Good morning to everyone. Well, today is Saturday! Where did Thursday and Friday go? Oh yeah, I was in bed. I'll probably be there today also although I DO feel a little better this morning. I slept better last night so that's good. It's such a beautiful day out there. A little windy maybe and cool but hopefully it'll warm up some.
Zachary came over yesterday in his little skunk costume. Oh my gosh, how cute!!!! I'll have to get some pictures for you to see. I texted Caleb and Caitlyn yesterday also which we do all the time, but they never text back. At least they know we're thinking of them. They aren't encouraged in any way to keep in touch with us and that's very sad. We just keep praying for them and loving them long distanced. I do have a box to send but was hoping to get my movie completed before sending the box. I now wish I hadn't bought an Apple as I struggle to use it. It's nice and it's supposed to be easier but this old dog has a hard time.
The town of Lucas is having a fun day today with lots of activities and then Trunk or Treat. I have the candy but the car isn't decorated. Can only do a little bit of stuff. Well, I'm going to go this morning and I hope you all have a good day and an enjoyable weekend.

Good morning to everyone. Well, I saw Dr. Brook's yesterday and he said that my bloodwork was "spectacular" and I was doing well. He also said that I may be in the 5% group of people that don't totally loose their hair!!! Woo-hoo!!! I'm doing good so far this morning. The treatment went well yesterday and I had the pleasure of my son, Christopher, coming down for a little bit. He's been worried because he's had to work everytime I have something done. It's a beautiful morning, and I'm loving it!!!! I hope your day goes well and here's another picture to add to my collection. I don't think I've added this one yet.

Good morning to all my friends and family. I hope you have a wonderful day today. Just thought I'd update you as to the happenings around here for the next several days. Tomorrow is my 3rd chemo treatment!!! I can't believe I'm 1/2 of the way done! Thank You Jesus! Today I start the steroids and insulin again. I think these 3 days are almost my hardest because I HAVE to eat something and I'm not always hungry-especially days 2 and 3. I also see my oncologist tomorrow so I can't wait to find out when we'll do the PET scan or CT or whatever will be done. I can't wait for him to see how much hair I truly do have even though it's a burr. I just didn't like seeing it fall out when I brushed my hair-now I don't have to brush it!! Yeah!!! Got my wig "adjusted" yesterday but it was giving me a headache. I may not even wear it much-we'll see. Everyone says I can do "bald" well, so if it's an encouragement to women or men for that matter to see someone not worrying about how superficial hair is then maybe that's one of the testimonies He has for me to share. It's what is on the inside that counts!!! Jesus loves us no matter what! Big, small, hairy, bald, etc. Get to know Him, He's your BEST FRIEND!!! Ask Him to share your life with you and you'll NEVER be alone!!! Have a wonderful day today.

Does that surprise anyone?? As soon as I get the pictures online, I'll post some new pictures. Well, just wanted to check in briefly, so have an awesome weekend and spend time with the Lord!!!

Hello everyone!!! Well, it's been a busy week and weekend. We had a family wedding and have a ball at it. Zachary really had fun at the wedding. There was music and dancing and he loved it!!!! I went to get my blood work done today and so my white count was low so I'm on antibiotics just in case. Oh I want you to see the new "me". My head reminds me of a young appaloosa that is beginning to "spot out". I have white hair on one side, a polka dot (dark) on the other side and the back is multicolored! I'll add some pictures of some of my hats and wigs but I don't want to do it all at once. My hair was just coming out in handfuls and I was self conscience about it falling out and being all over my clothes or in my food or I'd find it in my mouth during the night. 3rd chemo is next Monday and then I'm 1/2 way done!!! Praise the Lord. I'm really doing well and I'm looking forward to my next scan. As the story about David and Goliath goes, I have thrown 2 stones so far and just have 4 more. Speaking of David and Goliath, I was so excited because when my friend Cheryl went to Israel, she was in the valley where David picked up his stones. She picked some up and brought me one!!! I'm so happy about it. It's in the little bag I have that holds my holding cross. It stays by my bed and is in my hand during chemo and also in my hand when I'm praying. Thank you so much Cheryl for the stone. It's so neat to me. Kimberly is now 4 months along now and doing well. Zachary is talking more and more everyday. He can say "baby, Duchess, Poppy, tries to say Kodi, etc" He's so busy. Whenever he sees pictures of Caleb and Caitlyn , he gets so excited and points at them and tries to say their names. He's such a sweet little guy. We miss Caleb and Caitlyn and we try to talk to them, but that's hard to work out. Our times coming though-they will be here for Thanksgiving and so we'll be happy to see them down here. We'll do our "family Christmas" pictures while they are here. Well, gonna go and get to bed so you all take care and know we are doing well.

I couldn't get the other picture up-just the first one!!! She's beautiful!! Well, I haven't written on this in awhile. Sorry. I've been busy!!! Gee, what have I been up to???? I've had 2 treatments now, hair is thinning and is disappearing, nausea occ. but praise God no vomiting. Well, we found out that Kimberly and Les are having a little GIRL!!!! Yeah!! exciting for all of us. My brother came to visit for a couple of days and we surprised him and celebrated his birthday while he was here. I think he was surprised that we went to the effort. It was worth it all!!! Zachary is growing like a weed, he's now 18 months old and on his way to 19 months old. Caleb and Caitlyn are doing okay, I guess. I haven't gotten to talk to them in a few days. So sad. Love those kids so much. We're enjoying our new church and I'm just so blessed. When I don't feel like going, I watch it online which is great. The website is www.cbclucas.org and you can go to video monitoring and watch services live during the times or recorded. The thing is if it's supposed to be on, then give it a minute or a little while because of HIPPA, the pastor can't give names and faces during prayer times so just hang on and it'll come on. It's very exciting and I'm so blessed to be a part of such an awesome church!!! Not much else going on right now so I'll go and you all have a great day. Have a wonderful weekend.
