Ahmedabad India

While in India Val had a business meeting in Ahmedabad, we were there for two days, he was in meetings and I went shopping and site seeing.

The first day I need a scarf so I went to a market that was close to the hotel.  I found some very cool scarfs or dupotas and some friends.  It was hot so after I bought stuff they offered me to sit and they brought me water.  DJ kept trying toto get me to buy more things. I told him I was closed.  We laughed and talked

Man I bought a belt from


The auto rickshaws were very cheep and very nice.  The next day one of them took me to Gandhi's Ashram, where he lived for awhile.  The auto guy waited for me and took me back.  I walked around and took pictures.  It is such a special place there is quite the feeling there.


Then I went back to the hotel, which I had already checked out of because we had a late flight and weren't staying the night,  I ate lunch and got up the courage to go see the city. Armed with a touritst pamphlet I showed it to the auto driver.  They said something about walking because the autos couldn't go where I wanted to go.  I indicated I was fine with walking.  I thought he would drop me off and I would have to find another auto ride back, but he stayed with me and stopped at points of interest.  He was very nice.  No English

A new Adventure

Image
I am starting a new adventure in my life. I have been diagnosed with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. It is in my pancreas and liver. I have been getting to take many tests; like CT Scan, biopsy, MRI, PET, and MUGA. I feel like a pin cushion. I have had radio active sugar water put in me and then waited an hour to take glowing pictures. I didn't glow anywhere I wasn't expecting to so that is good. Yesterday they took some of my blood and put radio active stuff in it then put it back in me. I only needed a 20 minute rest. Before they took pictures of my blood pumping through my heart. While I waited my grandson Adam called. He made the wait fly by. Today I get to have a port put in so they can give me chemo. For this test I can't drive myself home so Val is coming with me. This is the one that makes it all seem real. One never wants to have stage 4 cancer. It has come on so gradual always giving information out a little at a time. So the adventure begins.

The Unexpected

Image
On one of my walks on the river trail in Spanish Fork I was taking photographs with my new camera and I saw this blue flower blowing in the wind.  So I took a few shots and one turned out so stunning.  I am amazed  and so glad I was able to capture the beauty of this flower. Sometimes in life the things that we think are average turn out to be extraordinary.  We are like this flower, whether in the mist of trials or regular life we can find the beauty in our lives.
