So good to be alive


Hi Folks - Been a crazy week. Ema had to go into the hospital again - this time for an infection in her leg that kept her there two nights. The wound (surgical site) from the biopsy a month ago hadn't healed properly and was beginning to get infected. While at the hospital she received I.V. antibiotics and a two hour surgery to close up the wound.

We got home on Thursday, just in time to pack and leave for a couple of nights in Ventura county at our favorite beach resort. Ema wasn't able to dig for clams along the breakers, but had a wonderful time nevertheless.

Top photo above is a view of the Mandalay Beach Resort. Bottom pic shows Sam (4) and Nick (11) at one of the thrift stores we hit in Oxnard yesterday. Sam scored a Harley Davidson motorcycle jacket and some black boots. Nick came back with two leather jackets - a black motorcycle one and a classic brown leather bomber jacket which he loves!

I asked Ema yesterday if she was having a nice vacation. She said "It's so good just to 'be' here, and yes, I'm having a wonderful time."
