Shooting Star!
Last evening while sitting on the front porch thinking about the events that have unfolded over the past few weeks I had the luck to capture this falling star with my I-Phone!
Maybe it's a hopeful sign!
Beth and Marco

Fight Like a Girl!
Yesterday Dawn and Stephanie surprised use by hanging signs on our deck when we returned home from Beth’s chemo treatment. This one was my favorite, lol!!
Chemo Treatment #2 5/25/2011
Wired for sound!
Chemo Drugs :-(
Yesterday saw us back at Atlanta Cancer Care for round two of Beth’s chemo treatment and marking the half way point in the process! We also visited with Beth’s Oncologist who was very pleased with her progress and reported that the tumor has indeed shrank in size so apparently the chemo is doing its job.
Beth was in good spirits during the chemo treatment listening to her new G4 I-Phone and even eating lunch however as we saw during round one she became disoriented and very tired by the end of the treatment. After returning home she slept most of the afternoon and evening. She woke this morning upset and sore but after taking her meds and having some breakfast see fell back to sleep. I would suspect that she’ll sleep most of the day while the chemo drugs do war with the tumor that appears to be losing! Round two seems to be following the same course as round one.
Thanks again for all the thoughts and prayers.

New Prickly Pear Cactus
Yesterday I finally found a source for Prickly Pear Cactus for my garden so I bought three plants for $10.00. The Prickly Pear will winter over in the south and make an interesting addition to the garden. Oh did I mention they are prickly!!!
Prickly pear cactus are found in all of the deserts of the American Southwest, with different species having adapted to different locale and elevation ranges. Most require course, well-drained soil in dry, rocky flats or slopes. But some prefer mountain pinyon/juniper forests, while others require steep, rocky slopes in mountain foothills.
There has been medical interest in the Prickly Pear plant. Some studies have shown that the pectin contained in the Prickly Pear pulp lowers levels of "bad" cholesterol while leaving "good" cholesterol levels unchanged. Another study found that the fibrous pectin in the fruit may lowers diabetics' need for insulin. Both fruits and pads of the prickly pear cactus are rich in slowly absorbed soluble fibers that help keep blood sugar stable.
