Day 5 of 6 for chemo...last day Monday (of the second cycle)...Monday will be day 21 of 35 for radiation...
Today was a pretty good day for Linda....after a rare Saturday chemo session, we headed to Portland to look at some possible properties and to attend a picnic for Oregon Education Association staff retirees.
Linda suffered most of the day (and the previous night) with the esophagitis.....and a headache. What was miraculous was that when Linda got to the picnic and saw old acquaintances and friends...it was as if every problem disappeared for the moment..she even ate good! I think people expected Linda to be a "shadow" of what she looked like tonight..but her positive attitude and love and openess for people showed as a glow in her tonight....she was energized!
It was good to see some good, good people we hadn't seen in a long time.....we hope they stop by the house from time to time to spread more of whatever it was that energized Linda tonight.
We looked for a property and/or a house south of Portland this afternoon..not much available out there. Tomorrow we are going to look in southern Washington along the river and then some additional properties south of Portland.

Linda & Dave,
Sure was good to see you both at the picnic. Linda looked good and the many smiles showed how she was feeling. Nothing like friends...
Keep it going. Barb will be sending a little something soon.
Linda it was so good to visit with you and David...I am sorry I stayed so long, but I was having such a good visit, I didn't realize how time had flown by until I looked at the clock in my car...hope I didn't tire you too much. I loved seeing you, and hope to do it again soon. One hug is never enough!
Linda, you are so beautiful with that GREAT smile. I want some of that attitude. Are you selling it? I imagine Nurse Dave make sure you do all the right thing. Keep it up!!!!!!! Prayers are continuing in NE.
Love, Janet
Linda - Having you in the picture with us only heightens your beauty. Talk about a rose amongst the thorns! Great to see you Saturday. I'll stay in touch.
