A little sunshine.

A glimmer. A ray. A bit of sunshine after a long rainy weekend. We had another checkup before Barb's chemo treatment today. The cancer markers were down a little, not the dramatic drop that we saw after treatments last year. But a little. Definitely better than the alternative.

Barb has been feeling pretty good, even after the long trip too Tennessee and Virginia. We had a busy two weeks as we took Sara back to Knoxville via Bellevue (Barb's mom's house) and Clarkesville, TN (Jason's parents' house).

We stopped in Knoxville to pick up Jason and made our way to Richmond where we set up base for a couple of days to visit Monticello, Williamsburg, Jamestown, and Virginia Beach. An historical vacation, so to speak.

When we got back to Knoxville, Barb and I stayed a couple of days to help Sara unpack - Jason had moved them from their apartment to their first house - while Sara was back for Adam and Clara's wedding. It's a first house, but it suits them.

And Barb? She handled the trip pretty well. Now, if the cancer markers would just give us a little more indication that we have a proper handle on the treatment.

I hope we have a little more sunshine the next time we see the doctor.
