Yesterday morning we headed for the AZ Cancer Center in Tucson at 7:15AM. The sky was partly cloudy with a shower of beautiful pink and white rays shining down in the east. We could almost see Jesus returning as He said He would in John, "...I will come again..." With the hymns playing on our CD and experiencing this wonderful sight, we were ready to jump out of the car and go meet Him!
After arriving in Tucson, my blood was checked routinely and was found to be low in white and red cells which was also expected. The good news was that this was my scheduled week off from chemo which is normally 3 weeks on and 1 week off. While there, we met Fashion, a companion German Shepherd that was transferred from Guide Dogs for the Blind in San Rafael, CA. Our daughter, Lesa, had trained Zorine, a German Shepherd for the same organization nearly 35 years ago. What a small world!
Since it was too early for lunch, we stopped at The Chantilly Tea Room, for tea and scones. What a quaint and charming little place. As I sipped my chocolate mint tea and Mary her white fruit tea, we felt like we were back in the 17th century with our carriage rather than car parked out front. The tea cups and pots were all uniquely different, and our server, Kristin, was a delight dressed like she, too, was from long ago. When we stepped outside, we found our car, not our carriage, and we were brought back to reality.
