A Weekend of Fun!!

I hope it will be fun this weekend. First we have a very casual wedding to attend. A long-time friend of Ron's, who is also a senior, is marring a woman from Denver, CO. They had a ceremony out there for her family and friends and are having one here for his friends and family. It is very casual with a casual reception of sorts in the church hall after.

We're hoping we can leave there by 3 to head over to Mystic, CT. It's close to a four-hour drive from here, but worth it to get away. Ron will attend a knife show on Sunday, and I'll wander around town and go to the aquarium.


As the pics below show, Em had a good time on her visit. I picked her up late Wednesday afternoon, after taking Tony to the doctor (he has Type B Flu and was very ill). It made sense to bring her down Wednesday to avoid me having to drive up there just 13 hours later on Thursday morning to bring her down.

Em was wonderful! She was cooperative, happy and generally a good kid. She loves tromping in the woods and loved tossing stones into the creek. This summer I'll let her go wading in the water to cool off.

Got my hair cut yesterday. Em went with me and was perfect. My hairdresser, as well as the others, said that there are very few children who come there who are as good as she was. I can't imagine taking a child to a hair salon who couldn't behave for 30 minutes. It's not fair to anybody.

Michele drove down about 3 yesterday to take Em home. Just before they left, half a dozen deer wandered through the backyard, grazing as they went. Em is so thrilled to see them and was especially thrilled to share them with her mommy.

I'm getting anxious to hear the results of Ron's biopsy. I want to know so we can do what has to be done to slow the progression. The doctor has said it can't be cured, but it can be treated.

Weather - The past couple of days have had temps in the high 60s with some sun. Em and I were able to play outside for hours Thursday, but it wasn't as nice Friday.

Exericise - I've had little time or desire to exercise. My lower intestinal problem hasn't gone completely away and it often makes me feel drained and exhausted; hence no energy for doing special exercising.

Cobwebs from the cellar and random mind thoughts - Will we be able to get out of town as early as I'd like? Will it rain in Mystic while we're there? Wonder if I'll find the perfect birthday card for Ron, whose birthday is Monday. Will his chemo treatments be on a day that works best for our weekly schedule?
