Hi Nicki Bren
It is so great to be back with my sisters.I said it before and I will say it many more times,I dont think I would have made it without this thread.all of you have been such a blessing to my heart.
Deb,I am so very sorry yo u are having it so rough,I know what a low h&h feels like after my 3 sugery last year after the expanders were put in and then one took out my h&h was 7 and 22 and that was after 4 untis.boy i wasnt hardly able to walk to the bathroom.But I had had 3 sugeries in 4 weeks by that time and my body was just exausted.After I went home was placed on iron and protonix for 2 months and gradually it began to climb it is still not up to normal levels yet.But I do know how you feel.I am praying for you.
Susanmc:How are you.
where is pinkstock going to be this year?I wish i could be there.
Madison:how are you?
where are the rest of the wagon girls?I am at a total loss as to the goings ons here.

Lots of familur faces here, and a few new ones. I don't know if I have said hello to Nico yet. Howdy from up North
Thanks for the coffee cake. Tell us a little about yourself.DFW - not sure if I have said hello to you either...chemo brain! I will keep Daniel in my prayers.
I'm not even going to try and say hello to everyone by name...I know I will leave people out!
I am feeling better as the day goes on. I'm actually feeling like eating today, so I must be getting better
I think sometimes I just try and bully my way through the side effects when in reality I should just go back to bed!My dad just made a huge batch of smoked salmon that is SO good. For lunch how about a Smoked Salmon frittata with dill and sour cream? I also have some really good homemade sourdough bread...yum.
Hugs all around

Deb, I'm so glad to see you posting here. I think about you alot and am really pulling for you through this chemo. It sounds like you are feeling better, that's great. Keep getting the rest you need.
Robin, good to see you, too.
Nico, not sure who you are, but you seem pretty comfy here in the circle.
Nicki, I like the remodeling you've done. I'm planning to take a dip in the pool here. Then I'll be ready to sit by the campfire and enjoy some toasted marshmallows.

Well hello and Happy Friday to everyone. It's the week-end and Im just feeling really good and happy. Moved to my new office, went shopping with my husband (not gonna tell ya that I bought Canoli cake and cream puff), plus lots of other stuff I remember from when I was a child. Loving this new store that just open 1/4 mile from my house.
Bren: Im figuring that we have known each other just over a year now. Time sure does fly. I know you recently celebrated you 1 year anniversay. Still so new in this journey. Hoping all went well with that doctors appointment today.
Doris: We have been close and I miss talking to you. You were there when I was first diagnosed and so supportive on the chat. Then we parted. Then we started talking again here on the discussion boards and now you have been out of my life again. I miss you a whole bunch.
Valerie: By time you read this you will be gone for a little bit. Know that both you and Bill are in my prayers. I just know it will be ok. Bill and I have the same appointment on the same day. Cancelled todays appointment and rescheduled for Monday. Anyways, just remember, the hardest time seemed to be when treatment was done. Thats where Bill is at now. Big hugs to you and Bill.
Robin: It's so nice to hear from you. I have read some of your recent posts and I am so glad things are going great with going back to school. Im gonna be really proud of you once you finish. Something I would love to reach for, but never will. You are so right. I would not have been able to get through my journey with this thread. Hope we can help others - new circle girls - going through chemo and rads. Anyways sending you a big smooch. BTW! Nothing is going on. I think when we lost CY is was very hard on all of us. We also have moved on with our journeys - trying to get back to a normal life style. We have so much in our hearts we can share with others. Anyways - Im getting sentimental. Good to see you.
SoCal: Wondering what wonderful things of nature you found on your walk today. I went shopping with my husband. Bought a slice of wedding canoli cake and a cream puff. Why? Cause they were on sale. I sure better do alot of swimming this week-end.
DebC: Bullying your way through treatment is an understatement. You are looking at this journey, staring it in the eye, and say I will be damned if you think your gonna stop me. Such an inspiratation! Im glad you are feeling better today. Now I want to know are you sharing that smoked salmon? Really, its dinner time and Im getting hungry.
Sheri: You pogo nut. How the heck are you? Hoping all is going well and that so far this summer has been good to you. I was disappointed in the beginning but Im pretty happy the way summer is going now. Eveyrday seems like a holiday. BTW the swimming pool will change into an ice skating rink, and there are some great hills for sledding once winter comes. Which I hope isnt for a while.
Shokk: Hmmmm I didnt see a post from you today. Are you hanging out in that political thread again?
Iris: I know I saw a post from you while I was away for a couple of days. Hope life is being kind to you. Love the fact that its the week-end, cause I like to play with youtube. Gotta find the right song for you.
Liz: What no food today? Pouting since you have had to go back to work.
Valerie: The more I think about it, remember that those 3 months when treatment finished were so hard emotionally. Probably my hardest time and I think thats what Bill is going through.
Dawn: You are in my prayers tonight and hoping the light is shining brightly from the campfire to your heart.
Little boy: Here's a hug and know that you are loved.
Mensa: Where did you go? Hoping life at the homestead is good.
So many more to say hello to. Im glad its the week-end. I will be able to catch up with everyone. Have a great Friday evening.

