Happy day, all!
Marsha has asked that I post for her to let you all know that she is home. She will be pretty immobilsed for about 6 weeks while the leg heals. She is off Tamoxifen, and is on Femara. She will start rads as soon as the swelling goes down, as right now they can't really do the rads planning due to the swelling. She will be seeing all her docs starting on Monday for all the followup. She can't be scanned for evaluation of any spread beyond the bones for a few weeks due to the trauma of the surgery, but it is planned.
She feels that she has a very good team and that she is alot more knowledgeable now about disability, medicaid, etc. She has a good friend who will be helping her get all the paperwork done (it never ends).
So Christmas Day finds her in excellent spirits. She is borrowing a laptop and promises that she will be online shortly. But she did want you to know that she is thinking of all of us, and wanted desperately to let us all know how well she was doing.
That's it for now! hope everyone is having a wonderful day!

Leah, thank you so much for the update... Hi, Marsha, dear friend who infected me with the BNO virus... that's definitely a good one!
Thinking of you and wishing you a gentle Xmas with your loved ones... Tell us what are your interests while you are "grounded" so we can contribute to helping you beeing a patient patient...
Twink, a year ago we were driving through Dallas, turned into a ghost town on Xmas day... not a car in sight! Hope you are enjoying good weather and having a lovely day with your gang...
Un Joyeux Noel to all... In the 50's here in Denver, just great! The snow is in the mountains, but not in town... feels like spring... I have to go fix a "wet" cake (pound cake saturated with orange juice and covered with a chocolate ganache... our favorite when we were kids) for 2 old little ladies we invited for coffee tomorrow afternoon, the lovely mothers of our friends...
Love to all,
Catherine

I haven't checked here in a long time. I am so shocked about your news MARSHA, you are in my prayers. TWILAH, are you having chemo again?
NIce to see some of you had a meet in Dallas. I've been enjoying having all my kids home for xmas including our Marine son who finally left San Diego about 2 months ago. He is now living at Camp Pendleton. He hurt is ankle during a hike carrying a heavy backpack, its opposite the leg that had knee surgery so they put him in med hold and he was able to get 30 days leave to come home and work with the recruiter but rest the badly strained ankle then he goes back and joins up with the next platoon that starts training in January and starts the Camp Pendleton training all over again. Once he gets through that its on to a school. My oldest son is here from St. Louis, flies back tommorow and my DD gave us a new GD in November, this is GD number 2. .

Circle the wagons indeed, Catherine.
We are all with you in the battle. It is a helpless feeling. A feeling that I want to do something to help or at least support all of you and not knowing quite what to do. I am so glad that you, Leah and Melanie are able to keep the rest of us up to date on our girls that are in round two. I am with all of you in spirit.
Marsha, so glad to hear you are home. I hope you are feeling better and not having too much pain. [[[[[[[[[[Marsha}}}}}}}}}}.
Twilah, hope this finds you weathering the treatments well. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas with all your lovely family. {{{{{{{{{{{{{{Twilah}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}
That is my hope for everyone here, a wonderful Christmas and a very happy New Year.
{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{Pat}}}}}}}}}}}}}. So glad you posted. How is it going there in SA? You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Catherine, I will check on you tomorrow via Skype.
We had a lovely time with all the children and grandchildren.
Will go in Tues for the other cataract removal. I am excited to get my right eye done. My left eye is my weak eye(ambliopia as a child) and so I don't get the full benefit of the new vision. The right eye should make a bigger difference. One thing I didn't realize is that everything is much whiter. I didn't realize how yellow everything was looking until I compare my vision in the operated eye versus the non-operated eye.
I must go as we just got home and I am very tired. Hugs to all. So glad you are all here. We continue that cruise and none of us knows what lies ahead, but we have each other on our FCC. Love to all, Sammie Kay

Hi Marsha...... I hate this! I do know you are one tough broad and you will get through this. Let me know if there is something I can do for you.
Hugs, Liz

Going to a Christmas dinner at my SIL....dh is sick, so kids and I are going without him. Some kind of stomach bug is going around DD had it earlier in the week. Guess we will all get it eventually!
Talk later.

Hello to all my Feb Chemo Cruisers! Thank you all so much for the well wishes, I do know you guys are here for me. I admit that this really sucks the big one (Someone explain that turn of phrase to Catherine haha)
Hubby has me all set up here at home. Our family room has turned into an extra large hosp/rehab room. Bathroom is 6 steps away, I have my chair with ottoman and a twin bed set up in here. I can manuver myself around from chair to bed to bathroom pretty well. The hardest I found is to get into bed myself but we came up with using a belt of a robe to put under my foot and i lift the leg like a crane. LOL He made me a "tray" a board that sits across the arm of the chair so I can have my labtop or eat on it. I'm able to move it into position alone so.......... I'm managing to be somewhat self sufficient. I laid my head off the edge of the bed and he washed my hair. Boy that felt good!!!
I have a big incision at the top/side of my leg where they put the rod in and then 2 inches below that a small incision where they put a screw in to anchor and then another screw just at the top of the side of the knee.
Leah, I think my husband is in love with you. Melanie, thanks for the phone call, I have no idea what we talked about but I do remember that you called. haha
PAT and TWINK I am thinking of you both and hope you are doing well. Twink I am so jealous of Leah and Melanie over that trip to see you! I love you girlfriend.
Love you all and will try to make the next post one that is not all about me. I'm such a drama queen.

