"Thank you all immensely for contributing to my retirement scavenger hunt. This is one of the best gifts I've ever received! Every couple of days I scratch off a new card and head to unknown places. So far, I've had the pleasure of some incredible macarons, I got a cute porch swing-shaped bird feeder that is highly popular with our birds; I got to pick out some books; I was given a birdhouse; I've made a banana nut scented soy candle and I've signed up to create some plasma cut artwork for our yard. Not only am I finding awesome things when I get to the locations, I am also discovering many new places in the valley that I didn't know existed and a few I've always meant to explore. These surprises are wonderful in and of themselves, but they really help on days when I'm feeling the effects of chemo as they take my mind off of it."
