I enjoyed MBJ's Ode! :) That park was quite something - I am so glad I got to be there and see it for myself. Mother Nature is amazing - the different flowers, mushrooms and trees - never dull. I am thankful to that park for allowing you happiness and little moments of space between treatment weeks - I'd say that was a blessing really.Carrienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-74429389744354388502012-07-03T01:15:46.976-04:002012-07-03T01:15:46.976-04:00Oh, your Ode to Lithia Springs makes me sad.

I hope you and David feel at peace settling in there for this next life chapter... the one that will help put these terrible challenges behind you and lead you into a better life that allows good health and free travel in Winnona. Many of us take our health for granted. Seeing David's challenges, I will never do this again. I have always said to my friends that one phone call can change an entire life. We are with you on this journey every day. We are busier than usual now, as we settle into "family reunion week" and "beach week at the Outer Banks." Our girls are all coming. I sensed a tone of relief after you accomplished this move. I know you will miss Lithia Springs and all of its beauty. I think both of you need to jump in the new pool and cool off! We are ready to come down and do whatever we can to help after the beach week.carol boydnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-12834643286487304542012-07-02T07:04:44.434-04:002012-07-02T07:04:44.434-04:00It looks like a nice site.

I'm sure you'll revisit Lithia next winter when all this is behind you, and you'll see even more of its beauty because your mind won't be burdened with worry.<br /><br />David is SO strong, and he's got you at his side. He couldn't be better armed going into this phase of treatment. Just hold on to the love you have for one another.<br /><br />Keep us posted as you can.

Quail Run is one of the places we considered applying to as workampers, as its not too far from Homosassa, but the gentleman we spoke to at the Tampa RV show said it was very difficult to get in there as most of their workampers returned each year. I will be interested in your imoressions of the place. Al and I are very discouraged at the work opportunities (rather, the lack of paying ones)in Florida for the winter, and have elected to do sugarbeets and Amazon again, and take off the time between Christmas and Easter...unless you can talk them into using us! :-).Al and Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02991509802471213755noreply@blogger.com
