounds great - and yes the beaches and sun will be great way for the two of you to relax and have some quality time together.
Just counted and you now have 102 entries for this Blog since it was started. What a great way to keep everyone informed. I am glad you started this blog.
