Dancing Palms

Well I found the old post that disappeared a week ago.

Four coconut palm trees danced in the sunlight with abandon. Wild wind announced the approach of a tropical storm. Sunlight played on the twelve foot palm fronds changing the colors as they bounced in and out of shadows. An exotic large plant below waved it's red, yellow and green leaves.  It was as fascinating as watching a Cirque du Soliel performance. The second story screened in porch was the perfect place to ride out the storm. The rains brought a quick change in temperature and that wonderful fresh aroma. We missed our trip to the beach. Who cared? That was Sunday.

Today the IAT Clinic parking lot was filled to overflowing. New patients arrived. The shots were ready much later than usual, so we had the morning to chat. Three Amish folks from Indiana had taken the train to Ft Lauderdale and then the ferry to Freeport.  Out of their element, they are a bit overwhelmed.

The new group is as friendly and helpful as the bunch that went home on Friday. Everyone wanted to help the newbies. What a world it would be if everyone had the same attitude as these cancer patients.  I am proud to be one of them.
