One Daisy Hangs With Me.

There are a few more daisies in the garden, but I was letting everything finish up before we leave.  This daisy wanted to stay bright to the end for me.  There are 4 more magnolia blooms on the tree, but they aren't open, yet.  I hope Olya will keep an eye on them and cut them and enjoy them when they are ready.  It's time for me to wash the vases.  When we come back it'll be time to fix my eyes and then I can really see whatever is left to bloom.  I'm hoping there will be some re-blooming irises this fall and I also hope the 'live forever' will be blooming.  I don't cut it and bring it in, but I'll bring in the irises if they perform for me.  Weather has been so different this year; it'll be interesting to see how the re-bloomers do.

We've got the truck loaded.  Only our last minute toiletries and cold things (drinks for the trip and my medicine) are left to take with us as we go in the morning.  I've got plenty of reading to do, bookwork to do and mending to do, so I'm looking forward to the drive.  We're stopping just south of Dallas for lunch with my good friend, who is like a sister to me; that will be a big treat, too.  Then we'll be at our home away from home with Doris and Jerry tomorrow night. We're looking forward to seeing lots of friends and family on this trip.  I won't have any results to report until Tuesday night, but I will report right here just as soon as I know anything.  Thank you for your support and prayers on this whole breast cancer journey.  It's a good feeling to know there are so many good people in this foxhole with me!
