February - a good month

I am still feeling well and planning to stay that way. I was so disappointed in myself for not getting Daffodils planted.. But we have a new plan for April which will celebrate the coming of the Spring with flowers. We are going on another barge cruise to Holland where we should be inundated with tulips of all different colors. We will be too late for the daffodils - might have been too cold - it won't be warm in April. So the celebrations continue. We are looking forward to it. There are 4 cabins on the boat (like our honeymoon) but this time the other three are filled. I am hoping for a fun group - but know that John and I will have a great time.

In the meantime we are keeping busy trying to stay strong and fighting colds.  We are currently having a snow day in the adirondacks because o a blizzard today andcan’t dig out the skimobile.  We will find away tomorrow - since I have a Dr appt with a new Doctor tomorrow.

THE CABIN IN WINTER

 In two weeks we are hoping to go to Raquette late. It is so beautiful in the winter but the snowmobile access may not be right. Last year there wasn't enough snow on the Lake to maneuver the snow mobiles. That's what I heard! I hope it will work this year. The colors are soooo pastel!

This past weekend we went to Pittsburgh to see brother John and his wife Rin. Great tour of the city -John's first time there - some great meals and great company. The weekend before was Don Giovonni at the Met. We are keeping bust and enjoying it all.

``` On the medical side, all is going very well, some very minor side effects from the medicine but very livable. Unfortunately, My Oncologist is leaving the St. Francis so I am starting to look for another. Jorge Rathmann has done a great job and I will miss him.

Hope this finds you well and enduring, perhaps even enjoying the cold of winter if you are near me.  Stay in touch,  I enjoy hearing from you.

Happy Valentine's Day.
