Yes,,,I've been gone. Not really.

 The computer has been gone.  Friday Doug decided we needed to move on to something that worked better.  So...we did...then the long weekend was here with no computer.  I so sorry if that made some hard questions come your way.  But...now...back in business.  

So what has happened?  The extra day with out radiation was a positive thing.  Woo...Better days are ahead.  Lots of time in the garden puttzing  My, what an escape.  More zinnias are finding a new home where they will have more space to grow.  I think our spring growing season has been fantastic.  None of those boiling days of heat.  The coolness and mistiness suggests Oregon or Washington State.  Rain at the right time...None to heavy.  Tomorrow that should happen again.  

This morning was the last Tuesday for radiation.  Three more to go. My skin has held up.  The excess fluid in my neck is being treated with another appointment Wed.  Eating still is an issue but strawberries in the milkshake had a hint of strawberry flavor today.  Everything else just doesn't have any taste but I'm trusting that to return.  I have a lovely hair do.  .Not   But that certainly is not a problem at least for me. I can't see it unless I look in the mirror!   And energy is with me most of the time.  

So God is good and life is also good.  

When I was around 8 or 9, I often visited with my neighbors who were in their 80's.  Joe would often say...Don't worry don't fret, little boy little girl or the world will loose some of it's joy.  I have been blessed that I can remember that saying from so long ago now near the age of Joe and Annie Kauffman.  It's a good motto impacting so many things.
