It's been another very long day here at Duke Cancer Clinic in Durham, NC. Mom's breast cancer surgery has been scheduled for next Thursday but we have to return two days prior for more procedures and testing. Can't imagine being her, but her attitude is so remarkable!

If you look to the east when exiting the cancer clinic, this is a portion of the view of its beautifully manicured and landscaped courtyard. Isn't it cheerful and peaceful?

Thank you all for your comments yesterday. I wish I could hug every one of you! :-)

We're out of town this week in Durham, NC for my 71-year-old mother to meet with her breast cancer surgeon. Surgery is next week; she already underwent lung cancer surgery two months ago. She's my hero!

This is the best I could come up with today, as we've been traveling since 8:00 am this morning and it's now 7:00 pm. Lavender crape myrtle trees, along with a brilliant blue sky, are reflected in the mirrored walls of our hotel. Considering how we've had nothing but heavy rain for the past 24 hours, this was a welcome sight!

Am hoping to catch up with comments on everyone else's pictures sometime later tonight. Sorry I've not been able to keep up, but have been on the road the last two days.
