March Goodness

I know we usually refer to March as "March Madness", but our lives are so good now that I must refer to March as "March Goodness"!  It is so good, that right now, I do not even know where Lee is!  He went outside around 9:30 this a.m. and has not returned.  It is now 2:00 in the afternoon and he has now become the Lee Kanipe of the T.V. anchor, Matt Lauer as in "Where in the world is Lee Kanipe?"  If you recall, several years ago, Matt L. traveled across the world and that was the title of his adventure.  I did call around noon to try to locate him and remind him of his noon sugar check with insulin.  He was in downtown Lincolnton buying a battery charger. Who would have guessed?

Well, he returned briefly, only to disappear again. He is enjoying his ability to move about freely and breathe freely.  This is such a blessing!  I joke about his wherabouts, but I am extremely overjoyed that he is able to pursue his lifestyle as before with limitations.  He has been very busy meeting with interested parties who want to buy some of his farm equipment.  I have to admit that I feel very sad for him when I hear him discussing the sale of his equipment.  I have asked him from time to time if this is bothering him,  and his response, is that he has accepted that part of his life to be gone.  He is just happpy to be alive and able to return to his family, his home and his neighborhood.  He reminds me that he has other interests such as golf, fishing and just enjoying his return to a normal life.  I am so proud of him!

We will be returning to Duke March 17 for a bronchoscopy and all the other tests.  We will leave on Friday for the beach and will stay there until the following Saturday.  We are in hopes that the fungus in his lung has  completely disappeared.  He appears to be improved and we are hoping that it is gone.

Even though the weather is a bit cool today, we are enjoying the bursting of Spring that is blooming everywhere on the farm.  The bradford pears are beginning to bloom, the weeping cherry trees are bright pink, daffodils and forsythias are like sunshine, the grass is green and the birds are singing.  Aaaaah!  Life..................what a wonderful gift!
