All's well that ends well

We just got in last night from Vermont. It's a good thing we went. The weather ended up
being great and I never would have heard the end of it if we did not go based on my idea
to skip it. Things actually went well with the in-laws. We had a good time. Olivia worked
at the dairy farm across the street every afternoon with the girls that live there. Their dad told
me he wants to hire her. She has no problem getting in there with the manure hoe and
mucking out stalls. She fed chickens and calves and picked veggies. She loves it and did not
want to come home. I golfed for the first time in 9 years. Luckily, I got some exercise doing
it and the views from this course are incredible because my score card was shameful. It
looked more like olympic gymnastic scores than golf scores. Tim and I got some real time
together canoeing at the lake, golfing and hanging out with some friends up there. I guess I
don't even realize how little time we spend without Livvy around us. This week, Tim will have
his labs drawn and next week he will have his first doctor appt. in over 2 months. As always,
I am nervous but it is what it is and I can't change anything so we'll hope for the best. He still
has some neuropathy in his legs and feet and I still hope that it goes away. It's a constant
reminder for him and makes me sad to see him in pain. People are always so shocked to see
him looking so well. We saw friends we haven't seen since May '07, and I guess everyone
just automatically thinks if you have cancer, you're gonna look it. He is tan and fit and looking
fine which is great for him. Not bad for me either, I might add. Well back to reality, as if I ever
left. I have so much to do, I hardly know where to start. I need a personal assistant big time!
