This is a picture of me as we walked past a beautiful bunch of azaleas not too far from our apartment. I was standing about 3 feet off the sidewalk in these people’s yard; I don’t guess they even saw us, but if they did they probably thought it was pretty funny. I couldn’t pass up a picture with the azaleas. Can you believe they let me bum around Houston in that get up and with that stick? I thank God that nobody seems to even notice and we walk peacefully.

This morning we went to a conference at MD Anderson that was wonderful. "Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer Patient Conference." It was so informative! We enjoyed every minute of it and we learned so much. They had great sponsors and we were treated so well. Tomorrow I’ll have to dress up in the T-shirt they gave us and even a pink cowgirl hat (It’s the big Rodeo season here in Houston.) The tables had beautiful live floral centerpieces and they sent those home with us! That was the ticket for me! Those flowers are so beautiful. I’ll be sure to get those pictures on the blog tomorrow.

We came home and had a quick lunch and then went out for our walk. We walked in a great neighborhood and it was really a fun walk. I think I like walking the neighborhood better than the trail because it’s so interesting to see the houses and yards that I don’t even notice that we’re walking.

God is great to give us so many opportunities. I feel truly blessed to have had the learning experience that we had today. I thank God for the awesome weather we are having, too. I’ve been able to walk every day since Tuesday; that’s 5 days! We hope to get home from church tomorrow in time to walk again. I sure thank God for these blessings.