Good Afternoon All
It is good to see so many of the ladies I remember from when I first joined 2 yrs ago.
Deb, glad to see you're feeling better. Smoked salmon.....mmmmmmmmm!
RobinTN, howdy. Good to see you too.
Thanks for your good thoughts Nicki. You have always been a great boost for me.
So I am waiting til Tuesday to get my mammo results. Why is it that once it's been done and you're waiting that you get all these wierd pains in your boob?! I have had odd pains there before, but now I get a nagging ache. A month ago I had two lymph nodes pop out, one under my non-surgical arm side and the other on my neck. Everybody said they were just reactionary (yeah...I was reacting all right!) but I hadn't been sick! By the time I got in for an U/S they were normal again, but I have NEVER before been able to feel my lymph nodes anywhere! Then two weeks ago a big bump appeared on my calf, never hit it on anything and two plus weeks later the bruise that appeared is just fading! So usually I try not to worry about the yearly mammo, but this year I am and you guys are my strength when I am worried. Thanks for letting me wallow for a bit.
I am working 12 hr night tonight so will take a turn around the Circle on my breaks and make sure all is well, maybe stop for some coffee and cake if there's any brewing in the wee hours of the morning.

Lynn: I cant tell you how good it is to see you. Mammogram is done - now the wait begins. Breast cancer has taught us to wait, wait, wait. Heck I had an appointment with my onc today and cancelled it. Wanted to enjoy the week-end without any heavy feelings praying on my mind. Didnt get away with much though - Got rescheduled for Monday. Hugs to you and sure hope to see you more often around here.

I haven't had a chance to read, but wanted to say this. I'll try to catch up this weekend.
At 5:40 pm 3 years ago, I learned I had breast cancer. It's been a hard wild ride, but I'm still here. I'm on my way to an ACS Relay for Life in a neighboring town with a friend who was diagnosed with breast cancer 8 years ago today at 4:50 pm. We're then going out for dinner & drinks.
Thank you all so much for being here when I needed you. jenni_ca, Sherloc, purpleMB, Nicki and many others - you'll never know how much you mean to me. You took my hand when I entered the chat room the first time and were there for me day and night.
Hugs, Prayers & Love
Liz

