Good morning everyone, there is no place like home!!! Thank you Lord for letting me get home. Didn't sleep well last night because of the cough, so hopefully a nap will do the trick. I'm still on antibiotics and I go for labwork tomorrow and see how I'm doing. Will have to keep you posted. I was so excited today that I got to "go" to church online today. My brother Larry also went to church with me from parts unknown-haha, and then Kimberly did also-Zachary has a cold. It's nice to have family attending church together!!! The kids made it back to Maryland safely-thank you Jesus for that and Christopher just got home also. Gotta run and do some lunch preparation from the bed for making fresh tea.

Hello everyone, Sorry I haven't written in a while because I'm in the hospital since Wed. night. Had hospital turkey and dressing. I may get to go home today so we'll see. I have to have a chest x-ray this morning and then we'll see how it goes. My counts dropped so low they were basically non-existant and I couldn't fight a flea and win. I'll keep you posted because I'm going for a chest film right now.

Hi everyone, Well, I have rested all day and hopefully feeling a little better this evening. I have been a good girl and rested since my treatments!! The kids are going to be here tomorrow sometime and we're so excited to see them. I know they are looking forward to getting here for a few days. I wish the weather was going to be better-Christmas pictures may be somewhat different this year if we have rain and don't get the cards out until new year. Oh well, we'll see. I have a prayer request for you-a friend is in the hospital and needs prayers. Keep it as an unspoken request because God knows what it is and I don't need to mention it. In case, I don't write before Thanksgiving, we hope your holiday is a great one!!!! I think I have a picture I can put on here. This was at a fun Pumpkin Patch in OK that Kimberly, Zachary and I went to. It was great fun. Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Hello everyone. Today was my chemo treatment # 4 along with my Dr. visit. Dr. Brook's said I was doing well, and he was pleased with my progress. I had one of of the Cancer marker tests back and it was all within normal limits so I was excited about it. Praise the Lord. My treatment was about 3 hours so it was a shorter day. The grand children will be here on Sunday so I'm going to rest as much as I can this week so I'll hopefully feel good while they are here. We can't wait to see them and they are excited to be coming down. We're already trying to make some plans for them, I just hope I can participate in the plans but at least they'll understand what's going on with me. As long as they see that I'm healthy and doing well, then that's okay. Unfortunately my last treatment has to be the day that they come for Christmas. I was hoping to put it off for a week but Dr. Brooks said that I needed to keep to the schedule. I will also have the PET scan the week they are here. I'll be glad to start the new year with good results. I hope you all have a good evening and a great rest of the week. Love you all.

Arbuckle Wilderness!!!!




What an exciting night!! We had dinner with friends and we're watching the election returns. I'm getting ready to go to bed though in a just a little bit!!! I can't believe we're already in November!!! Time goes too quickly. So much goes on this month. Birthdays, my favorite holiday-Thanksgiving and OF COURSE my MOST favorite shopping day plus we watch Chevy Chase's Christmas Vacation. So many traditions and so much thankfulness. I've got a couple of pictures to add. Not in order cause I struggle getting things in a line but football fun, pumpkin patch fun and also taking Kimberly and Z to the Arbuckle Wilderness park.



Well who looks better in the wig, Bryan or I? hahaha. Everyone still says that I'm doing the buzz cut "well". It doesn't bother me one way or the other. To me, I look strange with hair this color and this length. Bryan likes it though. Yesterday at the office, it was so funny. I was wearing my wig into get my blood drawn and the girls were asking me about how my hair was doing. I told them it was growing and pulled my wig off to show them. When they finished, we walked back out to the waiting room and this woman did a double take at me. I laughed and said, "they took more than my blood!" It was so funny. She said, "I didn't realize you were even wearing a wig!" Funny day. I wan't you to hear that story. I have a picture of the cutest little skunk in the world. He was a skunk for trick or treating the other night and he looks so sweet. I want to add his picture also.I wish we had a picture of Caleb and Caitlyn in their costumes. Maybe Christopher can ask for one. Have a good day everyone.

Hey everyone, We are doing okay. I had a long day today, I had to get my blood work done . We went to Kimberly's house for dinner tonight. She cooked us a wonderful dinner to help celebrate our 40th year wedding anniversary. Ruby is the color for 40 for we wore red, had red plates, napkins, etc. We had red skinned potatoes, stuffed tomatoes, etc. It was wonderful. She worked so hard all day to fix stuff and to make it a great day. We had a nice time thanks to the Cornelius family! Well, I'm heading for bed now so write more later.
