February - March

Hi everyone! I hear from some of you that I haven't been updating my blogspot. The good news is I'm busy living, getting out and about, watching spring arrive! The bad news is that doesn't always allow me to sit and share with you all.

My doctor visits have been going well, except that I had some kind of infection in my surgical breast (sounds funny, like I had an implant or something). After three different antibiotics, we finally got it knocked out of there. I need some Occupational Therapy to get rid of some of the lymph my breast and shoulder are retaining, so, I'll do that as soon as we get back from Arizona.

Jay and I are leaving tomorrow (Sat. March 7) and returning Sat., March 14. We'll be in Tucson with some friends from our neighborhood (Sam and Nancy) for the first four days, then up to Scottsdale to visit our friend, Bob and his family, and Jay's two aunts (Kathryn and Norma) who live in Phoenix and Sun City. We'll probably need to rest when we get back. It's been two years since I've travelled this far away from home, doctors, etc. I'm really looking forward to it, but I also hate to leave home. Oh, well, I do get to golf twice with the guys and we do get to go to Kitt Peak, a national observatory to see the stars, planets, etc.

My hair is about three inches long now and as curly as a new perm. It's pretty fun trying to figure out how to care for it AND waking up with funny hair in the morning is delightful. As my stylist told me, "Only you would have a great day having a bad hair day." Bring it on!

Take care, listen for the returning birds, the robins came in today (Mar. 6) and the cardinals are singing their mating songs. The chickadees are checking out which houses they want in the yard and the gardens are sending up the hopes of a healthy flowering year. Spring is coming soon!
