March 23, 2015..  I am sorry that I am late in posting this note. Last night I was just too tired to do it. We made the drive to Little Rock today (Monday) with no problems. The traffic was probably the lightest that we have had since we have been coming here. It was a rather pleasant drive but would have been more pleasant if we had not had to do the drive in sort of a rush. We needed to get here by 6pm before the office closed in order to pick up the key for the apartment. We did not make the 6pm deadline but got here about 10 minutes past. It is hard to believe we drove for 11 hours and were late by 10 minutes. We were able to get what we needed to get into the apartment anyway. We were fortunate enough to get an apartment again from Home Away from Home. We were surprised that we were able to get one since I had talked to the person that manages the apartments for the church and there was not anything available. One became available at the last minute. As I have said before, Home Away from Home is a wonderful church ministry where they lease a group of apartments at two different apartment complexes and then rent them out to myeloma patients while they are in Little Rock for treatment or testing. The apartment we have this time is one where we have never stayed before. It is very nice. The building is 2 years old and is located in a new shopping area. Within walking distance are many shops, eating places, Target, Cheddars etc. It is called Park Avenue and the apartments are called Park Avenue Lofts. It is close to UAMS where I have to go for testing and doctor visit. The rate is less than we would have paid for a hotel room. I like one of the security features. A person cannot get into the building without an electronic device to unlock one of the doors to the building. It is similar to an electronic remote to a car. We both feel very blessed to have been able to get an apartment here.
