The Bread Rises


I am cooking.
I am making home made beans, home made bread and a raspberry custard pie I saw in my Martha Stewart magazine. Gerry used to love home made beans and home made bread. I have made thousands of loaves for him and every batch seemed, to him, to be better than the one before. He could make a meal out of bread and one more thing. I have seen him polish off a half loaf in one sitting. I am not sure if he will eat any of today's bounty. If he does, it will be a minuscule amount compared to his previous feasts.

Yesterday, I managed to get the IV done without a hitch. My sister Carol came out to be here when I did it, in the event that we had to call 911! Thanks, Carol. Gerry sleeps a lot; in fact I have to rouse hi shortly since I have to do the IV routine again. We head to Moncton for a white blood cell scan on Wednesday. It is going to be a very long tiring day for him.

As the bread rises, so do my apprehensions, about many things.
The picture above was taken last February 8, one day before we received his cancer diagnosis. Gerry and Isaac are enjoying Mumsie's home made bread and beans.

  1. I was drooling just thinking about that bread; I almost started a batch myself, but I knew who would eat it all!!!

    Good luck in Moncton hopefully the weather will improve before Wed.
