On this DAY EIGHT, we have arrived in Boulder and I am so moved to see my daughter, Betsey, looking wonderful - she is in her 2nd week of radiation therapy and chemotherapy and is feeling good, experiencing no side effects as yet, but aware that there may be some down the road and prepared to meet them with a fighting spirit. She feels she has an amazing medical team working on her behalf, she is aggressively pursuing all the resources of healing, a macro-biotic diet (which we got a delicious sample of this evening), supplements, visualization, meditation - she is determined to be a survivor and help others be survivors. She is an inspiration! Tomorrow we will get a chance to tour the facility where she receives radiation therapy and see first-hand what is being done for her there. So, the journey continues, and I feel privileged to be on it with Betsey in some small way.
Today we traveled from Hays, KS to Boulder, and our route took us through Colby, KS, where there is the Prairie Museum of Art and History, where we stopped for a visit. It was very interesting. It is a collection of buildings representing life on the plains in the late 19th and earlier 20th century- it included a quilt exhibit, a farmstead house of the 1930's, a sod house, a one-room school, a Presbyterian Church and the largest barn in Kansas which houses a collection of farm equipment. The main museum also houses a huge collection of artifacts. We concentrated on the buildings and the quilts. Here's the museum entrance and a quilt - I'll post more photos tomorrow:
