First Date

Behaving Like A Couple

Yesterday Rene ventured out of the house for the first time to go somewhere that was not either her oncologist's office or the hospital. Instead she went to her favorite tea and wine shops to enjoy herself.

She has not been able to do this since the end of February. Going the tea shop was her original intent and she had a wonderful time. Hard to believe since I was with her, but she really did have a wonderful time! Since one of her girlfriends was able to come, she really did enjoy herself! :-)

Since this was the first time that staff at the tea shop had seen her, they did not recognize her immediately. Once they heard her voice, they realized who was in their midst. Tasting her favorite teas in this setting was topped off by the classic guitarist who performs on Friday. He didn't recognize her at first and was very happy to see her again.

Fruit Of The Vine

Since she was already out, she decided to be spontaneous and requested that we stop by our favorite wine bar. She she walked in, she received a rousing applause from the regulars when she walked in the door! A single glass of wine with good friends topped off her evening!

Girly Stuff

I noticed that Rene took time to put on make-up before we left. This is a first and she looked great. She is feeling better about her appearance and gaining confidence in her ability to enjoy things she put on hold since her treatments began.
