Hi, Clappy, I envy you and your family for the upcoming camping trip...spent a week in the Adirondacks a few years ago, and it won our hearts.... some of our happiest memories are those of our annual camping vacation with our children...the tents were usually used to hold our gear and supplies, for we loved sleeping under the stars on cots...we camped along Texas' Frio River (translation: Cold River),and what a blast! days began with the smell of bacon and coffee in the air, and staying in our swimsuits all day as we floated on inner tubes all day long...even under very hot weather, one would swear that ice cubes floated alongside us..evenings always ended with the roasting of marshmellows and the telling of tall tales. everything is doing great with the family...daughter, Erika, just had her 3 month cancer check-up in Houston yesterday, and we are thrilled that she is still cancer-free... the 2 year "critical period" will be up in October, and i hope that with time Cancer thoughts will not pop up on a daily basis. I agree with Polvie that "it's the pursuit that brings the pleasure in our lives," and believe that we must have a dream in order to pursue happiness. I am stumped at present as to what i would long to do (always thought i would love to ride a Harley)...i think that i am still overcoming the health issue shock that we have been in the last 2 years to have any dreams for myself, but i recently noticed that i am beginning to desire small things for myself, which is good....at this point, all i want is good health for my family. i had been away from the computer for months and months, and just recently checked in on NNBM...it always leaves me with smiles or laughter, for i swear, i cannot believe you are all so "quick" and good with words and wit...Rosie, you are truly the queen ...what a great life you and Harold share in your gorgeous part of the world... my best to all of you, the gang, and please know that i enjoy reading your posts...best wishes!
