Hi everybody,


I just wanted you to know that I am going wandering again. This time I am going on a cruise from Lisbon to Rome. I will be gone until October 7th. I have been working really hard this summer and I am really tuckered out! And as most of you are aware it has been a trial to be started on insulin. But I am packing up my syringes, food, glucometer, insulin and starting out again with my husband. I won't have internet access so I won't be able to keep up with you while I am gone. So I'll have to do an awful lot reading when I come back. I have a book to read. Have any of you read The Healing Quilt? I am afraid that it might be too much of a tear jerker. And I have a new Christmas cross stitch design that I would like to stitch. I got a new pedometer to take with me. I am bound and determined to make 10,000 steps in one day! Haven't managed to make 5,000 yet but perhaps by the end of the two weeks I will be there.


Please watch out for Denise. I want her pregnancy to stay on track!! I will think about all of you while I am gone. It doesn't pay to be a mother hen! I have a lot of things to do before I leave but I will try and check in again before I leave on Thursday.


See you in two weeks,

Mary Frances

Oh Mary Frances, I am so jealous of you going to Rome. I have always wanted to go there to see all the beautiful art work they have there. You just relax and enjoy yourself, which we all will be expecting a full report on everything you saw and did while there since many of us have to live through you on this journey. I so hope you do not have any bad problems with lows, but I know you will check yourself regularly to keep that from happening. I look forward to hearing how many steps you manage to take while on vacation since we all are more likely to take more with trying to see all the great sites. Good for you in getting yourself a new pedometer, because those really do help to get our feet moving more. I want to hear about that book, because I do love a good read especially with being on bed rest. How wonderful that you got a new cross stitch design to do since I find it to be so helpful in getting myself to relax while taking my mind off of things.


Do not worry about me, because I am being monitored very well and have a nurse who comes to the house once a week to check on things. Oh, I also just got an aid to help me out in the house so that I am not on my feet so much and she begins Thursday so the both of us should be just fine. So you just kick back relax and enjoy yourself. Have a safe and fabulous vacation, which you so deserve it!

MaryFrances~

This is probably too late, but have a wonderful, safe trip. Want to see pictures when you return, ok?

I'm trying to keep track of Denise as a good "cyber-auntie" should.
