    A friend sent this quote to me before surgery and I have kept it with me ever since.
    "Courage is being scared to death,...and saddling up anyway."
    --John Wayne
    Sending out love and hugs and positive energy to all of our sisters....

    Here's my guard dog. She's a 3 month old Teacup Toy Poodle. She's HUGE - all 15 ounces of her!!! She may be cute and her bark may be tiny, but with the right backlight against the wagons...I'm sure we can make her look ferocious!!!

    AWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!

    Ladies...I have brought a friend today. And yes, you are welcome to hike with us...I figured I needed to bring some "protection" from the wild beasts roaming about. Although some of the shaking in the bushes ISN'T any wild animal...just some wild & crazy sisters lettin loose! Go sisters GO!

    Ladies, meet Glen...Glen Danzig. Glen, meet my sisters. The goal here is to slay anything that resembles the beast called Cancer, so be on the lookout, dear! Okay...gonna pack up some lunch and head out shortly...C'mon Glen - let's go.

    I'm headed out...you guys can "catch up" to us...I hear theres some beautiful scenery from the other side! Hope some of you can join us. We're headed toward those mountains to see the other side.

    Be back later this evening. NS - will you and the ladies rustle up some good grub for dinner? We will be STARVING when we get back...I have packed some lunch, but don't expect it to hold us over much past dinnertime. Can't wait to see what you ladies cook up!

    Loved the descriptions of your wagons...if anything scary comes near me though, I'm hiding out with NS...she's got the heavy artillary.

    Sorry I'm late, just got back from town missed alot. My wagon is the old weathered one that needs painting ( my dh is a painter). Ted and I patroled the back forty and everything's quiet there. We may have to move to higher ground with some of our new sisters joining and Carrie keeps bringing the buffalo chips back to the campsite!! Place is starting to smell.
    I made some vegetable stew for us vegans and some peach pie.
    NS, Gossip back in town is Bruce may be available again.....

    Peach pie sounds yummy. I think we need this if Vickie is going to get sand in her thong(s) again...and if Carrie will insist on bringing in those buffalo chips...

    Not a whole lot of the real me left..LOL.
    Bought two pair of jeans today because I'm so sick of hiking my pants up constantly (gaining weight though) and I just grabbed two pairs of size 3. One a pair of Levi's and the other said "superflow"...WRONG...got em home and the second pair say superLOW. Chemo brain got me again. Going to take Nathaniel to a car show tomorrow (he's my little car buff) and I just might wear them super low jeans...take the attention of my super short hair and no boobs!!! hmmm...maybe I'll find a DD prosthesis and a belly shirt too.
    Guess who I found to protect us tonight ladies....

    We are safe and sound with this bunch...although I think someone needs to have a talk with Miss Kitty about her infatuation with Matt...
    Call me goofy but Festus was always my favorite when I was a kid.
    So ladies...no guarding tonight...we are all safe and sound and able to concentrate on babying our dear sisters who need us.

    I am noticing a theme here... and it has me in the chuck wagon...
    tonight I have boneless leg of lamb that has been slow roasted and it is stuffed with spinach, pine nuts and fontina cheese.

    I grilled some asparagus

    And we have roasted new potatoes with garlic and fresh rosemary.

    Maybe when fancy is out on a beer run she could pick us up a nice wine to go with dinner?

    Someone made the peach pie so we are good to go!

    Dinner is at 8.

    Carrie, buffalo chips are not permitted.

    Yes I am a Jersey Girl. Go to the shore almost every weekend. Bruce was supposed to marry me way back when. Then that Julianne Phillips took him from me..
    But now that he may be back, we can fight over and then share him. Isn't that what sisters do??

    Cowgirls, James Taylor called and he may stop by with his guitar to sing us to sleep tonight. We should have such a soft and peaceful night with his voice...
