New Blog: COMPLETED PAINT JOB AND TRAVEL PLANS
UPDATE: NEW PAINT JOB AND A TRIP TO PROVENCE...
Soooo, included here are a couple of pictures of my completed sponged walls in our kitchen, dining area. I love it! The color is a Tuscan terracotta/orange and the trim is green - it looks super with the bricks in the fireplace and the rug. It certainly brightens the room.
Next big news is my upcoming trip to Provence with two friends from my yoga class. We found a darling little house in a small village near Aix for only $600 a week (see the link to the website here:
http://www.georgeannebrennan.com/village_house.php ) so we figured we just couldn't pass it up! We leave in two weeks and we'll be there for 16 days. We plan to do a lot of people watching - sitting in cafes sipping wine and just enjoying our freedom. We also want to visit farmers' markets and flea markets, of which there are many. I am planning to take my laptop and will keep a journal our many adventures. Don't know if I will be able to post them from there since I've heard that WiFi access is very limited, but I will get them up on my Travel blog at some point. I'll send a link for that in case you are interested.
I don't know how many of you know how much I enjoy traveling. I have been to many countries - 13 of them on a 3 1/2 month shipboard trip I took in 1993 with Semester at Sea, a program designed for college students in which they took courses for credit while we were crossing the Pacific and returning by way of the Atlantic with many bodies of water in between. They take some adult passengers if they have not filled the spots available on board (and we were welcome to participate in all the classes or activities that the students were involved in). I was one of them - it was quite a trip. But since then I have been to France, Italy, Switzerland, and now France again (Provence). I love meeting the people and just seeing how they live, and there are a lot more countries out there that I would like to visit!
As far as my chemo and condition is concerned, last week they couldn't do the chemo because my blood counts were too low. I am scheduled for it this week and, hopefully, they will have "recovered" since then. I have some minor aches and pains but I'm not sure if they are related to the cancer or not. I really won't know that until some scans are done after my next three chemos which won't start until I get back from France (June 5th). Since I meet with my oncologist this Wed. I'll ask her what she thinks.
