January 11, 2013--Friday; Still Waiting

Time is coming.  Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights......three more nights until "chop-chop" day.  I'm ready to get the cancer out of my body and actually glad to have my breast reduced in size.  Not looking forward to the pain and most likely the chemo.

Donna is coming tomorrow and Deb is coming on Sunday.  Susan Magnett was here for lunch.  Sure enjoyed her visit.

I've had a lot of encouragement and support form people from here to there.  Cousin Bill calls from California.  Aunt Dorothy called from Missouri.  My good ole friend Roberta calls from Texas.  I've received a lot of cards.  Enjoy the ones with pictures in my image.  Ha!

Barb, Gale, Kent, Laura, and Kevin surprised me with TWO special gowns to wear that will hopefully cover all the parts.  Gary has added a hand-held shower head to the shower so I can reach water from my step stool.  I'm ready, here we go.

You know when you have to face a major surgery there is a small chance of complications.  I just want to let all friends and family know that I will be content on the other side.  I believe there is a mysterious God that watches over us and I am anxious to understand how his miracles and love shine through.  BUT. if it is in my plan to stay on this earth and "bug" people more.  I'll sure be happy to do that too.  I love my husband.  He is a great man with such patience that I have a way of trying..  My three sons have turned into really wonderful men and I know they will be great fathers. I wish Deb had taught me the way of hugging and kissing earlier on in my life.  She realized we were missing this as children and made sure her children never had a doubt    I try to tell my grown boys now that I love them and getting a hug from them can be challenging.  My grand kids.......oh, my......the joy they bring to my life.  The things they say and do,  Each is an individual with great potential.  I want to see them grow into adults and change the world.

So, down this new path of life I go.......

December 31 2013 -- Happy New Years!

Image
I noticed that the last post was a Merry Christmas post.  Wellllllllll..... Happy New Year! Yesterday, December 30, we headed to Florida.  One more sticker added to the camper map.  Yippee! I held the camera for five miles with the intention of not missing the change of state sign.  I had it aimed at the side of the road and was viewing every sign along the way......about the time I pushed the button for this picture, the Driver (think next year we will promote him to Travel Planner--you know it is one of those things that employers do to delay a raise in pay) hit a BUMP! The next picture is on the way to our new campground.  It is called Whispering Pines in Silver Springs, Florida.   Gary booked this campground using our Passport America.  We get full hookup sites for $14 per night.  He has done a really good job picking out the sites.  Don't you agree he needs a new title.  Travel Planner he will be!  Diesel is a l...

Day 105; August 10 -- Woman's Work?

Image
Today the driver got up and took the truck for its 9:00am appointment.  They flushed and cleaned and changed the oil and then claimed they could not find any problems.  They suggested that we drive it and see if the cleaning and collapsed air filter correct the problem. I did the laundry, changed the sheets on the bed, cleaned out a couple of drawers, and tried to straighten the closet.  It seems to have more "stuff" than it did when we started? Is it a sign that we are ready to head home?  We get excited when we see signs with our family member's name on it? This is the Green Acres RV Park in Redding, CA.  It is what I was expecting California to be like.  It is a "picky" park that is manicured daily with two gentlemen that remind me of Uncle Ray.  (Maybe that it how I imagine California?) You can stay in the park monthly for only $3$0+.  I do think you have to pay for your own electricity. Last night the driver wanted to go ...

Day 81; July 17 - Sunday Day of Rest

Image
I just wanted to hang out and enjoy the scenery today.  I was awaken this morning by a Skype call from Jessie and Mary.  Started my day off right.  I had a muffin and cream cheese for breakfast.  Last night Gary came in with two bags of groceries the neighbors had given him.  They were flying back to their home country this morning and didn't have any use for them.  They gave him four old bananas, oil, eggs, juice, salad dressing..... I made a great loaf of banana nut bread.  It was pretty good if I do say so myself.  Driver, Prissy, and I took a short walk while it was cooking. He told me he kept repeating his sad story of all the repairs that he made on his vehicles and put on his oldest clothes so people would feel sorry for him--that man!  He also is really pleased with all the goodies the girls left in the cupboards.  He has enough junk food to get him back in the lower 48.  Ha!  He really enjoyed being spoile...
