    Hi,

    Shokk, we have indeed lost many sisters who posted on this thread. 

    I have pictures of CY and Ferne on my desk at work.  Their beautiful smiles and courage inspires me to make the most of my day.   I also have the picture posted above on my desk.   Everyday is a gift and an opportunity to reach out and help someone.

    I saw a beautiful rainbow Friday (returning from my Mom's 80th birthday gathering).  I know it was CY letting me know she is  with me as I await the results of some tests that have me worried.

     Hugs, Madison

    Madison,

    So wonderful to see you.  Oh my gosh ... so many have the picture on their desks. 

    Now, I'll think of you, Blue, Cy and Liz too when I look at it. 

    What a gift to receive from Cy on your way home.

    You are in my prayers as you wait for your test results.

    Much love,

    Bren

    My dear friend Madison........ I know you're concerned but it's going to be okay.  You have so many wonderful friends who care about you and we are here for you.  Seeing the rainbow was CY's way of telling you this. 

    motherof the bride...... what did you report say?  I'm on my way to work so if someone doesn't respond to you, please check out the Not Diagnosed but Worried thread or  Waiting for Results thread. 

    Hugs

    Liz

    Shokk ... I only wish my eyesight was what it used to be!!  Cool

    Can I be the Garden Tender instead of the Scout?

    I'm afraid to ride horses ever since my sisters accident going over a jump.

     All are welcome here.  Everybody needs hope and grace.

    Let's just keep the discussion of other threads on other threads.

    Hi Nico ... think you must know Trixie from way back when. 

    I wasn't here then, but I've read the Circle Thread from the beginning. 

    I joined last fall and love all the gals that posted and miss them.

    Some zinnias from the garden.

    Hi Motherofthebride,

    Here is a link that explains in detail the different bi-rad categories. 

    http://www.imaginis.com/breasthealth/acrbi.asp

    It normally means a biopsy is recommended.  Does not mean it's cancer, could be a fibroid cyst or a number of things.

    Please let us know how you are doing.  Will keep you in our prayers.

    love,

    Bren

    Bren,

    With your highly evolved troll-a-dar, you get to be Director of Wagon Circle Security. And you can tend the flowers garden too. Hope you're having a good day.

    The campfire is still hot from lunch. Stirring up some sugar cookies to bake

    and sqeezing some lemonade. Gather 'round in the shade.

    BinVA, the flowers are a feast for my eyes.

    YEE- HA!!!  Thanks for the welcome.  Let's see -  what can I do?  hhmmm -  I don't cook, so thats out, I hate to clean so won't be doing any of that - I KNOW - since I spend some of my day cleaning up after my animals around here I can do the same thing there!!!  Nothing like some good old horse manure to get you moving - sorry Jan. lol.  If that position is filled there is always the pissy tent!!  Although I remember that being a favorite of Pam's. 

    Just let me know - I'm here to help!!

     bbl,

    Will the Wagonmaster allow another wagon to join the train?  I have had to rehitch my team after a two year rest in the corral at the homestead and we are plodding along on the trail.  We'll be stopping off in a town on Aug 4 to visit a doc who will do a bit of cutting (left brst mast w/immed TUG recon).  Won't be traveling for a little while, resting and recovering,  but could sure use the prayers and support of sisters who have traveled and are traveling the same journey.

    The flowers are so beautiful, BinVA.  I wish I could figure out how to post pictures.  I am fostering a mama cat and her 5 5-wk old kittens.  They make me laugh and are too cute.  I'd like to share them.  I'm getting so attached and it will kill me to go to my volunteer job at PetSmart and see them in cages.  I'll probably lose them just before my surgery and I pray they will get adopted right away to their forever homes.  Since I'll be off for a couple of weeks, perhaps they will be gone when I get back.  At least I'll have lots of pictures.

    I have enjoyed reading this thread over the last hour.  It is absolutely beautiful.  I would consider it a privledge if I could join you.  My grandpa's parents came from Denmark in 1863 and traveled by wagon train to Utah.  My great-aunt used to tell me stories about the trip.  I wonder if any of us 'modern' women would be willing to do what those pioneer women went thru.  I'm not sure I would be strong enough.  Before my back problems, I just to ride and jump horses.  It's probably the part of my past life I miss most.

    Well I'm off to clean some cages.  Thank you for listening and I look forward to being part of the circle of wagons.  God bless you all.

    Welcome Wendy!!!

     If you can post the link to the pics of your kittens, I'll copy it to the picture thingy for you ... and presto magico ... we'll have your kittens on the Wagon Circle.

    So you're a hunter/jumper as well.  My sis is too.  She had a terrible jumping accident a year ago and broke her tib/fib going into her ankle.  I'll post pics of her horse for you.  He's a Fjord!  She's just now thinking of jumping again .. dressage not really being her thing.

    Same for you Shokk .. I'll post your pics for you too! 

     Val - Not sure what the original color was on the green chair.  It was green when I got if for a whole $2.00.  Probably oak or maple.  I'll have to check.  I painted all the clay pots bright colors.

    I'm so happy to see everyone here.  And I'm hungry.  I think it was the sugar cookies ....

    love,

    Bren

    Girls - I am actually in tears seeing this thread so active today, just when I need it!  I'm having a rough time with this round of chemo...it is really kicking my butt.  I think I am going to recline in my tent on some fluffy pillows and watch all the activity around the fire....'cause I'm a circle girl

    Love you guys

    Aw Deb....HUGS to you my friend.  If I were there I would make you some iced tea and fluff your pillows.  I'm sorry you're not feeling well today.

    SoCal...I notice you post a lot of flower pics...are these from your garden?!?  They are gorgeous!

    Oooh, that is nice an fluffy Peggy,Thanks!  I laughed at the fishbones.  My DH, kids, mom and dad went dip netting for red salmon last night and got 14 fish!  Since they weigh about 8 to 10 pounds each we have fish coming out of our ears today...the smoker is ready to fire up and we are having grilled salmon for dinner.  I will throw some on the grill over the fire and share

    Deb ... me too.  Running down my cheeks.

    You always made me so hungry reading the Circle posts when I first joined!

    I wanted to live with you and have dinner at your house every night.

    It's our turn to fix you dinner and look after you.  I'll bring the tomatoes.

    Val - You can use the John Deere when you make the rounds tonight.

    Lisa - The roses are gorgeous and will be beautiful on Deb's table.

    Hi Sige!!!

    Time to feed Bobo, Winston and Maggie.

    love,

    Bren
