No news is good news.......in our case, very much so the past couple of days. We've really just had some most enjoyable quiet time, especially today! It's sunny and serene in the backyard - we've been out most of the day soaking up the rays and the fresh air. We took a long and relaxing walk for about 40 minutes this morning - got reaquainted with our neighborhood after feeling away for the past 2 months! Ed's friend Tom Chesari ("TC" from the blog comments almost daily - :) ) came up from Huntington Beach to visit and he helped Ed bring the new patio furniture from the garage to the patio.
After we lost the sun behind the huge trees in the backyard, we moved them down by the firepit, lit the fire ring and enjoyed the warmth! (It's not very warm out today with the breeze, but the sun is irresistible.) Tom left a bit ago after a great visit and Ed is dozing contently in the chair, so I thought I'd dash in and update the blog. By the way, we were enjoying some bird watching with the new binoculars our neighbors Peter and Lyndsay dropped by last week as a wedding gift. For those of you who've known Ed for any length of time.....did you ever think you'd see the day that he would use binoculars to actually watch "wildlife" ????......I mean the kind that doesn't involve a string bikini????? I know...... me either. Thanks, Peter and Lyndsay..... a very thoughtful gift. We appreciate it very much.
Our friends Leo and Georgette will be over later today and Ryan and Chantel as well...... so it will be a nice relaxing and social day. Tomorrow we may go for a drive to get out a little before we settle in for the week of chemo starting Monday, but we'll be around at least part of the day if you want to get a spot on Ed's "dance card".
The fevers are gone, thank goodness, but he'll continue on both antibiotics for another week or so just to make sure. He's been feeling really quite well the past 2 days. Every day this way is a great blessing.
We hope you are all having a splendid weekend with rest, recreation and rejuvenation on everyone's schedule!
Ed & Liz
Ed and Liz, it was great to visit with you guys yesterday; Liz, the house looks fabulous - and Ed, you were quite dapper in your 501's and pressed shirt - I was expecting to see you in a robe and slippers, maybe with a pipe (NOT!). The yard looks beautiful, and it was so nice sitting outside again with you guys, in the place of many a barbeque and party. Looking forward to seeing you again as soon as you're ready for another round of visitors. Love you guys, TC
