Happy Easter

...........from the SBG Mob! Well, here I am back online. I finally got the laptop to work, now I need to find the energy to use it daily. Been back home for two weeks and am loving it. The mob was so thrilled to see me, but not as much as I was to see them. CC hasn't left my side, follows me everywhere at all times of the night, too. It's a riot to see her walking in front of me during my walking PT session. Pansy, Iris and Sunny follow behind. Philip giggles and calls me the Piped Piper. By the way, he is doing great. Completely recovered and my rock. He does it all for me, laundry, cooking, cleaning....and all his outside work. He is a true blessing.

My chemo treatments have resumed this week leaving me with two days with no strength and able to nap without notice. Then I'm able to function for the rest of the week. Energy levels are not good, so I must limit my online time. I'm using this blog as a way to get to everyone until I can answer each and ever one.

Philip and I are so grateful to you all for all the kindness, gifts, flowers and cards of love and support. We are stunned by your faithfulness and loyalty. Can't thank you all enough. We hope you all have a blessed Easter with lots of sunny weather and beautiful flowers. Our gardens are just beginning to show some color. Can't wait for everything to leaf out and bloom.

Hugs and appreciation to you all.
Mary, Philip and the SBG Mob

ps.............can't believe the Facebook crew! Wonderful to see you all enjoying stories, etc. Would love to join you all in June, but my Cancer doctors say to avoid that kind of crowd during procedure time. I'll have to depend on photos and stories.......bummer. I have 13 more treatments, so that will take me well into summer.

Mom is Back Home!!

Everyone put your hands together and clap for the tremendous effort Mary (mom) has shown us all! She has re-gained much of her strength, is eating better, and is diligent in doing her exercises prescribed by her Physical Therapists. Her hard work has earned her a spot back in her own home, surrounded by her cockers and tender-lovin-care by Phil. Thank you to all who have sent well wishes, cards, flamingos (LOL), prayers, and positive thoughts. She tells me she feels the power of love and appreciates everything that has been done for her, in thought and action. A special note to Janice and Connie for the extra help. You girls rock!! :) Love to all! Jane (Mary's daughter)
