The beginning of cancer treatment whether it be chemo or radiation is a very reflective time. It puts much of what is going on in your life into perspective. I speak as a 10 survivor ... still going strong and grateful for the love, support, & encouragement from my family and friends ... but that first day is one I will never forget.<br /><br />So tomorrow is a new day .... looking forward to hearing about Will's activities and how Atticus is feeling.<br /><br />Wishes for a peaceful night to all of you.<br /><br />Betty FagenBetty and Lenny Fagennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36795530.post-11628841645947752402013-08-01T21:09:33.841-04:002013-08-01T21:09:33.841-04:00I'm not in good enough shape to hike the mount...I'm not in good enough shape to hike the mountains at this time.

I would hike in my mountains following my Carson, take photos and share. The colors here are grand that time of year! I would love to be a part of this wonderful event.

It's not going anywhere any time soon and neither are any of the presidents. One day, onward by all means. :P<br /><br />Tim and RobinTimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00215280603948401453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36795530.post-43211257806285167842013-07-31T04:10:59.301-04:002013-07-31T04:10:59.301-04:00Such an amazing opportunity.

I can only surmise what a spectacular time you and the others will have. Seeing New England in all of its fall glory must be breathtaking. This is on my short list of things to do, as a recipient of free air travel...I'm sure to go. Maybe you can also consider a simple coffee meeting giveaway with some of your readers? That would be another great opportunity.

I have already included your book in my contemporary literature class. Therefore, as you and the lucky people who accompany you are enjoying the gorgeous fall foliage thirty eight students and I will be waiting to view the magnificent pictures you will email to the rest of us. I have a floor to ceiling screen in my room and I will be able to project those photos on it so the students and I have the vicarious feeling that we are with you. Many of my students have never been north of southern Florida, nor have they seen deciduous trees or mountains. Our highest spot is called "Mount Trashmore.". I also am on the committee to pick a book for the college wide read in and I am definitely championing your book as our selection. Have a wonderful hike with the people who accompany you.. I wish I could go onward and upward with youSandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06114801404757819618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36795530.post-62223593692698457082013-07-30T17:06:39.422-04:002013-07-30T17:06:39.422-04:00How absolutely wonderful of you and Atticus!

Oct. 7 is my birthday and as I've gotten older I indulge myself in one special gift to me for my birthday. <br /><br />But I work and can't just fly to New Hampshire for the weekend. Can't afford the time or the money. <br /><br />And I'm just not in the kind of shape for even a modest hike of 4-6 miles. And there just isn't enough time to get in that sort of shape in the time left. <br /><br />It sounds just wonderful. <br /><br />I'd love to see the pictures you take and read the posts you'll write for the lucky people that do get to go. <br /><br />Perhaps I'll take my Ramses on a sympathy hike locally, a short modest one, at the same time all of you are hiking your peak. I'll think of all of you as I do. And I'll give my Ramses an extra special hug and belly rub in honor of Atticus and Will. <br /><br />Best wishes and happy trails to all those joining Tom and Atticus.mlaiuppahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13792165896828163411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36795530.post-5009547114816487042013-07-30T14:41:38.709-04:002013-07-30T14:41:38.709-04:00This is so heartwarming and special.
