RELAYING FOR LIFE!

Well, loyal readers, if you are still out there, I am still standing - actually walking!  Last night I participated in the American Cancer Society Relay for Life in Pawtucket.  My "Team" pictured above, included Beth of course, Beth's brother Donny, his wife Trish, daughter Madelin, and my niece Sarah who came over from Albany NY with her beautiful brood of four - Thomas, age 13, Jacob, age 10, and twins Isabel and Isaac, age 6.  The Pawtucket Relay was rather sparsely attended, but the enthusiastic group walked around the Pariseau Field next to the PawSox stadium, danced, played games and celebrated LIFE.  We raised over $500 for the cause, thanks to the generosity of family and friends.

I am completing my 6 month sabbatical researching autism in college, a fascinating project.  I look forward to returning to work, actually, although leaving our wonderful yard in the summer is hard!  I am still in chemo weekly, but only 2.5 hours each time - and the tumors are shrinking!  Will try to be more attentive to this blog - thanks for reading!! xxx
