We've spent the past few days tidying the Bed and Breakfast for Guests and we're almost ready.

Friday we all got our flu shots at Mom's Day Care Center. I had a _great_ massage Friday afternoon -- thanks, again, NancyTurtle! (dd, I think it helped with the flu shot ache as well as all the rest!)

Next week we have the CT scan on Wednesday along with meetings with both of the oncologists. Thursday we have the cataracts assessed. Friday I meet with the gynocological oncologist.

Mom is doing very well right now. A new visiting nurse will be starting next Tuesday. She'd love to hear from you.

When not at work, Kevin's staying pretty busy with our web design business. For a while there I was feeling like the proverbial cobbler's daughter...


What's going on with you and what do you have planned???

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Kevin and Diana, for making daWoods available to all the family and friends of Terry's so they could meet and share their memories and stories of Terry on Saturday. And thank you for making the audio/video connection with me a reality so I should also share in the day from over 2000 miles away. It was an awesome experience. I've had some wonderful conversations with people who were there regarding the beauty of daWoods and your extreme generousity in offering it as the site for the memorial.

Best of luck with all your medical appointments this week.
