This has been an emotional, scary, sad day hearing that my cousin (who just had her 63rd birthday on Tuesday) had surgery for a cancerous brain tumor. Karen lives in FL but was vacationing in Palm Springs, CA. Her sister from CO is with her. The really bizarre thing about this is that another cousin, Clarine (both from different sides of my family) was diagnosed with this same condition last February. AND....both Clarine and Karen were bridesmaids in our wedding. Also....Karen was our "tour guide" in Budapest this past April before we started our European river cruise with Paul and Kathy. Praying big time for her recovery and hoping we can get together when we return to the east coast in early March.
We had a nice day with cool, cloudy, windy conditions.....so unlike the warm sunny days we've had. I walked to Gioia's for a manicure. Elizabeth (who also cut Mark's hair about 10 days ago) is so nice and found out her son is working on his masters' degree at Milliken University - not that far from home. Elizabeth's family lives in Charleston, SC and she so wants to go visit (18-hour drive from Marathon). I had told her we would be going there with our boat in March and she begged me to take her along....she promised to cook, clean, give me all the manicures, pedicures, facials, etc. that I could possibly want......whoaaaa....told Mark this just might be too good a deal to pass up! HA!
Mark did more paperwork and phone call for funeral details for his family and I finished the thank you notes for now. So grateful for the many donations made in "Dad's" memory.

Jane and Joe are letting us borrow their car for the weekend so we can check out some RV parks - the plan is to bring Daisy down here next January. We had an appetizer and drink by the water at Sunset Grill - so pretty, but a little nippy. Then to Lazy Days for yummy sandwiches. Supposed to warm up tomorrow! The locals love the cooler temps.
Tomorrow we will scout out where we might want Daisy next year...

So sorry to hear about your cousin. Prayers for her and good thoughts for her during this grave time. Cold here and it rained every day this week. Saw sun for first time today, but all the inclement weather left us cold. Another front is going to come through early next week. Tuesday it is not supposed to get above 40. Think of us in this cold climate while you are basking in those warm temps. Trying to get the hang of this new computer, but it is complicated in so many ways. We also bought an iPad last weekend. Brooke stopped by on Tuesday and got it going. Bob has been experimenting with it all week, but it just takes time I guess. Have a good week and will keep your cousin in our thoughts. That is very weird that you would have two close family diagnosed with the same illness in the last year. Was she visiting Budapest with her daughter when you met up with them and if I remember correctly, she goes there every year???
I am also thinking about getting an iPhone, but my brain is telling me that it just can't handle all these new devices at one time. OH, what to do!!!! Just too many decisions about this new technology. Am reading a good book. Sandra Brown's Low Pressure. Also heard some recommendations about another good book. Can't quite remember the correct title, but it is something between the oceans, I think??? Will try to find the correct title and pass it on. Hope you can make sense of this rambling. Anyway, safe travels. Love, JudyB
