Flowers By Bike

Another sunny, temperate, blue-sky early summer day in Berlin today gave us the chance to visit Edith, who finally got released at 2:30 in the afternoon on Friday and was home at 3pm, and enjoy a simple meal of noodles with tomato sauce with onions, bacon bits, and sausage, play a rousing round of Skat with her, a card game similar to bridge but for three and which I today, exceptionally, won. We also had chocolate pudding.

Difficult to do things for, she at least admitted her house was bare without any flowers as she'd not had a chance to get any, so we picked her up a nice little arrangement on our way by bike from the Spendlersfeld S-Bahn station to her place, and she was pleased.
She's hoping her counts will allow an on-time start for her last session of chemo, scheduled to begin on Monday, June 9, although her first indication will be after blood work on Wednesday.
Laughing and cheerful she was, feeling fine, glad to be home, and very happy about the greeting from two people commenting on this blog, though we didn't delve into questions of Alter or Niedlichkeit, assuming it was better just to pass on, interpretatively, that my sister supports her mother-logic and my niece finds her stamina praiseworthy. (I believe they can both live with my exegetic delivery of their message, when they hear that Edith smiled and said thanks.)
