Most of you know that DH is long-time prof and administrator at Rutger's - I call him Mr. Rutgers - since over 40 years he has had his fingers in a lot of pies concerning the university. He enjoys participating in all the formal procedures, so this week - he has gone to 5 commencement exercises. Of course they love for the faculty to be a part of the ceremonies - in their colorful robes, etc. So - tonight he is going to the last one - the evening commencement for the University College - adult school for students who work and take classes at night. Conflicting with this was a party at the home of friends - also in the physics dept. - and I had wanted to go - 2 of our long-time friends are retiring and we probably won't be seeing them again. But - DH had sent our 'regrets' - and that was that. Last night - a friend - also a physics wife called to see how I was - asked if we would be at the party - I said no.....and that was that. About 10 minutes later she called back and said they would pick me up and I should go to the party with them. It was such a wonderful gesture - I was overwhelmed - and I called this morning to say I'd love to go. So - I'm going to have a restful day - go for my treatment at 2:00 and rest after I get home. They will pick me up about 5:30.
We have sunshine and a promise of 7 days of lovely weather - so I'm a happy camper. Tomorrow I'll do a little prep work for DD's arrival on Sunday - and that will be it. Have a great week-end - Rosemary

I had a ball last night - was treated like the dowager queen - plied with champagne and food and lots of good conversation. I am so very glad I went. This morning I'm preparing for DD's arrival tomorrow. Have shopped for wonderful, fresh food - cleaned my fridge so everything is ready. After lunch - I'm resting - before our friends come at 5:00 today for drinks. I made a new hummus - lima beans and garlic - hope it's good.
Have a great week-end everybody - I get 3 days off treatment so I'm celebrating!

Rosemary, this post sounds so upbeat, so much like you.
Rosemary,
So happy to read that you had a wonderful time at the party with your friends. It seems a party was just what you needed. Know you are ready for you DD to arrive and that will also perk you up.
Wow, a bit of a gift not to have any treatment for 3 whole days. Enjoy your DD and all that visit will bring both of you. So sweet that she could come when you couldn't make the trip to England.
