Adam Adam Adam many thanks for your help with Jenny's computer. She is so happy! Wow...Now she will be able to keep up with all the family goings on! Meanwhile, here's a mold update. "THEY" are digging up the front of my house and putting in a French drain. The yard looks like a war zone trench. It's a big fat mess that I'm trying to ignore. Once the source of the mold (seeping water against the house) has been "remediated" then they seal the wall in the basement and clean it up with a hepa filter vaccum. The mold count in that room is over 10,000 which explains why my allergies never got better even with 5 years of shots. Lohring actually cleaned and straighted up the basement! A miracle I would say!

July 27, 2005 by Yayoe in Yayoe
HOLY MOLD!! HOUSE FOR SALE! We just discoverd MOLD in our attic. A general contractor came by to check it out for me and found it. There is no ventilation to speak of and he said it was 140 degrees up there. When he crawled out of the attic he was driping wet. This Friday a mold inspector/remediator is coming to tell us how bad it actually is. A friend, who is a physician said, "sell the house right now!" He said a physician friend and his family have multiple health problems from mold and the house was relatively new. SO if you know anything about the subject or friends who have had to deal with it please call or write. This explains why my allergies have never resolved or as my allergist said to me, "you gotten worse since I've know you." I've been on shots 5+ years and so many drugs that I feel like a junkie with no relief. Meanwhile, I've put the house up for sale but don't tell Lohring. Look on e-Bay for the listing under MOULDY HOUSE FOR QUICK SALE. MUST BUY SIGHT UNSEEN. NO QUESTIONS ASKED EXCEPT FOR THE PRICE!
OWNERS MOVING TO PSYCHIATRIC FACILITY FOR THE MOLD IMPAIRED.

Greetings this lovely July! Here's newz from the old folks home. Lohring is off to the wild blue yonder tomorrow (New Hampshire) for another 11 day NAMBA race. He's also planning to visit with Sadie in Massachusetts. Those little New England states are so close together that it's easy to just drive here and there and meet up with folks. Hard to believe I use to live in Cambridge, Mass. schlepping back and forth to graduate school and wondering if it was worth the effort to study study study and slave. Here it is 35 years later and the answer to the question is YES!
Lohring will be doing his first sealant clinic at LCC when he returns from New Hampsire on the 18th. He's excited about this public health approach to saving children's teeth.
I'm still plugging away at my ukulele and found 3 wonderful women in my neighborhood to play with during the month. I'm still doing my volunteer activities and enjoying the summer.
Dorothy will be returning to Eugene in September. She's going to Washington to help her sister Caroline, who is scheduled for cardiac surgery. I'll be in touch with you folks about dates for getting together.
S0 enough for now!

Happy New Year to all! And yes, like a cleaning fool I did clean and vaccum the house before the clock struck 2005. This year however I didn't compile the usual list of 50 items I plan to accomplish. Who am I kidding with new resolutions. Heading toward my 62nd year I'm just happy to have all my teeth (thanks to 5 new crowns and 1 root canal in 2004) and some of my hair. This month I'm taking a Ukulele class and a caregiver class! Weird but fun combination of classes huh. I'm still seeing private clients at PeaceHealth and doing pro-bono work at the Alzheimer's Association. On Mondays I'm at the Assistance League sorting books and marking merchandise. I love working for the league!
Good news about Josh. He's back in Hawaii as of December and he got a great job working as an environmental specialist for the state. He's using his chemistry backgournd and samples water at the beaches and then surfs after work! Jodie will be joining him this week and then they'll be looking for a place to live. They are in sticker shock because of the high cost of housing and rentals.
Lohring is still treking back and forth to Grants Pass and enjoys his job. His in-town work as a volunteer dental director at the early Head Start Program is putting him into the new world of public health dentistry...hurrah for him. He's also going to be very busy being the district director for the northwest region which means he'll be gone more than usual to all the races, etc. He plans to be in Fremont, California in February for a race and then to New Hampshire in July for the annual NAMBA championships. He plans to visit Sadie during that time!
Dorothy will be visiting friends in Florida from January 17-31. Shortly after her return she and her sister Caroline will be going on a cruise in the Panama Canal area from February 17-27. After then she will visit Caroline in Washington and will be here in Eugene from March 12-19th. We'll be in touch about visiting you folks and setting up some fun things to do during her visit.
