Today, although your body may not agree with you, you can rejoice in the “independence” from the needles you must feel at the moment! How wonderful! My hunch is that the fireworks tonight will be especially bright! Enjoy them from your special perch!

I’m also wondering how Alphie will react to the sights and sounds of the day! If only you could train him to shake weeds and such things!

Love, Irene

Have a happy 4th – I’m glad your round is over and after the all the dust has settled you are still standing!

Thank God for that.

Does your paper carry the comic strip “Funky”? One female character is in your chemo situation and has an old man next to her making dry,(sometimes questionable!)commentary. One is supposed to be entertained but somehow it loses the humor in the face of reality.

When one is the size of Alphie, it is best not to argue I think. Perhaps he needs a steel post sunk in cement to shake about. Charles could attach leaves and/or fake flowers to it… let Alphie drag that away! There surely is some cosmic joker somewhere putting ideas for mayhem in the “tiny brain” of any beast larger than a cocker spaniel. !
As Charles is wont to say, “And what have we learned from this?”
Have a good weekend, shot free. C
