Things are relatively quiet on the home front. My mom had surgery to remove two lymph nodes that had melanoma in them. Went to the surgeon today and he said he not only removed the two infected nodes but five other and that they were free of melanoma. He also said he sees no reason why she should have to go through radiation or any other treatment with her record. Two years free, remove a lymph node, two years free, remove two plus five lymph nodes. Of course she was glad to hear he felt she did not have to go through radiation. So was I! Sometimes the radiation causes more problems than it can take care of.
Our July 4th celebration included going to church since it fell on a Sunday. Afterwards we had hamburgers and hot dogs cooked on the grill. We also had pasta salad (gluten-free, of course), chips, peanutbutter fudge and gluten-free chocolate cake with peanutbutter icing. M-mm good! Went to Harrisburg to see the fireworks that night.
On Monday July 5th, even though it was hot Rick, Rachel, and I went to play a game of miniature golf. That evening we went to my Aunt's house and played board games. There were six of us around the diningroom table having a lot of fun and enjoying the company of each other.
