Summertime

Happy Summer! How I love summer and wish I could spend the entire time at the beach! It's funny how with each season you spend your time differently. Summer days are longer but somehow I still can't fit in everything I need to get done. Maybe it's because I want to spend all of my time outside, but things like cleaning and groceries still need to get done. Oh well, enough about that.

So I've heard from 4 of you that you read this blog! I guess I can't let down ALL my fans and not continue to keep this blog updated. Of course, most of you are reviewing this to get updates on how Ed is doing with his cancer treatments. The good news is that there's not much to report.

Ed had his biweekly chemo treatment this week. This is the second one without Irinotecan and all continues to go well. His appts are much shorter without the Irinotecan and so this week after his appt he got my car inspected and the oil changed and then he went to play golf (he's in a golf league and plays every week). Still the occasional body aches, but don't we all experience those? And he thinks his hair is getting thicker which makes him quite happy.

And that's my cancer update! No news is good news and we're certainly not complaining. In other random news...

On Memorial Day weekend, Ed and Dan replaced the slider in our kitchen. It's been on the list for a long time so I'm excited that it's finally done. Of course, this picture doesn't show it all done with the trim, but that's done now as well.



And while the boys worked on that, I made my flag cake since Dan requested it.



Last Saturday, Dan and I stopped at my sister Cathy's. With the help of Momma Jean, Cathy, Nick, and Amanda, we picked some fresh, yummy, sweet strawberries.



I then stopped at Atkins and got some rhubard and tried out a new Strawberry Rhubard Squares recipe. Something special for Father's Day. The boys loved it and something different from the traditional pie. (Thanks Theresa for the pan...it was the perfect size!)



And for Father's Day, Ed enjoyed the Lemon-cello and Chocolate Rum that Dan brought back from Italy.







So what can I say. We're boring! But I'll continue to keep you updated and share our boredom with you. Drop me an email or leave a comment to let me know you're still out there! Enjoy the summertime! We certainly will!
