Mother's Day Weekend for Three!

What a wonderful weekend!  Daughter Karen and I spent some time celebrating Mother's Day as the guest of daughter Jillian of Bella Rosa Antiques.

These are some shots of the Atlantic Ocean as a tropical storm off the coast of North Carolina whipped the waves up a touch!

The old fishing pier looks strong enough to handle it though!  It has been there for many years, through many storms.
This is where we stayed - right on the boardwalk.  There is a pool to the right of it where there are deck chairs to sit in and watch the people passing by or the waves rolling in - your choice.

We also shopped, laughed, and did some antiquing where Karen scored some pink depression (go along) glasses to add to her real depression dishware.  Jillian found a small glass tabletop display case for some jewelry perhaps?  All in all, we had a fun time together and it had been too long since we were all able to just "get away" and they also wanted to celebrate my getting through the tough time in February and March/April. Thank you so much!

Also, I want you all to know how well I am doing since breast cancer entered my life.  The radiation went very smoothly and the doctor is amazed at how well my skin recovered from the 30 radiation treatments. I visited my surgeon in Philadelphia on the 10th of May and he was very pleased also with how well I am healing from the lumpectomy in February.  Soon I will be starting on the medication I will be taking for five years.
 I thank you all for your prayers and would ask you to continue to pray for my continued good results as I persevere on this journey.
