I am back!!!!!

I can't tell you how good it is to finally feel good again! Thanks for all your prayers! I am savoring every bite of food because I was really starting to wonder if I'd ever be able to eat something other than crackers!

I made a delicious soup for supper. Mark's work always does a soup cook off every year and this was the winner:
