Friends and Blessings

I am sitting here now at home resting after a 20 mile bike ride with my friends.  The weather has been beautiful for outdoor exercise.  It was in the mid 60's when we started out this morning and when we finished it was in the upper 70's.  The bike trails are beautiful this year from all the rain.  The wooded areas and wild flowers are thick and green.

I'm enjoying my me time with the girls.  We stopped off in the historic Tipp City for lunch at a little cafe that had the best coconut cake.  I did however eat a great vegetarian sandwich before indulging in the cake which was so good that I almost licked the plate.   It is so relaxing to be back socializing with my friends.  Thank goodness we had to ride back 10 miles to burn off that delicious cake.

I just realized that it has been three months since our last visit to MD Anderson Cancer Center.  The reality of not having to make the trip across the country to Texas is sinking in.  It is such a relief and a true blessing for my husband.  We both are spending time doing our own thing.  Yeah, we get three more months before he goes back for a checkup.  We miss our Texas friends and family, but not the long trip.  I think this calls for a celebration.  A celebration for life, love and happiness.

Many blessings to those who have touched our life and helped us get to a renewed life at the end of the rainbow.  Dreams do come true with love and determination.  Life is beautiful !!
