Easter Weekend

Easter weekend was C-R-A-Z-Y busy!! It was wonderful!! THE BEST part of it was that I was surrounded (almost non-stop) by family and friends, and I hardly had time to remember I had cancer!  There were times when I'd have to get to the La-Z-Boy right quick because my energy had been zapped from my body but, other than that, it was go-go-go and I loved it!!

After arriving in Ashcroft on Wednesday, friends from Smithers stopped over on their way to Vancouver.  We had a fabulous catch-up visit, they spent the night, and then were on their way bright and early Thursday. Thursday afternoon, it was more company when David's cousin and husband stopped in for tea with fresh cinnamon buns ... yum (one of my favourite sweets!!)

Friday, my sister, Maureen, arrived from Trail.  I really, really needed a "Maureen Fix".  One of the upsides of this entire journey is that it has brought Maureen and I incredibly close.  I always knew we loved each other, but we express it more freely and frequently, and being forced to face my own mortality has made me appreciate her and her love so much more.  The last time we visited in Trail was when I was dealing with "Hairy Orange Arm Pit" and I was a whining wimp.  I really needed a visit where I just felt good and could jam in tons of quality visiting.  Mission Accomplished!!

Esther, Kate, and Moya arrived on Saturday afternoon.  Here's the rest of our weekend in pictures ...

Maureen and I walked to see the hoodoos ...

We decorated eggs ...

... and nicknamed me "Egg Head"!!

Kate helped me pretend I have hair :) :)

We cooked ... (well, I didn't cook -- another upside !!)

and ate ...

and ate!!

 And we had to say good-bye :( :(

What a fabulous Easter weekend!! The only thing that would have made it better was having Mom & Dad (x 2), Charlotte, Kevin, Joy, Rachel, and Stu with us.

Thank you for my family!!!!!
