We had an opportunity to get down to Cambridge for 3 days and enjoyed every minute. Physically I was feeling good, not well enough to sit on a tractor, but enough to finish reading a book and catch up on local newspaper and magazines. And I napped every afternoon in a glorious cool breeze.
The weather was ideal - in the 70s during the day and in the 50s at night. Tom and Kevin took delivery of a new "Zero Turn Radius" (ZTR) mower on Friday and used it all day Saturday and Sunday AM. They had a great time, and did a great job cutting around 2000 plus lob lolly pines that Tom planted over the years. Kevin watched the crab pots, and we brought home 9 of the best crabs ever.
My job was to plan the menu and prepare lunches. We ate very well; grilled every night and had wonderful leftovers on wraps for lunch. We visited with neighbors on Saturday morning, who "knew something was wrong" because the grass hadn't been mowed. They had even mowed part of the property once for us. We do have some exceptional people in our lives, and again find ourselves thanking God for all the blessings we have.
Ginger continues to improve. Tom laughs because she is totally in sinc with my R&R. She naps when I do and sleeps until after I get up in the morning. She still expresses some discomfort if we pick her up wrong, but the spring is returning to her step.
Monday, I had my mediport placed, so that is the next step to getting into a regular schedule for chemo. We are hoping that will be this week. I promise to keep you posted.
Your cards and prayers are always appreciated. Till next time :-) Bets

I missed oyur blog the last few days.
So glad to hear that you had a wonderful weekend. It was well deserved. Also good to hear Ginger is also improving. Our pets are so in tune to us, no wonder we think of them as family. Think of you often and my prayers are with you.
Love,

Betsy,
I am so glad you had a chance to get away for a few days. Your time there sounds glorious! Keep up the nap schedule at home, even though we don't have those beautiful breezes. I'm keeping you in my prayers as I take my morning walk each day as the kids are at swim practice. Hope you are having a good one!

We are the fortunate ones to have YOU in OUR lives...keep up the good work and glad you had a good and relaxing time in Cambridge.
Cheers!
Loved the update. It sounded like you are feeling much better and ready to tackle the chemo head on. I am so glad you had such a great weekend. The weather couldn't have been better for you. We are leaving Friday for a week "down south" but hope to be able to keep in touch through the "free internet" being offered now. You will be in our thoughts and prayers, like everyday!!!

People were concerned when the blogs weren't updated. I figured you were in Cambridge and enjoying yourself. So happy to hear that was indeed the case!! Hope all goes as planned with the chemo. Sounds like Ginger is right there with you through thick and thin. Thoughts and prayers continue.
Love, Sue T.
