The girls went to Alice’s end-of-season soccer party a couple of weeks ago, and spent a lot of time on the zip-line. Each turn involved a long wait, sometimes some annoying complications (Whose turn is it? It’s getting too dark! No Mom, I don’t need my jacket! etc.), but that brief but exhilarating descent was worth it—pure joy.
Today I wrapped up Round 5 of chemo, and I’m facing a week off before the final round starts. The next week is my ride on the zip-line. Bombs away!
And here is Tiernan with his new seven-week old Australian Shepherd puppy. Tiernan is a classmate of Alice’s, and he and his parents, Leonard and Dierdre, already own a nine-year old Aussie. As fellow Aussie owners we’ve had a lot to say to each other over the past few years about our dogs. Tiernan told his parents that he wanted a girl puppy, and that he wanted to choose her name. The name he chose for his puppy: Alice. I knew I liked that kid.
Thanks Leonard for bringing your Alice to school—you made my day!
