Back from Nantucket

What a great time Carrie and I had on Nantucket! My cousin Dave and his family flew us out to join them on the island for a week. We had a great time wandering around the beaches and eating fish and shell fish every day, sharing time with Dave, Shirley, Eleanor, and Henry, and Carrie. Such dear hearts.... What a gift.
It was wonderful to get to see Carrie every day. I miss that. She celebrated her birthday while we were there, with fresh raspberry pie (Shirley and I went into the thickets to pick...) and fresh lobster. Wow!
We were stuck in airports for almost 24 hours...finally into DIA yesterday morning. I jumped on the shuttle back to my car in Ft. C and raced over to the Cancer Center for chemo. What a bummer-all rested from vacation and then no sleep (sitting in Newark airport overnight) and chemo.

It is mind boggeling to me that I have had so many treatments and am still doing so well. What a lucky person I am, for sure. But, I do have those moments, like I did when we left Nantucket...I hope I will see them again. Is this my last summer? Such a weird thing. I have great and wonderful times, normal days...with those painful intrusions. Knowing that it can change, but living like it won't...
Thank you all for helping me live like it won't...for making my days so rich and full. Again I say...I am so lucky.

I hope you all have a grand weekend. Farmer's market tomorrow morning (I love the market-such a cheerful place!) and then more fresh stuff when I get my CSA on Sunday. The CSA (community supported agriculture) has been wonderful. A delivery of fresh stuff every week.

hugs,