Good evening circle girls-
I think I'm through the worst of what ever these weird side effects were. I'm doing a lot better. Thanks for all the good wishes and prayers.
DFW - Still keeping little Daniel in my prayers.
Hey Robin - Hope things are going well with you. Give us an update, what is up with you? I have not seen a post from Susan here lately, but I got a message from her a few weeks ago. Pinkstock is at MaryBeth's house again. There is a thread about it.
Nico - I lived in MI for a lot of years and I do miss some things about the Midwest. We can grow lots of things, but some of my favorite flowers won't grow here, Like Wisteria and Babies Breath. I miss those. I also miss the big thunderstorms, something else we don't have here.
Nicki - I hope we will see more of you this weekend. Help yourself to all the smoked salmon you would like....we have lots.
Bren - I'm feeling a lot better. I'm glad you like my blog. I was thinking of taking some of the old photos off, but if people are still looking at them, maybe I should keep them there
Hope your PCP got things sorted out.Valerie - hope you had a good day. Good to see you!
Lisa - If you get a second, blow some warm weather this way! It has been a cold drippy summer for us. We could use a bit of SoCal sunshine.
Sheri - good to see a post from you. Hope things are good for you. I found Pogo and have been playing Popit. Kind of fun.
Lynn - Sorry you are in waiting mode...that sucks. You can wallow here any time.
Liz - hope you had fun with your friend tonight. I have a hard time with anniversary dates. Hope you don't! Big hugs and congrats on 3 years.
Margaret - Good to see you too! What's up in your life?
Puppy - sending you hugs and prayers. Hope you are doing well.
My Mom and Dad took my daughters and my nephew on a camping trip. We are watching their two dogs, and I am afraid there 15-year-old Cocker Spaniel may have had a mini stroke. She walked into a corner tonight and acted like she didn't know how to turn around and get out of it. She is eating and drinking fine, but acting a bit odd. I called my mom and she said just to keep an eye on her. I know I will be up and down all night checking on her....like I can really do anything. She is a good little dog, but she has a slow growing cancer and several other health problems, so Mom doesn't want to do anything but keep her here at home and comfortable. She spends as much time here as she does at my Mom and Dad's, so I know she is comfortable. Sheesh, the things we do for pets...
OK, I think I got to say HEY to everyone from this page. If I missed anyone blame it on chemo brain! If I go back any further I will lose this, so I think I will sign off for the night.
Hugs

SheriH, Lynn48, DebC,
I do feel comfy here in the Circle. So much care and understanding among the sisters!
DebC, so happy to hear you're feeling better. So sorry to hear about the nose/sinus issues. A few weeks ago I had emergency surgery to stop a nose bleed like the one you describe. NOT FUN. Have to delay chemo for two weeks to get it healed. Does your doc seem concerned that you have had this for some time?
My favorite place in the entire country is Alaska! We had friends in Glacier Bay and spent several vacations there fishing, kayaking and enjoying the breath taking lnadscape. Our plans are for a family trip next summer to celebrate the end of chemo and rads.
Smoked salmon, OMG. My mouth is watering. May need a bib here if you keep talking about it. LOL.
The coffee pot is on the grate and there is still some coffee cake Lynn, so stop on by.
BinVA, the tractor is gassed up and ready to go. Unfortunately my hedge hog is the walk behind type, how hilly is your property? It does a great job of clearing brush but hooooo is it work!!
A nice quiet night again in the Circle, rest easy Circle Girls, see you at breakfast.

