I had a wonderful weekend at our trailer on Clear Lake. The weather was alittle cold but it was so nice to be up there. Our friends, Jeff and Christine stayed with us and we had so much fun. Matter of fact, they had so much fun they bought a trailer in our park, so they are neighbors here at home and at the lake. They are so excited about the beautiful trailer they got. Lots more memories will be made.
Saturday night our trailer park owners put on a BIG party and provide all the food. I ate so much including some wonderful desserts. We got to see everyone in the park and visit too. They had a band and DJ who play music until 10:00PM and then everyone went over to Richmond Park and dance the night away.
Sunday we spent all day and evening at Konotic Casino. I didn't go in because our friends Jane and Steve had their 5th wheel in the RV Park, so Mia and I stayed there visiting with everyone. We had dinner in Lakeport at "The Park Place" which was a very nice place. Mark played alittle more and I watch the fireworks show the casino put on and we were home and in bed by 9:30PM. Today we got up early made breakfast and drove to Potter Valley to see Mark's Mom. We got her some things at the store and did little odd ball chores for her. We had a nice visit. She is doing ok. She finished her chemo and the doctor said so far the disease is in remission. Thank God. We pray for her every day. I don't want her to be in pain.
I got home around 3:00PM and today I took Decadron so of course I'm wired up. I went grocery shopping, did laundry, made a banana cream pie for dessert and unpack. I'm making my onion soup potatoes and steaks tonight for dinner. YUMMM!
Tomorrow is chemo day at 11:00AM. I'm sad because tomorrow is heart transplant support meeting and I can't go because of chemo but I will be there next month. I miss seeing everyone, especially Tippi. We were going to go together and have a girls day but that can't happen now. I want to go over and spend time with her. We have so much fun together!
Erin goes to the doctor again tomorrow and I will have a new picture of my new grand baby on the blog tomorrow night. She is doing great and said we should see more in this picture. They are going to know the sex by November. I don't care what the sex is I'm just thankful and blessed that I will be here to welcome my new grand child. Thank God and my angel Jazmin in heaven.
The fundraiser was a complete success and I raised $4,000.00 towards the headstone. I will be able to donate in Jazmin's name $500.00 to Breast Cancer on the 25th of September when I go to the cancer walk in Los Angeles. I'm so excited to donate this money in my Auntie Mary Joan's name and my dear friend, Kathy Conley, who is a 5 year breast cancer survivor. I will also be celebrating my one year heart transplant date. Will it be a celebration, in a way but I will never forget and always be grateful to Jazmin. I will spend Sept. 22nd with Evelyn, Ben and the girls going to the cemetery to put flowers on Jazmin and Jamae's grave. I wish the headstone was placed but it will be there soon! I'm so grateful to my family and friends who donated to achieve Jazmin's dream! Thank you!
I forgot to say, that I have pictures from the fundraiser but I'm having trouble getting them on the blog. Some are really small and backwards. I'll keep trying to get them on. Christine did a wonderful job taking pictures of everyone. There are so many great shots!
Well have to get dinner going but wanted everyone to know I'm doing great. This weekend was full of memories I will cherish forever. To think last year at this time I was so sick and didn't even know if I would be here this year to attend our trailer park party, do the fundraiser or dream of holding my new grand child. Life is short and I will not take it for granted. I'm going to enjoy every moment!
How about you!
Love,
Debbie
