Long Day, when you get up at 4 a.m.....but the airport sitting was minimal, as I didn't arrive at the gate till about 20 minutes before boarding time, and then arrived in Denver just in time to board the plane for MPLS. My luggage was one of first off the carousal and Annie was there to pick me up right after I walked out the door. Nice to be home, but miss the fun of the last week. Never a dull moment all week. Being with Kathleen and her family was a pleasure, and getting to meet Eric's wife Laura was great....Seeing all the kids as now adults, and how well they all got along was nice too.
Yesterday we went to a Bakery/Cafe called St.Honore Bakery and had lunch,(food was awesome) then the Japanese Gardens which were awesome as well, and then shopping in the Hawthorne district of Portland a leftover of the Hippie generation that never grew up. But late in the day Kathleen and Gary had to take Christopher to the airport, so, Eric, Laura, Nate and I went to a place called the Salt & Straw that has the worlds best and unusual ice cream. Flavors like Balsamic and Strawberry, or sea salt and caramel, or almond brittle with ganache...a beer and something (I forget) coffee or pear and blue cheese and lemon sorbet with basil. They sound horrid, but tasted so wonderful We got to taste each kind and we all had cones with two different scoops, and then took home two pints with 2 different flavors in each. So before bed we all got a chance to taste. We couldn't not bring some home for Kathleen, Gary and Ginny.
Played some games before and after dinner. Oh, and I won a game of Dixit. I won so few games over the week, I need to mention at least one win. The dinner was a mixture of leftovers and food they needed to get rid of before leaving the house today. So I hugged and kissed everyone goodbye before bed, and did get a few hours sleep before the alarm went off at 4 a.m. this morning. It was a good end to a great week. Tomorrow is chemo again, Love and Prayers, m=
