At last!

Yes, at last(not a good one mind you), it's snowing! I guess that winter is finally about to rear it's ugly head. That's one thing about New England weather it changes so frequently and so radically. For those of you who do not live around here, the temperature on Wednesday was in the upper 60's and we set all kinds of records for the day. Only three days later - it snows!

We went to see one of my granddaughters play soccer today and that was great. It's especially great at this time of year because it is indoors where it's nice and warm and dry. She scored two goals to just put frosting on the cake.

Other than that, a quiet day and one more day closer to getting back on my feet. It's almost 10 months since the transplant so there are only about 2 more to go - I can hardly wait!

We also ate out at a local Chinese restaurant today and I must say that they are always the most accommodating of people. They know my situation so that always make sure that we are isolated from having anyone around us. Sometimes it makes me feel like I am being "shunned"!

Instead of a scarlet "A" maybe I should wear an orange "L"(orange being the color designated for leukemia) and I won't have to avoid the crowds - they'll avoid me!

All kidding aside, it was another good day in a long run of good days...
