Lazy days at the beach

-
Who could ask for anything more if you are a beach lover like all four of us?

 Long days, collecting shells, reading, Elliott going bike riding, watching the spinner sharks
 and the girls having the times of their lives.

These giant herons??? were seen where we are staying. Fount out that they are called Sandhill herons. 
It is a rainy day. We may just chill but after the windy day on the beach yesterday and the girls grooming, that isn't such a bad idea. I haven't written in awhile. It is already Feb. 6 and we have decided to stay here for Feb 15 to Mar 15 instead of going to Beverly Beach Campground in Flagler Beach because we like it here, the beach is great (no bug bites) and there is so much to do. 

 A couple more pics:




After their grooming
On rainy days we've been going to the movies (saw 4 Oscar nominated movies) and actually there have been few days with rain. Some wind for sure!! but we use our umbrella to block the wind. 


We lost a member of the Jewish community to cancer. She was only 49 and Elliott's brother is having surgery for colon cancer. Every day is a gift for us. 

Today, Feb. 6 we saw a giant turtle - I mean giant- in the water. I'm afraid he was sick. I don't like to think about it but what a site!

 We have been going out to eat a couple of times a week and tonight there is a pot luck at the campground.

Cancer: I'm Scared

2/21/2022 I don't know what triggered this feeling. I have been fine. Last night we were with the grandkids, other grandparents, the grandkids' parents and a couple of others. Maybe being in such a happy gathering did it. I am not going to speculate but I came home and cried.  I cried for my daughters and my best friend who lives on the other side of the country. I cried in fear of what I would hear from the BRCA test. I cried for what was.

After Surgery: What is it like

 3/15/2022 Although I am on pain meds and a little loopy, I wanted to get my surgery day down before I forget. I don't know if this is the protocol of all breast surgeries, but I saw a lot of people!  At 7:45 I was taken into the pre-op area where I was asked my name and birthdate a dozen times. So many times, that when a woman walked in, I just said my name and birthdate. She laughed and said that she knew my name but not my birthdate. "I'm Dr. Baker." Well of course I didn't recognize her. I only met her one time, and she had a net on her head and a mask and plastic covering her face. She had on scrubs so there was no white coat. In any case I was asked by lots of nurses health questions, got an IV put in with at some point saline and an antibiotic and off I went to Nuclear Medicine and saw a machine that looked like it was from outer space. I wondered if this is also the radiation machine but I didn't ask. Mitch, an RN, spent a long time explaining what wou
