Whirlwind

What a whirlwind of activity since my last posting!  


I've been to Denver to visit my son, daughter in law and two grand kiddies. That was a blast!  I'll be posting pictures later. 


Last weekend I hoped to get to Arizona to visit Mary's son and grand daughter but that didn't work out. I hope I can get see them before the end of the year.  


Last night I hosted a potluck for a group of 8 friends.  Our terrible weather (50 degrees and a sprinkle of rain) caused horrible traffic jams last night so no one managed to arrive at 7, but everyone was there by 8.  We had the herb roasted chicken from Lundardi's plus salad, veggies and fruit to make a very nice meal.  There was lots of laughter and it was a very good time.  


Two of my dearest friends are fighting cancer.  Both had surgery within the past couple of months (September and October) and both are doing radiation as a follow up.  One is almost done with her radiation sequence while the other will be starting her radiation treatment soon. The prognosis for both friends is very good, but cancer is cancer and it can be a sneaky, nasty bastard.  


All in all, stumbling towards the end of the year and the holidays. 


Ciao!
