Hi Everyone,
Since I plan on writing once each weekend, my Sister Carol thought I should sum up what happened during the week that made it special.
I apologize for not writing this last Sunday....
Monday Nona had her celebratory lunch for having worked 30 years with DuPont.
Congratulations Nona! I feel Blessed to even know you let alone call you my Friend.
Tuesday I went to see the Eye Doctor for my yearly check up.
I noticed a difference in my ability to see objects far away...and guess what?
I am now the proud owner of a pescription for Glasses!
Apparently, my vision has deteriorated rather rapidly from last year.
I want to clarify that my Eye Doctor was fully aware of my diagnosis/subsequent treatment for Leukemia. He said physically my eyes look fine and my vision for reading is really good...but my ability to see objects far away is NOT good. I will now join both my Sisters, my Brother-in-law, my Sister's Boyfriend and two of my three Nieces who all wear glasses and/or contacts to see objects far away.
Wednesday Carol and I had dinner at Widener University's School of Hospitality Management. It was the last dinner for this semester. We're both looking forward to next semester's dinners.
Thursday My Sisters and I attended the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Delaware's first ever Blood Cancer Conference at Clayton Hall on the U of D Campus. We learned a lot and we met Jessica and Michelle from the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Delaware who had kept track of my progress on the Christiana Hospital Care Page while I was going through Remission Chemotherapy.
Friday Jan, Mike and I went to the movies. We saw Chimpanzees and we all liked it...
Saturday I marked the Entrances/Exits of Ridley Creek State Park to the Start/Finish of the MS Walk-a-thon that was going to take place on Sunday. I was not part of the organizing committee, this year, but my Dad had Multiple Sclerosis and this organization is very important to me because of him.
In the evening my two Sisters, Mike and I went to Barb's Home for Game Night (this particular night was BINGO). Barb is a Nurse at Christiana Hospital that we all got to know when I was going through Remission Chemotherapy. We had a Blast! Thanks Barb!
Sunday I volunteered with setup at the MS Walk-a-thon from 6:30am to 10:30am. Bill and I "supervised" the setup of all the rest stops since Bill has a bad back and I'm not allowed to do any heavy lifting. It's H___ getting older and/or recoving from chemotherapy....sorry I had to vent a bit there...
I met my two Sisters, Mike and Carly at the Artists' Circle Art Show in Devon at 12p. Lisa, a friend from High School, is part of this Group and we try to go to as many Art Shows as possible if she is showing her work.
Take care Enjoy Your Weekend and Thank You for your continued Thoughts and Prayers

Hi Everyone,
Since I plan on writing once each weekend, my Sister Carol thought I should sum up what happened during the week that made it special.
Tuesday I met Eunice, Ed and Nona for lunch. I've seen Nona and Ed more than once recently but I had not seen Eunice in a very long time. The smiles flowed....
Wednesday Carol, Jan, Mike and I had dinner at Widener University's School of Hospitality Management. We had a really nice time just shooting the breeze while we ate dinner.
Thursday I took a Personal Day and took all three of my Nieces out to an early Dinner and a Movie (I still have to avoid large crowds so we went to a matinee).
All I can say is it made my Soul Smile being able to spend time with them...Thank You God!
Friday Dottie prepared home cooked Lasagna and Meatballs (and Banana Cream Pie for dessert). Dottie, Ed and I played UNO for THREE HOURS...we had a blast...hahahahaha
Saturday I proved, once again, that I am out of touch with my weakened body.
While Mike roto tilled his garden, I mowed his lawn using his riding mower. Later that night my back started hurting.
It took a heating pad and rest all day on Sunday for my back to feel somewhat normal again.
But I want to clarify...it was GREAT being out in the sun (although I was covered from head to toe with a long sleeve shirt, jeans, steel tipped boots and a hat to block the sun....hahahha).

Hi Everyone,
Happy Easter!!!
Since I plan on writing once each weekend, my Sister Carol thought I should sum up what happened during the week that made it special.
Tuesday I met Jim, Michele and Mike at my Condo. Jim is a friend from High School. He'll be fixing my kitchen which I made unusable prior to my diagnosis of having Acute Lymphocyctic (now it's called Lymphoblastic) Leukemia.
Wednesday My Sister Carol and I had dinner at Widener University. The School of Hospitality Management Students run a restaurant and they prepare and serve dinner several Wednesdays during the semester.
Friday I had dinner with my Cousin Jim and his wife Dot.
Saturday I walked one hour and looked at dishwashers and microwave ovens (that have built-in vents and are installed over ovens) at the local appliance stores. It was my homework assignment from Jim.
Sunday I walked two hours....then...Carol Al Caitlin Carly and I had Easter Dinner at Cracker Barrel. I had my Favorite Cracker Barrel Entree....Spicy Catfish (it's not very spicy which is why I like it).
Take care Enjoy Your Week and Thank You for your continued Thoughts and Prayers
