Spring

The weather here in Lewiston is really starting to look better to us. We have had lots of sunshine and morning frosts are gettting quite rare. It is getting up in to the 60's some days. The daffodils and hyacynths are blooming and the trees are budded, and hopefully will soon have some leaves. It will just be getting beautiful here, when it will be time for us to leave for Mexico. Sure did get the plan turned inside out this year, for where to be when!

My treatment is coming to an end, just 8 more sessions to go, and still no radiation burns, just a slight color change. I do get pretty sore after a treatment, but the discomfort subsides by the next morning. Today I get the day off. I had a Saturday treatment this week, which allows us to finish the day before we leave for Mexico, instead of having to go from the last treatment to the airport. A major improvement in the plan. I am still using aloe vera on my skin, and it is doing a great moisturizing job. I am finding myself quite fatigued and emotional these days. Better not wear mascara at the wedding.

This week we had some challenges develop. Cameron was down-sized at his work on Wednesday, and big blow to the guy that prefers to make the leaving decisions himself. He has hit the ground running though, with lots of options in the work, and his resume, always at the ready. We are anxious about the timing with his house purchase in the next few weeks, but we think things will work out for that.

We have celebrated this week, with the 2nd birthday of MaKenna on April 15, and Brittany's birthday on Saturday. Everyone enjoyed gettting together at Tyler and Amy's house. Ron is consulting and getting the motorhome ready to be sold on e-bay.

The ice went off lake muskoka on Friday. The Taylors are freed from their island.

With the spring comes change. Too bad about Cameron's job. He is a smart fellow and a survivor. He will turn this lemon into lemonade.
8 more treatments. Wow. Mexico awaits.