Good Morning Everyone: Its wonderful being able to sit here and read without feeling rushed. I do love the week-end. Raining here at the Illinois end of the circle. We sure need it as its been hot, humid, and dry all week. My plants and flowers will be very happy. Its a nice sounds though, hearing rain drops hitting the roof from a summer storm. Hope it doesnt rain all day though cause I had big plans of gardening and swimming!
I ate my cream puff last night. Havent had one since I was a little girl. It wasnt as good as I remembered. Funny - I actually was trying to justify it telling my husband there arnt that many calories in this. He quickly reminded me "its a cream puff for Petes sake." The fat and sugar counts must have been hitting record highs! Couldnt finish the whole thing - and now this morning, Im thinking about just throwing the rest of it out. Ive returned to my senses lol. When your dieting, one does not eat cream puffs.
Tried to let my dog Mister out. Being half black lab and half border collie he is supposed to love the water. He stuck his head out the patio door and walked back in. Said no way Im going out in that rain. It actually cracked me up. Now if I put a leash on him and said lets go for a walk in the front yard he would be going nuts about now.
No thunder, no lightening - just a pleasant sound of rain drops falling on our wagons.
Didnt have to make breakfast today, I just walked over and grabbed some of that smoked salmon. Why is it you can eat salmon anytime of the day? Made a batch of sun tea and enjoying a glass of iced tea. Put a little lemon in it and a fresh mint leaf from my herb garden.
Lynn: I used to work 12 hour shifts and I have a love/hate relationship with them. Working 3 days would equal full time pay for me, but boy those were long days or long nights. Im thinking you are probably still at work right now. Hope you have today off. Pain and worry free is what Im wishing for you.
Liz: Wow, your post brought tears to my eyes. I can almost remember the first time we met in the chat. Those were some good times, despite the fact that breast cancer brought us together. It did seem like we were on the chat day and night back then. Walking the Relay with a friend who was diagnosed the same day as you must have been an emotional experience. Im sending big hugs to you. Hate what brought us together, but Im sure glad we met. You will always have a special place in my heart.
MargaretB: Its so good to hear from you. Coming here again does bring back many good memories. I have probably never mentioned this before but I love you avatar. You look so cute and happy. That picture makes me smile everytime I see a post from you.
Puppy: Loved the picture. It must be showing us how much love is sparkling in your heart. Hoping you continue to recover. Always good to see you, but I miss talking to ya.
DebC: If I were you I wouldnt move any of those pictures off your blog. I go there on and off and still like to look at all those pics. Some of them, I can remember you telling us the story behind them. Im definitely gonna have computer time - except for when I have to share it with my DH. This morning will be my catch up time. BTW - the salmon was marvelous.
Nico: You sure keep crazy hours, you must be a night owl. Im the exact opposite. Sorry to hear that you had nose bleeds and that your in the middle of chemo. What chemo are you getting, maybe some of us can help you get through those side effects.
I finially had a chance to go back and read everyones recent posts. Cant believe how many pages I had to go through in such a short time. For the first time, in along time, I had to take notes.
SoCal: Thanks for reviving this special place with those hugs. I sure am happy you got good news about the liver varices. Losing 30 pounds is an incredible accomplishment. I always love seeing your pictures. You and Wild/Jan make it seem so easy to catch the beauty of nature.
Bren: Along with Lisa, I wanted to thank you also for bringing back this special place. So much love, comfort and friendships here. I was sorry to read about your sisters accident on the horse. I dont remember hearing that story from you before - its sounds like that was a very bad break. How is your sister doing now? I hoope all is ok. I sorta laughed picturing you riding a John Deere tracter around the perimeter of the circle. Reminded me of Green Acres lol. I was looking for your wagon and couldnt miss it. Its the one with all the pretty zinneas around it. If you are the Garden tender - would you please come to my wagon and help me today. Weeds keep growing faster than the flowers.
Shokk: This forum will always be here. It has too many memories and is a special place for those needing support. You better watch out today, if it stops raining and you come by my wagon, I might just push you in my pool. Its gotta be hotter than heck in Texas - so a quick dip would feel great.
Blue: I have to tell you that I just loved the picture. Didnt know the meaning behind it until the explanation that it was sent to Charlie. That just made me start crying. I do miss our CY. She always found the wagon circle comforting and as I went back to the beginning and was reading all of the older posts, it was hard reading hers. She was with us for so long, and now shes gone.
Valerie: Well if your cleaning up after the animals, you might be sorry. I still have Distorted Humor - he is my retired race horse and can leave some really big dumps when he wants to.
Madison: BMB is scheduled for the upcoming week? I know its gonna be ok. Just thinking of Cy and Ferne brought some warmth in my heart. I will never forget either of them. Sending lots of hugs your way.
Motherofbride: I didnt have a chance to officially welcome you. Dont have much computer time during the week anymore. I hope you got the answers you were looking for, and please keep coming back. You will find alot of love here.
Cherryl: Yep, I think I heard you walking the perimeters last night. You thought you were walking on your tippy toes. Truth be said, I briefly lost my believe in God when I was diagnosed and after meeting everyone here - my belief has returned. I just need to learn to pray when I dont want something. Always seems Im praying when Im asking for help. All one has to do is look around at this beautiful world. As it turns from night to day - full of so much love and kindness. Im so glad we are friends.
Wendy: Im glad you found the wagon circle and hope to see you again. Forstering a mama and 5 kittens. I would be in heaven. Love baby kitties so much. It was good to hear you are on the road to recovery now. Very nice meeting you.
Peggy: Iced tea and fluffy pillows. Will you come play at my house today?
Iris: Wow, its so good to see you. Why did I get this huge feeling in my heart when I saw a post from you? Because you are probably one of the sweetest persons I have met here. Sending big hugs to you.
Neese: Yep, dieting is my favorite thing to do. I remember when you first went on that visa diet and I remember your story about your husband having you hold something that weighed 40 pounds when you lost all that weight. Its still remarkable to me. And I did get another good laugh when I saw that dryer being fixed by your DH. This time around, Im gonna do the same thing you are doing with dieting. Im gonna do it my way, and just try to eat healthy things. So dont even think of slapping my hand for eating that cream puff. It was an impulsive moment.
Pammy: Its always good to see you. I love the word Harmony! Just says it all. I tried to go to Gillson Park yesterday to get a picture for you, but was so busy, couldnt do my usual drive and walk along the shore. Maybe next week. I always think of you and Colleen when Im at Lake Michigan.
Barb: A big hello to you. Yes its nice, the wagon circle will always be home to many old and new members here. Its a special place.
Odalys: Hoping all is going well. Dont need to be in Florida right now as we are having our own little hot spell here. I dont mind the heat, but the humidty just gets to me. Ever since chemo I have developed a heat intolerance. Only way I can be outside is to be standing is cool water.
Robin and Lucy: Im sending big hugs and waving to you this morning.
To all my friends. Those who I no longer see or hear from anymore, those of you who have come back to the circle, those of you who have become angels, those of you who have not yet come to the circle. This song is for everyone out there.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtGF2m102Wg
There are a few sisters Im putting in the circle of love. Dawn is still in my prayers. Stephanie - we know that "God is Able." My friend Diane - I think about you everyday and pray that you can get through your current treatment with out any of the concerns you have been having lately. DebC - yep, your in that circle of love too. Somehow when I think of you in that big comfortable chair - I still see you smiling. We are beautiful dammit!
Have a wonderful morning.

