Twenty-One Years Cancer Free

She is doing everything right

Today Is #21; Twenty One Years Cancer Free

Twenty-two years ago today Dr. Deborah Pauer, currently our general practitioner, told us that Sue had cancer in the lungs and needed to see an oncologist ASAP. Devastation hardly describes our feelings over that weekend.

But, here we are celebrating twenty-one years cancer free. We celebrated Life Day #1 by buying annual passes to Disneyland. and we have done so ever since.

Disneyland Resort, Here We Come!

 

Life Day #21 at Disneyland with family
The walk through Downtown Disney was as expected...delightful

Did You Know? - The word "pumpkin" showed up for the first time in the fairy tale Cinderella. A French explorer in 1584 first called them "gros melons," which was translated into English as "pompions," according to History. It wasn't until the 17th century that they were first referred to as pumpkins.

We had to Soar Over The World

Did You Know? - Once the ride begins, the flight simulator ride vehicles will move forward, up, and out toward the massive bowl-shaped screen. Since hang gliding is the ride's premise, all of the footage is from an aerial perspective and includes landmarks such as the Matterhorn in the Swiss Alps, Greenland's Isfjord, Australia's Sydney Harbor, Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany, and Mt. Kilimanjaro.

From there, guests glide over the Great Wall of China, the Great Pyramids of Egypt, India's Taj Mahal, Utah's Monument Valley, Fiji, South America's Igazu Falls, and then the Eiffel Tower in Paris. For the finale, guests soar over Epcot where fireworks explode over Spaceship Earth!
