The Last Rose of Summer . . .







. . . not the the GIRL, Silly People, the FLOWER!

Our patient was able to get up and out to Walmart yesterday! She splurged on a mani-n-pedicure. (Notice the cute pink ribbon on four of her nails!)

Gretchen walks every day (sometimes twice) to the end of our street, Sandalwood, and makes a point of smelling and admiring the most incredibly fragrant very last rose of summer. The bush is in the front yard of the "other" Petersens' (even spelled the same) on our street. Have you seen it, fellow Sandalwoodites? Go take a sniff! She even attempted one of her famous jumping pictures (that's a fake jump, of course. Laurie, we'd love to know the variety of that rose.)

Stay tuned tomorrow for Part II of our visit to her surgeon on Monday. She's waiting for a phone call in the ayem and then we'll post the latest news.

Take care,
Linda the Mom

Love the nails, Gretchen! The color you chose kind of matches that rose! And I love the pink ribbons. I think next time I get a pedicure, I will get a pink ribbon too, in support of you--if you don't mind my copying you, of course.
