The weekend

This last weekend we spent quite a bit of time relaxing and hanging out together.    Saturday morning I picked up Liz from her house and started the day out with a T-town first for Liz - a trip to Le Donut for some fresh made doughnuts and coffee.  If you have not been there, I strongly encourage you to go some time. They are on S. 11th in hilltop across the street from Safeway. 

After our melt-in-your-mouth doughnuts Liz and I were off to my house to make Dad's birthday cake.  His cake was a banana cake decorated as an abacus. We had a good time hanging around the house baking the cake and decorating.  While the cake was baking Liz took a little nap and was joined by Raini, my cat and nap buddy.  The last week was a long week for Liz, she was very tiered from the radiation and chemo treatments, in addition she has started to experiance the loss of her hair.  On Tuesday we trimmed her hair.  Much of the week was spent resting and sleeping so she was excited to have some energy and to be out doing a few things.  A few weeks ago Liz had a port put in to assist with the injections and blood draws.  She has been healing well from the surgary.  Every time the staff look at the port they are amazed at how well she has been healing. 

While decorating the cake we were graced with visits from mom, Maria and Em.  After decorating the cake and hanging out for a little bit we dropped Liz off at her place to relax (with her surprise care package of gummy worms - yum yum).

On Sunday I picked up Liz in the afternoon, we went out to pick up some items for Dad's birthday and then it was off to the parental units' to celebrate.  We had an enjoyable time making linner (lunch & dinner), watching the selection show, and celebrating dad's birthday.

Happy Birthday Dad!
