Friends in India

I love coming to India the best part is the people I get to meet. Sunday my friend Fatithima was having her daughter blessed. I was so glad we could be there on that occasion.  Here is a picture with her and her baby and my other friend Glory.  



I met some new friend's Amrita Korsa, Geetha Rajesh, and Ujvala Ramesh


Also Lynda Dunna came to visit with her new son Ethan. He has such cute black curly hair.  

I am so grateful for all the friends I have met.  Val's employees are very nice and are helping me learn about their culture.  At lunch time I usually eat with Luna and Sw  We would tell about each others cultures.  They would ask many questions like do all older women have short hair.  Barbara Bush and many other celebrates, and myself have short hair I told them many women have short hair even young women.  It is rare to have short hair here in India.


Luna from work took me to a dance performance. It was fun to see.  We were seated in the front seat where there were couches and box snacks to eat some savory and sweet.  The perfomers were from Canada but from Indian decent.  

My stay in India was cut short because Val was needed in a meeting in the Bay Area, so today is my last day here and tonight at 1 in the morning we will start our trek home.  I am sad to leave I have had a wonderful time.  Can't wait to come back.


 We went and played cricket while I learned to make silk bangles.



 Food that I ate.

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.