What a great post this morning, Nicki. I liked reading up on everyone.
Deb, I'm so glad you are feeling better. I feel bad for your parent's dog. We had something similar happen to my parent's dog when they went on vacation. My brother was staying at their house and their dauchhound must have had a stroke and died in her doggy bed. My brother called me and we had to take it to the humane society. It was sad. My parent's weren't terribly surprised, that dog had been through a lot in her long life.
I need to grabe some breakfast, at least my morning coffee.

I haven't heard anymore from little Daniel. Friends from out of state were in a campground near here and I ran into Daniel there. That couple should be returning home this weekend and I hope they can help me get contact information for Daniel, and then I will see what I can do to help. Keep those prayers coming in for him, we know God is able.
Liz...seems like we have known each other longer than 3 years; I remember when you came to chat. My dx was August 6, 2004. We will overcome!
Sheri, I haven't seen you on pogo for quite some time...have wondered about you. I was in KY June 21st & 22nd for a funeral but was riding with my sis & bil so we just buzzed right on through Danville. When I am down and doing the driving I will definitely try to meet up with you.
Nicki...I don't post much anymore nor do I often go to chat. Been working in the yard a lot this summer, took out all my old landscaping and expanded and putting in new, hard work but it is looking pretty. Still running to the nursing home a lot to see my mother, she has gone from pureed diet to baby food and isn't eating much of that. Today is her 85th birthday.
Robin, I would love to take in little Daniel myself, he is the cutest little guy.
Puppy....so beautiful
Deb, the last few years sure haven't been good to you, yet you just keep going and going. What an inspiration you are to all of us. I love reading your posts and the sharing of your family with us. Helps me to feel less lonely. That poor little dog, they are like family. Bob brought the 2 cats I have home from where he worked. He always said they were retired with full benefits, they have health care, food & lodging and anything else they need. I miss Bob
Bren, I keep your bracelet on my coffee table. It reminds me of the love you have for others and me. I feel the same way toward you. Praying everything gets worked out with your care team and you get some peace of mind.
Nico, it seems that Nicki knows who you are. I am still trying to figure you out, seems I should know you if she does.
I have visited this circle a lot over the past but have never had my own wagon...maybe this time I will check into that.

