Tricia had her surgery yesterday, and is feeling fine.  Had a lumpectomy, which she described as like the biopsy.  (Meaning no big deal?)  She will be seeing her doctor next week, and will find out then if more treatment (chemo?) will be necessary.  I rather expect that she'll be on Tamoxifen the next 5 years, as that has been standard practice, but I'll know more when she knows more.

We ask for continued prayers, and thank all of you who have been praying for Trish.  I'm expecting complete, uncomplicated recovery.

I forgot to write about yesterday's Leisure League luncheon.  I was a little disappointed in the luncheon, as that particular sponsoring synagogue is one of the two best for outstanding meals. 

The entertainment was a clarinetist and a keyboardist playing all the songs we fogies love.  All the melodies that bring back sweet memories.  And are eminently danceable!  There's plenty of room on the floor for dancing, and some people did.  I was asked to dance a slow dance, and in spite of my hip problems, the dance went well and was pleasant.  That particular man I would like to see again. 

It was great sitting at a table with friends and catching up with those I don't see except maybe once a month.  If I didn't hate telephone socializing the way I do, I could be kept caught up, but telephones for me are for short, uncomplicated, make-an-appointment calls.

Tried the 99 cent store again for bananas, but they were OUT.  Don't feel like making the trip again today, so I guess I'll go without my morning banana for the weekend.

Peach has been spending her day at the bottom of the aquarium, waving her fins.  I hope that doesn't mean she's nesting.  Already???  Keep tuned.
