I’m running errands for the first time as a “scarf lady.” I’ll let you know how it goes. I never have known how to react to women I see out in the midst of chemo, other than I’ve wanted to hug them. But mom always said don’t stare.
You look great, Tracie! It is so good to know that today is a better day and that you are up and about. Saw a lady at the farmer’s market with a shaved head and just wanted to run up and hug her and say that is was for you and Tracie. Next time it happens, I think I’ll do it! Hugs… and lots of them to you.

Do you want a Raider scarf?!?!
Correction on the cabinets – they are from a 15th century Spanish Galleon.
