Some blessings about cancer.

Wednesday we walked the lake and tried to learn when the women’s club met. We couldn’t. We came home and found a young man pulling weeds in our yard. We learned he was the new lawn care man working for Luke, the one who won the contract. We had a very friendly conversation and he left but came back to replace the gardenias that have died. He planted Japanese pieris. We had never heard of them but they must be hardy and pretty. The young man, Nick, spotted some aphids on our knock-out roses. I found some spray we had bought last year and treated the roses. Evelyn worked on making a salad with chicken in it and we both worked on cleaning the paned windows inside the house. Something Evelyn ate for lunch must have upset her stomach and she had to lie down for a while. She then had to go for a second mammogram that was more painful than usual. The good news was that it seemed to indicate no recurrence of the cancer. I thought it unlikely that her oncologist had missed everything when he examined her in March. The radiologist here recommended a follow up film be made in 6 months. We will talk with the oncologist when we get back to Texas. She rested again until supper time when we had a small sandwich and then went off to choir practice. I practiced some of the music for the LLL convention both before and after our regular practice. We had planned to go to a minor league baseball game tomorrow night with the choir but there are predictions for storms so we cancelled the plan. We did make a plan to go to dinner at Snappy’s restaurant tomorrow with the choir director and her husband. We came home and talked with the Beelis for a while, trying to sort things out concerning the trip in July.
