Counting Down.....

Well everyone--I know you are probably tired of hearing about this darn countdown! But about 6 months of my life have been given over to this, so counting down the last six days is pretty big for me. Dr. Yu gave the green light today for "The Boost" as they call it, the last five days heavy hitting radiation right on the scar where the tumors came out. Still no blisters, and the creme is keeping the sunburned-looking skin somewhat comfortable. Lucky me at this point.

Cora and Hannah and I baked a big batch of my Southern style chocolate chip cookies while they were here. We ate about 1/3 between all of us here, sent about 1/3 home with them for the other Dedes, and I will take the last 1/3 to Ray and Judy's Friday night. Al Knepler is in town, and we will get together there for a nice lenten dinner of some kind I'm sure. My cookies are a hit with Ray and Al. In fact, Al almost expects a container to take back on the train to Chicago. In another year or so, he will retire and move back to Quincy. He plans to buy a condo. I am sure we will be seeing a lot of him when he gets back here.

Tonight on Dancing With the Stars, I think they name the new contestants for next year. Better get supper mess cleaned up so I can watch. I am getting to be a TV junkie with the dancing and the singing. Has anyone figured out whose line is "Keep a song in your heart?"

I believe I know as I believe I saw this person on a recent talk show. However, I've been wrong before!! Time to research!!
