How fast the spring season has come! Since my birthday, my life has been a whirlwind. I was fortunate to be able to travel to a nursing meeting in Hilton Head Island (it was a sacrifice, but I muddled through) for four days with a colleague from Washburn. The weather was very windy (and I'm not in Kansas anymore!) and cool. I did get to walk on the beach one day and did some shopping one afternoon. The best part was the yummy seafood. Since I flew into Savannah, I couldn't miss the opportunity to go to "Lady and Sons" - Paula Deen's restaurant! I had fried green tomatoes, collard greens and the most delicious chococlate cake ever! I didn't see Paula or her sons, but enjoyed the outing nevertheless. My sister, Luanne, ate there last week and got her photo taken with the boys! -darn!
Easter Sunday, I was happy to host a meal with my family and in-laws. It is always a fun time with my children around. I am so glad that my two kids like each other. There love for me and each other is a continuing blessing in my life.
Next week is final exam week and I am deep into grading papers. My very smart daughter tells me I shouldn't assign those papers if I didn't want to grade them, hummmm.
The end of April, I traveled to Canyon, Texas for a nursing school "inspection". I got to see the second largest canyon in the U.S. - beautiful in the late afternoon, full of color, just awesome. I also drove by "the Big Texan" restaurant, where if you eat the 72 ounce steak, you eat free. I wasn't that hungry.
I am feeling good. My feet still bother me and get sore when I have to stand for long periods, or walk alot. I am shoe shopping - for comfort, not style. I completed #40 Herceptin injection on Monday - only 12 more to go! I continue to covet your prayers and know that God is alive in me -
By this I know that thou favorest me, because mine enemy (cancer) doth not triumph over me. Psalm 41:11Blessings to you!
Love -
