Wow can't believe how fast 17 days goes by. That should be a lesson to me. Time is short and live life each and everyday.
I have had a blast even with the problems we had this past week. I spent precious time with Bob and Cindy Keyes. It was the best! I enjoyed their company and will never forget the moments we had together.
Today we left Klamath Falls, Oregon for Crescent City. It took about 4 hours to get here. We are staying the night in a RV Park right on the beach. It is beautiful to look out at the ocean and the waves. The park isn't the best but it has all the hookups including WIFI and cable.
Just dropped Mark off at the casino up the street and I will join him about 8PM for dinner. I have a little quiet time and of course he enjoys the time playing at the casino. Mia is so tired because Mark and I walked the beach and she ran after all the little squirrels hiding in the rocks on the beach. The squirrels are very friendly but we stay away because I'm afraid they will bite. The weather is nice with little sun but warm. I guess the rain is coming and that's why it is warm outside. We will leave early around 7 in the morning back to Santa Rosa. We have a 5 hour drive home and we have lots to do. The tow dolly must be returned and the motor home cleaned. It will be nice to be home!
I have lots going on at home this next week. First and more importantly is lab work and chemo. As I said before I left, I met with the doctor from Stanford and my numbers have been going up and they want to be more aggressive with treatment. So starting next week I will take chemo 3 times a month. I'm not looking forward to that because I'm getting sick, sore and tired from the chemo now. That means 3 times a month or 3 weeks out of 4 I will be sick, sore and tired. I hate it! I appreciate the time I have had these past 17 days. I didn't think about my sickness, chemo and doctor appointments. All I thought about was how lucky I am to see the places I saw and spend time with Bob, Cindy and of course Mark. But now back to reality! I know I should be happy I have been doing well. I know life is precious and each moment is a gift!
I look forward to more time seeing new places. I don't know if it will be with a motor home but I will be traveling more. This summer I plan to spend as much time as possible at the lake. I feel so good when I'm there and now having chemo so much I want to relax and enjoy it.
I have all these thoughts of wanting to scream out and say "Enjoy life and live for every moment". I hate hearing someone tell me "oh I always wanted to do a motor home trip". No don't say, "always wanted to" DO IT!
I'm happy I did it!
Love,
Debbie

Hi Debbie This is Jill! Just had dinner with you at the Casino in CC. ;) I write this with tears in my eyes...It was such a pleasure meeting you! You are a lovely woman with a beautiful spirit. I wish my fiance could have met you too. I think you two would have found a lot to talk about. I could have chatted with you all night and listened to your stories of all your adventures! I so hope you and your husband get an opportunity to go through Stout Grove on your way out. You will fall in love with it, I promise! So did your hubby win?? Either way he has you so that makes him the biggest winner! I said I don't believe in luck and I, like you, think that timing is everything. I believe that God's hand guides us to where we should be when we should be there. Like tonight...I do not know what Paul's and my future holds, but I feel you may play some roll in it. If, to just get him to relax and make some moments of our own...
My daughter and I will keep you in our prayers especially with all you are facing next week. God bless you and grant you good traveling and more great adventures on your way home.
Jill
