    I am glad your wife is better. If the chemo works, great. Catching it in time, treating it, the treatment working. All positive things. Sometimes that is not the way these things go. And hopefully once done the cancer stays away.

    I have a sister in law that has to go in to have a rib removed at the end of the month. Five years after her breast cancer.

Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle.

    My challenge is keeping her active. She seems to want to just shut down and sleep all the time. I know she's going to be more tired than usual but she has to keep moving. I'm taking her to a garden we are members of today. Several types of flowers are blooming and they have a display of Jackie Kennedy memorabilia in the museum. It's about an hours drive away at Winterthur Delaware.

    An update: Chemo is progressing, her hair loss is substantial now. I encouraged her to let it alone until after she visited her mother who they have not told. She visited her Friday and again on Sunday. The difference between the two days was enough to wear a hat on Sunday. Her mother didn't notice anything out of the ordinary and loved her hat so all was well.

    Physically, she is doing less and less. We went to a series of touristy places on Saturday, and she did get out and walk some but just seemed to want to go back to the car quickly and sleep. She also commented yesterday that she didn't want to buy anything because she was going to die and the kids would have to dispose of it. We had a discussion about that, I wasn't happy with her. Not sure where it came from either as she has been pretty positive about it publicly. I know she's depressed. I mentioned that before.

    She is eating fairly well. Sometimes she just stops in the middle of a meal but for the most part she has normal taste and appetite. Son in law had Covid last week so grandson is off limits for a bit, this week anyway. Her work ends in two weeks for the summer. Not sure if that will help or make things worse.

    Her mood has improved a bit which is surprising. She got the remains of her hair shaved off yesterday. I suspect that upcoming event was a big contributor to her depression which may be why now that it's over she's feeling better.

    She needed a lot of assurances she didn't look bad, she actually looks a lot like a bald male friend we have but I didn't tell her that. She didn't cry when they were taking it off either which is good. Today she went back to the school and there was some concern the kids would react negatively but they didn't. They did ask the other workers if she was OK so it was more of a concern thing than teasing her or anything. Elementary school kids are more thoughtful than older ones.

    Still little energy. We have two movies we want to see, Top Gun and Downton Abby and Jurassic Park comes out next week and I told her to pick one but she just wants to stay home tonight. These are movies SHE really wants to see, not me necessarily. I'm more interested in Jurassic Park.

    Still praying. My wife and I have a movie trade-off going as well: Top Gun (me) for Jurassic Park (her).
