Happy Father's Day

Good morning friends and Happy Father's Day to all the dad's out there and all the mom's playing both roles.  I know my mom has been both to me for nearly 42 years.  I am spending my day with my mom in honor of Father's Day.

Mom is in a great mood today! She is so excited about our trip. That has been our conversation over coffee this morning.  I have to admit I am totally hype about our trip too.  Memories and lots of photo's is my agenda for those 12 days.  I want to get lots of photo's because I doubt I will ever travel back to Hawaii again in my life time. LOL

Today we are all going to Monroeville to Grandpa's to celebrate with family.  I am so blessed to have gained such great family when I married Challa.  I just love it!

Connor's baseball season is nearly over, I think we play one more game tomorrow night and then we are done.  At least he is done because of vacation he will not be here to play during the tournament.

Mom's cancer count is down to 7 which is great! That means the chemo is working and that was tested a couple weeks ago.  It may be lower now since she has had two treatments since then.  She says she knows the chemo is working she can tell.  Although this morning the bottoms of her feet are burning which is a side effect of Taxol and not a good thing.  Hopefully it won't get any worse and we can continue on this treatment regimen.  Taxol also causes the hair loss which she has escaped up until this past week.  Now her hair is coming out and we are probably going to have to shave her head before vacation.  But I keep telling her she has three beautiful wigs and several turbons that she can wear.  I also got her a big floppy hat to wear in Hawaii to keep the sun off of her.

Well, not much more to say today.  It's going to be a good one.

Until next time.....
