Ford, Ford,Henry Ford,Ford

This name is on EVERYTHING in Detroit. I think they really like the man !!

I looked out our window of our hotel - aptly named, The Henry - and could see the Ford Motor Co. main headquarters literally across the field.
Our drive over to the hospital - yes, the Henry Ford Hospital- was on streets all named after cars..mustang,thunderbird etc.
After meeting with Kevins surgeon - ok, his name was not Ford - feeling Really good about our decision to come here we had an empty day ahead of us. Kevin is still counting down.."22 hours to cancer free..21 hours to cancer free"..and we desparately needed a diversion ! So we ventured out to the - whatelse - Henry Ford Museum. Way cool place, and even better, a tour of an actual plant where they were assembling Ford 150 trucks. Porter would have thought that he had died and gone to heaven. There wasn't a ton of people there today, but you could tell by seating and roped off lines that this is a Huge draw at the right time. It was a real guy thing, but I was happy to be there with my sweetie.
It poured rain all day, which was a Lovely respite from the arizona heat of late. It is green with lots of trees..and we are definitely a minority here. And thats cool fool - I can do black accents. Something to work on this week (or more than a week here)
Hold a GOOD thought for Kevin tomorrow. The surgery is at 8 a.m. EST..so most of you will just be getting up when - hopefuuly - he is all done and prostate free ( which should be worth a few ounces or so.) I will write again.

We're thinking about you guys & praying for you! I tried to send Kevin a text earlier, but I'm not sure I've got the right number. Best wishes.
