Salute to the Troops

Thanks to all who serve now, served in the past, or lost loved ones in battle.

Sorry I've lagged behind in my posting. It was a busy (for me, anyway), week and a half!

The time spent in Vero Beach was very nice. Beautiful home, beautiful area. The woman who owns the home is a truly wonderful person. It was quite hot most days, though, and flies were biting!

I picked up some pretty seashells. I was surprised to see so many since Daytona and New Smyrna didn't have many washing up on the beach a couple of weeks ago.

Last Wednesday we drove from Vero to West Palm Beach (about 80 miles) to see my aunt and uncle. Always a good visit.

I don't admit this to very many people, but I watch American Idol. I watched it for the first time the season before last and then this season, so I'm not completely addicted to it. I have to say that I'm happy that David Cook won. SWEET!

This week is going to be very busy. I see my medical oncologist Tuesday, then an orthopedic doctor and my radiation oncologist later in the week. It's time for my 3 month follow up, so I'll be having a mammogram and I imagine some blood work. My right arm is bothering me a bit, slightly swollen in the forearm and tender. I'm praying it's not lymphodema! And, as usual, I tire VERY easily!

We received some MUCH needed rain this past week. My front lawn is looking green again. The weeds are another story.
