Had a quick but great trip to the lake - arrived about 6 PM Wednesday.  Driving in at dusk is gorgeous - the sun setting over all the vineyards and the deer out to graze - saw more than a dozen families of them in the tall fields.  The vineyards are so green and gorgeous after the heavy rains this spring, so everything is just picturesque.  Ed drove the entire trip up so he was pretty wiped out when we arrived, but we had pizza and apple pie and ice cream, then he took a nap on the couch.  Got up to a beautiful morning with deer in the yard right outside the bedroom sliding doors, lots of soaring birds, assorted small critters and sunshine.  We left around noon and headed to Bakersfield so Ed could look at yet another 4-wheel toy and it was a long drive home, but we made it just fine.  His skinny little butt got sore sitting so long, but pillows came to the rescue and made it easier.  Ed really enjoyed getting away and managed to squeeze a lot into the short trip.  Can't wait to go back up to the lake soon!

We're off to UCLA this morning to meet the stem cell transplant doctor, so we're hoping to get some definitive information from that appointment, as well as nail down the next chemo arrangements.  I'll update this afternoon or evening with details.
