Sher - so wait, were the pastries good?

[Guest guest]

Glad you had a blast. It is a good thing to meet our peeps face to

face. Since we are becoming flowers, I think I shall be a Texas

sage. Blooms just about anywhere, does not need much water and has

these pretty purple blooms on light green stems. Very resilient.

Ah good news, good news!

My biopsy came back today and it was not malignant for

osteosarcoma. YEAHHHHH It is not quite healed yet but it feels

much better not having that thing in my mouth.

And other good news, I am beginning to lose the steroid weight. 10

pounds gone POOF already. SO it is a most excellent day. I should

be down to 5 mg every other day by August.

> Vicky... it's always good to see a post from you honey. I'm

glad the morphine gives you comfort and restful sleep. Makes the day

a little easier if you're rested doesn't it.

> So ya wanna be a daisy huh. I immediately thought of the

little song, " Daisy, Daisy, give me your heart so true... " . You have

certainly done that here, given us your heart so true.

> I told Beth I want to be nasturtiums. Bright, bold,

colorful, they bloom where they are planted and take only a little

care to keep on keepin' on! Oh, and they're peppery if you taste

them. Now Vicky, doesn't that sound just like me? Tell me why you

want to be a daisy.

> I'm praying for Gene and and your family and of course you,

every day.

> Did you see the pictures of our gathering in WA? Not many of us

but gee we had a good time. Steve/Vicky...Kathie/...Joy and Rich

and I. All but Steve/Vicky went home the first day because they

live within an hours drive and Steve/Vicky and we went to dinner at

a great restaurant called 's. Right on the waterfront at the

end of Puget Sound. The food was so good I ate like a starved piggy.

I had the best prawns I've ever eaten, Steve enjoyed scallops and

Vicky and Rich had steaks. And THEN I had dessert! Rhubarb

cobbler/ice cream.

> I'm still stunned I ate like that but it was so good and the

company was so good. The four of us chatted like family would and I

hated to see the evening end. Steve/Vicky stayed over but we missed

them the following morning.

> Vicky fell outside the restaurant and at the time she said she was

fine, not hurt. But a couple days later she saw the dr and he Rx

muscle relaxers/pain pills. So she did have some injury.

>

> The next day (Sunday) Rich and I went sightseeing (small walks,

driving). Went to a Farmer's Market where we bought local apples,

Walla Walla sweet onions, 3 bars of lavender hand made soap and red

potato's. Shhhhhh, don't tell but we bought a cream roll (real

whipped cream) and a chocolate éclair to take back to the motel

room. --- we don't eat like this as a rule but again, it was so

good! --- We spent the rest of the day curled up on the big king

sized bed, read the paper and watched Tiger Wood play golf. BTW. did

I say the pastries were so good?

> I was 'high' for two days after. We will go back and see who we

can see in a few months down the road. It's not far...about a two

hour drive.

>

> I don't want to wear your eyeballs out so enough for now. Did I

tell you the pastries were so good?

>

> I love you!
