VICTORIA BLISS...UPDATE ON MY LOVE AND ...THE BIG GIVEAWAY...

while my love was recieving "Round 2" of Chemo today ....I enjoyed a little "Catch Up" reading in the newest Victoria Magazine...WONDERFUL.... A few photos to entice you and then an "UPDATE" on my love...


OOOOHHHhhhh.....
AAAAAAHHhhhhhh.....




fabulous pillows....

After leafing through Victoria...I felt SPRING !!!!!...definately around the corner.
Now for a little update on David...
Another white knuckle drive to Grand Rapids early this morning....always seems to snow the night before we leave!...Daves B/Pressure was unusually high... due to the tense drive I'm sure.
We met with our Oncologist after a blood draw to discuss any side effects Dave may be having.
NONE....zero....we almost felt quilty!
Dr. Amy was extatic that he did so well and his w/blood count was good this morning so she okayed round 2 of the Chemo which Dave seemed to tolerate well.
Son Brian came with Granson Owen ....Grandchildren are good at helping the time to pass quickly. We had a nice visit while Dave relaxed and recieved all the Chemos...
We had a little glitch with the fanny pack on the ride home .
The chemo pack kept beeping and for the life of me I couldn't get it to stop...so we went back and let the professionals fix it...(while I watched ...just in case it happens again!).
The ride home was much better then the morning trip.
This evening Dave is busy around the house....no effects except tingeling in his fingertips and lips when he drinks something cold.
Wednesday we go back to get unhooked.
We are both happy we had the port inserted into Daves chest as already it has proved to be a great convenience.
We are continually thankful for your prayers as we are sure that is why Dave is doing so well...
He is taking this time to Read, read, read....stacks of books....as I blog , he even reads to me.
It's like having Audio tapes...only with a sexy voice..
xoxo~Kathy
DON'T FORGET !!!!!...SIGN UP FOR THE GIVEAWAY!!!!!!
ON THE FEB. 18TH POST....WHO-HOOO!

  6. You two are such troopers....Is he reading Victoria to you?
    I remember watching 30 something 100 yrs ago..and one of the men was washing his girlfriends hair in the sink and I thought it was the most romantic thing:)

    Reading Victoria would be close..:)

    I just told my friend that many women say French men are the most romantic..through blogging I have discovered that this quality cannot be attributed to French men only:)

    I hope all the good prayers and thoughts keep nourishing you both..
    You are commendable..
    Bravo!

    And look at those pillows:)

    I was just talking to Deana about Victoria :)

    Thank you for this post~

    have a good night~

    And yes..grandchildren.. haze the worries with smiles and joy.

  18. Hi Kathy

    I received the new Victoria the other day, but haven't looked at it yet. I kind of skipped those pictures so as to not ruin it when I finally get to it. Other than that, I am happy to hear Dave is handling the chemo so well. I'll keep both of you in my prayers.

    Love and hugs,

  25. Thanks for the update, Kathy! I'm so pleased to hear he is doing well with the chemo. I'm sorry those drives always happen when there's a snowstorm. But, as you say, spring can't be too far away!
    Used to take Victoria; I really should start again...I always loved it!
    Big Hug!

  26. Hi Kathy, What a joy it is for me to read your posts! You and your husband are such lovely folks. Victoria magazine has been a place of refuge, inspiration and style in my life for many years and I was also happy when the magazine came back again. It was almost like losing a good friend there for awhile.
    Hugss and have a blessed day you and your family.

  30. Hi Kathy,
    How are you??? Don't you just love decorating magazines, they are such fun and inspiration to me. Just love them!!
    So glad to hear Dave is doing so well. You are so right, I am sure it is all the prayers. That is so awesome. So nice your son and grandson could be there to be so supportive as well. That is such a blessing.
    Drop by tomorrow, cause I am announcing a new
    magazine I discovered yesterday by accident.
    I think it must be new on the market cause I have never seen it before.
    Well hon you have a great day.
    Blessings, Nellie
