Does this bandage make my earring look small?
Quick, I need to get out of town before they find another medical thing wrong with me! Today, bright and early 7:00 am appointment in Yardley, PA - yep I was up at 5:30 AM ! I had Mohs surgery, for first time, on a little Basal Cell Carcinoma on my right face cheek. Shout out and many thanks to my wonderful friend Dina for providing me with a car, to make it all happen ! I just found out Friday I needed this done and called first thing Monday, begging for an appointment anywhere this week, to get done. The fantastic, funny & compassionate Dr. Junqian Zhang, just happened to have a cancellation and agreed to do surgery at Penn Dermatology in Bucks Co.
I write this post with a heavy heart, tragedy has struck our happy Community. One of our much loved, founding residents had a heart attack and sadly didn't recover, as we sailed to Moorea.
I threw together an impromptu Bachelorette party for Angie tonight! Angie and Gian are getting married for a third time in Hawaii next week.They will be alone this time and it turns out she never had a Shower or Bachelorette to celebrate her first 2 marriages on the Ship, last May! Our girl deserved a fun night to celebrate her! So we took over a section the outdoor seating at Les 3 Brassuers, and their great band had us all up dancing! It's amazing what you can do with a bunch of WhatsApp messages to fellow ladies, some tulle, sparkles and always handy flower lei's ! One of the ladies even went and bought her some lingerie! I love our supportive community!
I got to go Sailing Again! We were supposed to head to the COOK ISLANDS after the lovely Rangiroa and the Tuamotu Archipelago, but due to stormy weather there, with all unprotected tender ports, they made the decision to head us southwest, back to the protected port in Papeeta (Tahiti). We got lucky and Holly ( pictured below) found us a sailboat available for charter.
