The Laird received a wonderful gift last week - one of Sherry's co-workers, Jenn, a cancer survivor herself, brought them a book titled The Cancer-Fighting Kitchen -- nourishing, big-flavor recipes for cancer treatment and recovery. Mist has been reading various chapters and learning so much! The book also has recipes for different cancer side effects, which is a fantastic tool for any caregiver. Many thanks to Jenn & Jason (her husband) for such an amazing gift.
The Mountain Castle has been a nice change for Mist and Big Tom. Nurse Sherry and his Lordship always make us feel special and go out their way to make things nice. Mist has been getting an education on all things organic this visit. I've learned that foods I've eaten for years are no longer good for me. I have to admit that everything she prepares tastes delicious and healthy. Perhaps Mist will be turning over a new leaf soon and "going organic."
Sunday dinner arrived from the Gabrielsen family (Florida) and the Cunninghams. Parker brought the most delicious flank steak, broccoli cranberry slaw, angel hair with asiago cheese, "itty bitty cheeseburgers," and banana nut bread. She brought a goodie-bag for Mario with a BIG chocolate bar, a few magazines, and a beautiful homemade get-well card from Jack (age 6) in Gator Blue and Orange. Many, many thanks to all of them for such a wonderful feast (Mist is going to have to watch her waistline after all this great food).
Maid of the Mist would like to thank all her loyal readers over the past 10 days. It has been a wonderful experience for her. We leave tomorrow knowing Nurse Sherry and His Lordship are a strong couple with lots of love and support from their friends and family. They have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of good wishes, cards, gifts, visits, and food they've received. It warms my heart to know that so many care so much.
So, I now say a fond farewell. Come on back, Mr. FOG...you have been Mist!
"The Lord is Sherry and Mario's rock, their fortress and their deliverer; their God is their rock in whom they take refuge. He is their shield and the horn of their salvation, their stronghold."
(taken from Parker's keychain verses)
Love to all,
Maid of the Mist
