    Wow,lots of people here today and how great! It was abt this time last yr when I saw my eye dr and today,made it through another exam. Sending a special Tarheel blue sky to anyone in need of one today...gorgeous day here. Hello to all of you and how beautiful your roses are,Lisa,as all the pics are.Thinking of you,Deb,and hoping your Wed is much better. Sorry that the day has been so challenging.

    Bren,your flowers are beautiful,too! I know you have worked hard and what an accomplishment!

    Sure could use some of those sugar cookies...sounds good... Anyone for a dip in a cool creek under some cool,shady trees? I'm not there...I am in my mind...

    Just a quick fly by from the resident exorcist. Doesn't look like any evil spirits are  lurking.

    DebC good to see you. Sorry the chemo is being a pain. Sending soft hugs and pillows your way.

    Sige, we've never met, but glad to see you. I'm the resident BuffyKiss

    Bren, I can see you patroling the parameter of the wagon circle on the John Deere. I can sleep at night knowing you have my back.

    Shokk, where are you? Do conservative Repubicans believe in exorcist? If I run for president,  could I count on them to support me?

    Be back later.

    Evening girls......

    Shokk..... I did agree to return to work part-time in April.  Long story short is it was a situation that I felt I couldn't say no to.  I'm working between 30 - 35 hrs a week right now wishing it were less.  LOL  I really got used to being "retired". 

    Peggy.... so good to see you!  What's new?

    DebC... gentle hugs.  I hate to hear that you're having a bad go of this round. 

    CherrylH.... wow!  How have you been?

    Iris!..... so very good to see you.

    Bren... cool chairs and I love your porch

    Valerie.... hidey ho to you

    See.... my brain is now officially malfunctioning.  I know there are many others who posted and I didn't take notes.  Sorry!   

    Madison..... it's going to be okay!  I'm not to far to make the drive if you need me.

    Okie dokey.... the brain is officially clicked off.  Geesh I hate when I do this. 

    So big hugs and prayers to you all........

    Liz

    Hey,

    It's me again. I just realized that over the last few days posters elsewhere on this forum have advocated for the removal of this thread in very harsh terms and made some incredible accusations. Instead of eliminating the thread, the exact opposite has occured. Like the phoenix, we have risen from the ashes.

    Long live the Wagon Circle and all the wonderful spirits here, past, present and future. There is no way anyone on this forum or outside of this forum can delete us. We are sisters. We are women. Hear us roar.

    Good night.

    Hi Deb,

    So sorry you are feeling bad.  I feel so guilty sometimes because I feel like I'm getting off so easy w/just surgery.  Those of you going through chemo are the real heroes.  I watched my mother, sister and aunt go through it and had told myself that there was no way I was that brave.  I guess God knew I meant it and allowed a BC that could be dealt w/surgery.  You chemo sisters are the bravest people I know.

    Shokk, thank you for the kind words.  My grandfather came east from Utah to the Cleveland Clinic because of his stuttering and ended up marrying the bosses daughter.  He never went back. They ended up settling in MI.

    We would go out to visit the aunts and uncles each year when I was a child and then I went out several times by myself w/David when he was very young.  The town of Fillmore was just way too laid back for my DH.  The center of town consisted of one street, but I loved it.  Since grandpa was one of 13 kids, I had quite a few 2nd and 3rd cousins that it was fun to visit.  However, since the last great-aunt died, I haven't been out there.  I've got to get back.  I have an antique sewing machine that she gave me sitting at a neighbors house waiting for me.  At least I hope it's still waiting.

    Bren, thank you for the offer to post the pictures.  I think your sister is so courageous to start jumping again!  I feel so fortunate that I have never fallen off, knock on wood.  Fjord's are so beautiful and are wonderful jumpers.  I would really like to start riding again but until the back is fixed, it's just too painful and since the back surgery is more than I can handle in the near future, it's going to be awhile.  It's funny, last summer when they told me I needed the back surgery, I told them "NO WAY!  I had had 4 surgeries in '06, 5 if you count the mast and recon as 2, and 1 was a total knee replacement.  I just couldn't handle any more surgery, both emotionally and physically".  Then this year, being hit with BC and surgery that I just can't say "no" to.  God has a real funny sense of humor.