Good Morning Friends,
Liz .. Congrats! Hope you had a wonderful night last night.
Nico - Geez .. Don't want to push the bushhog ... Mr. Tim will use the riding mower today and get started on my old path. Yep, the fields go up and down. But, at the bottom is a beautiful area with big shaded trees and a stream. I like to walk down there, always see a few turtles, plus it's good exercise.
Doris - Lots of hugs and love to you.
Hi Sheri!
Hi Nickster - Yep, I'll pick some zinnias for you! I've been giving my tomatoes away to everyone! Even my doc and her staff .. they loved them! My bug man loved them. He said his 2 year-old eats them for snacks. Although, I think he should've sprayed my house for free this month, since I had to clean up that toxic spill he made in my garage! What a mess.
I'm out of time this a.m. ... going to Lowes to get the pavers and sand to finish the little patio under my gazebo.
Will be back later to check on everyone and all those I've missed this morning!
love,
Bren

Hidey Ho! A big hello to everyone. Just popping in. So for those of you who havent met him, this is my dog "Mister." He looks cute and adorable doesnt he? Well its still raining out. Poor doggy doesnt want to get wet. I tried pushing him out my patio door by his butt. He stood up against the door - the only part of the patio that is dry. So here we go. Put my gym shoes on, get an umbrella and say "big dog want to go for a walk in the front yard." By gosh, by golly - he couldnt wait to go out. Funny how our animals run our lives sometimes. Now Im walking my dog, not the usual morning walks, but a bathroom walk - with an umbrella!
Debbie: I dont go to the chat anymore, cause I just dont have the time cause of working so much. But I know you from there and it is so nice to see you stop by the wagon circle. The camping trip sounds - well - sorta like fun. Hope you have a camper with a bathroom! I need my bathroom and a place to shower. Sounds like you are waiting for results of a test. Im sending lots of positive energy you way and hoping the wait isnt long and the results are good. Hoping you keep coming back, we do give lots of support and have lots of fun too.
Bren: So you are the farmer and I am the wanna be farmer. You are giving away tomatoes and Im still counting the little babies that are growing on my 3 bushes. If I harvest one I will be a happy camper.
Sheri: So hard when we lose our pets. They become family. Although today I have been chasing my animals all over the house. My female cat is in heat, and although neutered - she has my male cat and goofy dog going a bit bonkers today. Just finished breakfast myself.
Doris: Gosh its so good to hear from you. I am so sorry I forgot all about your mom being in the NH. This has been a long hard road for both of you. I too have spents lots of time in my garden, although I wouldnt exactly call it landscaping for me lol. Putting both you and your mom in the middle of the circle and praying for some pain relief for both of you. BTW you do know me so well. I sent you a pm with big hugs in it for you.
Shokk: Im waving at you.
OK gotta go do something productive. Still raining here!

Loose Living & Cheap Women
A man who reeked of alcohol flopped on a subway seat next to a priest. The man's tie was stained, his face was plastered with red lipstick, and a half empty bottle of rum was sticking out of his ripped jacket pocket.
He opened his newspaper and started reading. After a few minutes, the disheveled guy turned to the priest and asked "Say, Father, do you know what causes arthritis?"
The priest, disgusted by the man's appearance and behavior snapped "It's caused by loose living, being with cheap, wicked women, too much alcohol, and a contempt for your fellow man!"
"Well, I'll be," the man muttered and returned to his newspaper.
The priest, thinking about what he had said, nudged the man and apologized, "I'm sorry to have come on so strong - I didn't mean it. How long have you been suffering from arthritis?"
"I don't have it, Father. I was just reading here that the Pope does."Have a fast connection and want more features? Try the full version to see message previews in your inbox. (It's free, too.) 0 -
Hey Nico-
Sorry you are on the nose-bleed team. My doc knows all about me getting them. Usually they are just s slow trickle, and sometimes I go 2 or 3 days without one, but most of the time I get them every day. The Avastin I'm on causes nose bleeds and the Abraxane causes dry nose, so between the two...well...you get the picture. The ENT said since it is diffuse bleeding the cauterizing surgery thing won't really work. If I want to stay on the Avastin that seems to be working, I just need to deal with them the best I can. If they get bad enough that I get bleeds I can't get to stop I will have to go off the Avastin.
Did your friend live in Gustavus? I knew a teacher whose last name was Knight that summered there for years. Glacier Bay is beautiful.
Hey Nicki - Thanks for the sunshine...we need it. It has been SO rainy here.
I have a great recipe for home-made cram puffs....sonce you are trying to be good, I won't give it to you
Are you trying to quit smoking and diet at the same time? Good luck girl! Any you are right...we are ALL beautiful Damn ithttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcH-A1hJzEc
The video on the clip is not very good, but it is the only one I can find of the song...
Sheri - I was up and down with the dog last night and low and behold, she seems a bit better this morning. She is still acting confused, but is walking better. I swear this dog has 9 lives like a cat. She is such a sweet little thing too. She ate breakfast and is sleeping again. Hopefully she will continue to improve.
Doris - Sorry I didn't recognize your sign-in name earlier....blame it on chemo brain!
It sounds like you love animals too. I'm glad you have you kitty cats to hug
It is sweet that they can retire with you. We have become the retirement home for old decrepit chickens! We have a rooster with a weird condition in his legs that makes him look like he is doing the old Nazi march with straight legs, a 7-year-old banty hen that I swear is senile, an old white hen named daisy that is almost blind that we need to hand feed....I love all the silly biddies.Hey Bren - Doris reminded me of my bracelet...I wore it to my doctor appointment last week and the nurse loved it. It always makes me smile.
Glad Mr Tim is home to drive the tractor. You need to be careful in that heat.
Debbie- I'm sorry you are once again in waiting mode....that stinks! I hope you enjoy camping....remember; it is all about the food
If you have enough good junk food no one minds if it rains or if they have mosquito bites....I am doing much better this morning. I am still going to tsake it kind of easy today, maybe play with my stained glass a bit this afternoon. The kids are still gone camping with my mom and dad, so John and I can relax, at least until my messy house makes me nutty enough I need to get up and clean a bit.
OK, time for some breakfast.
Hugs all around

