| Too bad Tom can't just take Laxettes! |
I have been having trouble trying to write a post lately because Google has stopped supporting their Blogger platform. It is not available as an app anymore and I couldn't seem to get it to work on my phone or iPad. This is the platform I'm familiar with from using it in school as a classroom blog. Maybe I can use another blogging site and transfer my posts over but that will take some research.
Tom is continuing on with chemo every two weeks. He has had a few short term side effects recently but continues to feel well enough for horseshoes, trips to the beach, frisbee throwing, and caring on with his usual routine. He gets a CAT scan on July 13th and we will meet with his oncologist, Dr. DaGraca on July 19th to discuss the results and further treatment options. We are just trying to carry on and take each day as it comes.
Here are some photos of what we have been doing these last two months.

| Me, Andrea, Jocelyn, Amanda |
My niece Jocelyn graduated high school with honors and is off to Marist College in Poughkeepsie, NY. Her dad, Tom's brother John, died about eight years ago. Her mom, Salve, saved John's collection of tee shirts from concerts and sports games and had this quilt made for Jocelyn to take to college with her. Tom immediately cried when he saw it, remembering and missing his brother and his love of music. |
| Amidst a Philippine feast cooked by Salve, was this little guy. He came from a Chinese restaurant. |
 |
| We visited Tom's sister Kathleen at the beach and had a visitor as we watched the sun set. |
 |
| We met friends on my birthday and saw a free performance of The Tempest: A Magical Steampunk Adventure. That's Tom in the red chair on the right. |
 |
| Two of the numerous characters in The Tempest. It was well done. |
 |
| Same class taken on the playground last year when they were 5th graders. <3 |
 |
| I went to the 6th grade graduation at Free Orchards. I had this class last year in 5th when I retired and also in 2nd grade. I loved this class so much. One of their mom's took this photo on my phone. |
 |
| At the opening Hillsboro Hops baseball game, these little "Pinkies" as Tom and I called them, ran and jumped nonstop through at least nine innings. The game lasted 12. Hops won! |
 |
| For Tom's birthday on May 23rd we had a poker party with the kids. Tom loves him some poker. He is really into George Herriman's Crazy Cat right now, hense the coupon I made. On the right is my first try at Starbucks Oatmeal Cherry bars, one of Tom's favorite treats. Oh, and his relatives are Dutch. |
 |
| This is the only photo I took at Tom's Birthday Poker Party. Alli and Logan with a noodle! |
 |
| We went to Allison's and Logan's new apartment on Mother's Day. That's Amanda on the sofa. Alli and Logan cooked us a delicious lunch.
I have dozens of pictures,
but I'll quite here at an even twelve ;-)