    Time to tidy up the camp and roll out the sleeping bag.  Thank you Circle Girl's for welcoming me so warmly.  I have a small circle of close friends here at home and with all of you, a large circle of caring sisters.  God bless you all.

    Gosh,  I know I posted about 5:34 this evening, but the post is now somewhere with the cyber monster.

    My onc is trying to find out why my RBC keeps dropping so he will be doing a bone marrow biopsy next week.........I hate waiting for all the tests and results.

    I know CY is watching over us all.   I saw this rainbow Friday

    Am I dreaming?  This seems like a place one would want to pull up a sleeping bag to... Under the night sky I smell something interesting.... is it harmony?   Oh my!!!  I believe it is.  I am so thrilled to come here tonight and see all these posts.   Welcome and welcome back!!  My heart is full.

    Dear Deb C... so sorry you are having a tough time with this chemo.  You have been so strong and brave and we are all so proud of you.  Here... I am throwing you one of these big long body pillows to help you be more comfy.  You just settle in and let us take care of you.

    So glad that we have the perimeters covered... John Deere huh?  I can dig that.  Madison, so good to see you, but I am sorry that you have so much to be concerned about.  Know that we will continue to pray for you and for good results.

    And Valerie, just for the record... I think it was  you that asked about the pissy tent..... well it kind of had to be burned after the last year..... you can only stay in a pissy tent so long... but we can get a new one when necessary!!!

    Thank you all so much for coming together here in a show of support for one another.  God bless you all.  I think I will take a walk around the perimeter myself before tucking in for the night.  Maybe I can hitch a ride on the John Deere.  Just out of curiosity..... did anyone bring chocolate?

    G ... I'll take a smore ... thank you!  I'm always hungry.

    Madison - Thanks for sharing the rainbow with us.

    Time to find Val and fire up the John Deere.  She's got the watch tonight.  Pammy jump on up there ... lots of room.

    Sweet dreams friends.

    love you all,

    Wow how wonderful is this?..........Gina so good to see you............you know it was interesting that someone posted to me that this thread should be removed..........my daughters are on vacation with their dad and I have had some time to go back and read this wonderful thread............a flood of memories came rushing back to those sleepless steroid induced nights when at three in the morning you could post about being so scared and someone would respond.........usually DebC because of her time difference..........we have had our ups and downs.......not all personalities match up but you know what Circle Girls it doesn't matter..........we all do understand each other......no matter what our backgrounds are, no matter what our political leanings may be, no matter from where we come from, what state or country we live in............we all share one thing and that is cancer........such an ugly word.........but what are we to do?..........give each other's cyber hugs, encourage one another, hold each others cyber hands, wipe away cyber tears............all I have got to say is I thank God for this one thread.....of all the threads here at bc.org this was always my favorite............thanks Liz for welcoming us home.........Denise once sent me a magnet Dorothy (from the wizard of oz) because I kept having to hide in my closet because of tornado warnings........it still is on my refrigerator and it's not because of tornado's tonight but because there's no place like home............Shokk

    DebC, so sorry for the rough patch this round. Rest easy, we'll keep the pillows fluffed

    and the s'mores stacked up on the platter. The fire is low through the night but the decaf is hot

    and the herbal teas abundant.

    Circling the Wagons with love and prayers.

    The embers are glowing. The crickets are chirping. The owl hoots now and then.

    The Circle is quiet. Wishes for a peaceful sleep to all.

    Good Morning Sunshine!  What a fantastic morning.  Most of you know I just went back to work from a wonderful vacation and I have been so busy I havent even had time to come say hello.  And look what happened while I was gone. 

    Its so good to see all of you.  Im giggling because already, there is no way I will catch up with everyone.   So many posts and Im behind already.  So today I will just say howdy.  May your day be filled with the warmth of the sun, may your hearts be filled with love and may you stay forever young.
