Blueberries, Granola and Yogurt (and news)


I was very happy when I walked into the Natural Foods Market and saw these, the first blueberries of the year. They were not locally grown--we won't have local berries until summer, but they were organic and I think the juiciest and most delicious blueberries I have ever tasted. 

We had just come from the Oncologist's office where we learned that my lymphoma is in remission! No wonder those berries tasted so sweet. 

Now I am on a quest to restore my health to pre-treatment status. One of the things I have been doing, to that end, is using protein powders and making smoothies.  I'll be sharing some of my concoctions next week.

And on a sad note, our little dog died yesterday. I will surely miss her--already do. She has been my constant buddy throughout my convalescence and the only companionship I had on the many days I could not leave home and while my husband was working. It is very still here without her.
