Very sorry to hear she has left us. She was so witty and always supportive. Thank you for posting about her.
Re: Stage III Cancer Survivors........20+ years and out
Jacqueline, I remember you from waaay back! I was diagnosed in Nov of 2004 and came here looking for a lifeline. I think my original name here was SherriG. It is so good to see this remarkable update from you and I am so happy you are living large! Congratulations!!
Re: Stage III Cancer Survivors........20+ years and out
Jacqueline! I just checked in for the first time in ages, and am so thrilled to see your thread. You've been a shining light ahead of me for the past 19+ years - I couldn't be happier for you. And it's so wonderful seeing other long-timers showing back up!
My heart is always warmed when I see your username, because I remember back when you told us what it means😍! I'm working on 42 years of marriage myself.
Hugs and hope to us all - Julie

Re: So...whats for dinner?
I went to a concert downtown last night - all 6 Bach's Brandenberg Concertos with nephew & wife & 10 year old daughter. We were supposed to eat a quiet dinner, but they'd had some problems at a Girl Scout gathering in the afternoon so we grabbed something quick at Local Foods. I had broccoli & cheddar soup. Tonight dinner was sauteed asparagus. While it was cooking, I prepped a bunch of things for this week - guacamole, peeled tomatoes, cauliflower, coleslaw. I screwed up & bought a double pack of raspberries last week - WAY too many so I'll have to double down on eating quickly.
Mae - our lows are still in the 70's. Hoping for 60's at night this week, but day time highs are still over 90. And NO rain in my part of town for at least two months. Everything is dead.
Re: So...whats for dinner?
Tonight was “marry me white bean soup”. Northern beans, spinach, spices and cream mainly. DH liked it, I thought it was fine (for a spouse with low expectations) but definitely not as impressive as the name would imply. Today was rainy with temps in the 60’s, so while I don’t like the cold much, I am looking forward to DH making chicken and dumplings 🙂
Re: So...whats for dinner?
Carole, I like watching cooking shows, too. One of my favorites is Patti's Mexican Table. I would never use those recipes since the cooking seems to take all day. From what I've seen traveling they are authentic.
Wally, Spinach is good since DH likes that. I'm sorry the dishwasher installation is taking so long.
Dinner tonight was lamb chops, sautéed baby potatoes and parsnips.
