If I ever get the picture to post it will be Elise, Ethan and Kyle sitting on one of the porches at Big Cedar. See the redbud in bloom behind them? It was really beautiful out there. Those are in bloom all over Branson, along with Bradford Pears . . . beautiful treat from God!
What a full day this has been! We got a call this morning from one of our friends in Hawaii, who needs a house sitter for a month this summer. So I called our other friend to see if he has a trip planned that we might sit at two places in one trip. You know how greed works! He does, indeed, need to make a trip, so he's going to check on getting tickets, scheduling, etc. Needless to say I spent a lot of time today checking out frequent flyer miles and flight schedules. I'm kind of drooling; don't know if it will happen or not, but it's fun to dream.
This afternoon we watched and took pictures while the kids did the race track thing. Then we all went over to the Grand Village and shopped (didn't buy anything). Then we finished the day off with dinner at Mel's Hard Luck Diner. It was fun. The waitresses and waiters sing! Two of the waiters have been finalists on American Idol, so they were all really good. It was like dinner with a show. We're packed and ready to go early in the morning.
A couple of weeks ago our friend, Jo Ann (of the card playing group; you've read about her before and seen her picture on this blog), had a mammogram that revealed need for a biopsy. She had the biopsy last week and saw the doctor today to get the results. She does, indeed, have breast cancer, but it is self contained and early, so they aren't going to do chemo or radiation. Her choice is to have a double mastectomy, though, so they will do that around the middle of April. I tell you this because I want you to realize how frequent breast cancer is. I know that we all know the numbers, but if you feel it better because it has happened to me and a very close friend, then it's good. I thank God that hers has been found early and they really don't feel threatened by it, I'm sure, since they aren't doing chemo or radiation. Of course I'd feel better if she were going to MD Anderson, but this is not about me. We will be with her every possible step of the way. She'll do just fine. She teaches school and her school year will end the middle of April; a sub will finish out the year for her. Please add her to your prayer list.
