Saturday morning when Philip walked down the drivewa to the mailbox, he found a huge box (ProFlowers) stuffed into a snow bank all the way up to th "Pro". He ran it in the house and sure enough, there was the above boquet of spring flowers inside. They were frozen solid and tightly budded. They were cut too short for the red vase, but we clipped them anyway, put them into room temp water and food and waatched while holding our breathis. Here this morning, you can see that we are pleasantly surpried with the flowers having survived. Some of th leaves are a little squashy, but the flowers are lovely. Thanks you Fran, Lennard, Lacey and Chester for such a welcomed spring sprize. We really needed that.It's bee a while since I updated everyone on our situation here. Using the computer is difficult for me. One of the side effects of the chemo is blurry eyes that get tired. So I'll keep this short. We are both strong and happy. I'm a little exhausted most days with the 14 days of non stop chemo. Yesterday was the end of the first sesson. Now I'm off for 7 days and then will restart the again. No real discomfort as Philip is riding herd over me all the time. Janice is right there in the middle making sure I'm taking care of, too. I'm truly blessed.
This morning I recieved a clip from You Tub from our good friends in the UP of Michigan an have included it for you to enjoy, too. Please know that all is well here and you'll know otherwise if things change. Love you all.