Deb, so glad the dog is better. It's hard when they get older like that. My parent's dog was like that to, she had been hit by a car twice and was almost a doggy snack to a neighboring doberman once and still lived to be about 12 years old. Amazing.
Nicki, nice to see your dog. He's very pretty. We have a black lab with some chow. She has the best temperament.
Doris, I'm sorry we couldn't get together when you buzzed through town. I would love to meet sometime when you can stick around a little longer. School is starting in a few weeks, so we are getting ready. I'm teaching some new classes this year, so I have lots of studying I need to do. It's pretty exciting, though, I enjoy the challenge.
Our new building is taking shape. The contractors are saying it could be done by September, so we may be moving sooner than we thought. I made a note on our supply list that I would like to wait until we move before bringing in too many supplies. That will be less to move. I still have a few boxes of kleenex left from last year anyway.
I miss camping. Our family used to do it a lot when our older kids were little. We have some wonderful memories. Vacations have been a bit different these days, but still fun.

Well the day is slowly coming to an end. Still raining here in the Chicago area, but its a soft constant kind of rain. I was just watching television for a while and I saw that a hurricane in on its way to the east coast. Worried about all of our friends who live in NC, SC, and Virginia. I know many who come here do and I pray you stay safe, and dont lose your power or have any flooding.
Im keeping the campfire burning. The temperature is hot and humid so I have non alcohol, sparkling mojito's for everyone. With fresh mint and limes!
Jankay: What a pleasant surprise to see you here. I love your new avatar. Maybe I will see ya here tomorrow morning, bringing some sunshine to warm the hearts of those who need it. Ill even make breakfast.
DebC: Haha you found it on youtube. I smiled through the whole thing. I think I have listened to that CD about a zillion times.
Sheri: Geesh! We are talking about school getting ready to start and before we know it, it will be here. I really have such respect for teachers - especially those who specializing in History. Not my favorite subject, but somehow I think you would be one of those teachers that just gets a child motivated. So what are some of the new classes you might be teaching? Another thing I was thinking about was those plays you used to be in. Are you planning on trying out for one anytime soon?
Liz: Im glad Deb asked the question cause I was thinking the same thing. Thanks for the update on Donna.
I took a stroll back in memory lane today on this thread. So much love and support. So many friendships. So much support. Really - its brings tears to my eyes.
Welcome to all the new people, come sit down and have a mojito with me tonight. Im pulling up my lawn chair and sitting by the fire for a bit before I go to sleep. Have a wonderful night. Will see ya in the morning.
Nicki
