Now a Red-Head!


My first day as a red-head was a success. In the photo I am in the front of my house next to the iris and peonies in bloom. They are both just gorgeous now!
Marlin and I took a road trip to Joplin, Mo, to do a few errands on Wednesday after by "buzz". He was looking for a new lounge chair to match our patio furniture and I was looking for time out of the house! We both got our wishes.
We had a good laugh - at least a knowing smile - when the sales clerk complimented me on my hair! She was a red-head and said she liked the cut and color of my hair. Marlin told her that I had just cut it - and I mentioned that I had it colored, too. The clerk just went on and on! So I don't know if she knew it was a wig or not, but that's okay. We had a good chuckle after we left the store.
My second treatment was May 22 and it went well. I was a little more tired on Friday and Saturday following. I have to give myself a Neulasta shot the day after each treatment to help boost my blood cell production. I asked to give the shots to myself, rather than going to the hospital. I am saving the insurance company $9,000 by doing this!! Yes, that's right- nine thousand dollars! Amazing, isn't it?
My devotion yesterday spoke to me. He will take great delight in you, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing. Zephaniah 3:17 I needed that quieting yesterday and am ever grateful I have my faith to hold me up.
Remember the freedoms we enjoy during this Memorial Day weekend. Blessings to you and your family.
Love, Ellen