Stopped in to check on you all & see if anyone had heard from Marsha, and there she is!!
Marsha - it's so good to hear from you. We want your all about me posts, damn it! We NEED to know how you are progressing! I think of you so often and hope your doing well. Take care of you and please keep us posted. You know how we worry!
Terry - Hope your DH is feeling better. There seems to be two different virus making the rounds and none of them are fun. DH & I were terribly sick. Me for 3 weeks, him for 2. We are sooo happy to be upright for more than a few minutes now!
SammieKay - DH & I are leaving for Christmas Part III in a few days. If I dont see you before then, know I'm thinking of you on Tuesday. Wishing you 20-20 vision and the speediest of recoveries!
Pat - How are you doing? Hope all is well.
Catherine - I came across a message from you from last year in my inbox that I thought I had deleted (Rhubarb), but hadnt. It sure made me smile! I remember that it just made my day when I got it, so I might have to keep it a bit longer!
Leah - Any news on the job front? DId you break some companies hearts yet? Thinking of you!
Thank you so much to everyone who sent Christmas cards! I didnt realize we were doing that, and I felt a little like a bad friend. But I loved your thoughts and cherish the notes. Thanks so much!
Big hugs to all. If I dont get back in the next few days, Happy New Year!

Hi all....I have a few days off this week for vacation.
Marsha....so glad to see you. Sounds like you are a trooper. How frustrating. You are in my thoughts daily.
Whenever I walk the dog on our quiet country road, I listen to the birds. and think. My thoughts always turn to all of you and how you helped me get thru the tough times. So I think and pray for Twilah and Pat and Marsha. Life sure takes twists and turns.
Carynn...Bill went to work today, but he sure was sick on Sat eve and Sunday. Let's hope the rest of us don't share!
SammieKay...wishing you best of luck tomorrow. I know you will do well. My great aunt had that done after she was 90 and she is doing great at 94!
Well....going to try to get this house cleaned up a little bit. And I need laundry detergent, so need to take a little trip to the store.
(((((Marsha)))))
((((Twilah)))))
((((Pat)))))
Love,

Good morning,all!
Today is my two year cancerversary, and I can't help but reflect on what has happened in 07 and 08. And to think about those on the journey with me. I honestly could not have done it without you!
I was the only stage IV person in our group, and now there are more. I honestly am not happy about others having joined the club. It is a whole different level of followup, fear, new decisions, etc. which is really quite consuming if one allows it to be. I attend a metastatic support group at a local Healing Garden, and I definitely find it an alternate universe to this cruise. Everyone is in treatment, and some of the prognoses aren't that good. It breaks my heart. I have said more than once that I got the best deal having been told I was Stage IV at the beginning- I got over all the emotion all at once. Have the BC recur is a nightmare that I never had to experience, since it was "bad" from the beginning.
I am curiously hopeful about 2009. I am thinking that we will see a few of us living with treatments for large parts of the year, and I am hoping to learn from them what that is like. I think we have an opportunity, if they want to share, about how you go about making decisions when faced with new information. And that there are people out there who care and understand, no matter what.
I feel a fire in my belly about making sure everyone has access to good healthcare. I am hoping that the new Administration can make that a priority amongst everything else they have to do. (like restore all the money my retirement account lost! I can never retire!)
Well, I no longer worry so much about things. But I want to go to work, and just need someone to finalize all the paperwork. Carynn, the one I want is still equivocating about how much system work vs. purchasing work, so who will pay for what portion of me... how ridiculous. I will pay for myself in less than 3 months, so I am not sure what they are worrying about... hopefully it will sort out soon. If not, I am sure there will be something else. I just have this tiny little constraint like I want to sleep in my own bed every night...
SO, Happy new year to you all. I hope 2009 brings up some level of sanity, and peace. I wish for you all of what you are wishing for yourselves!
Much love.

Happy anniversity Dear Leah. I love you and am so happy things are going so well for you, you deserve it.
Twink, would love to hear from you. Pat hope you are hanging in there as well
Hi Melanie, love you!
I have a PET/CT scheduled for tomorrow (Wednesday)

MARSHA>good to see you posting! Many of you have been fortunate to meet in person and lot of you can get even closer on Skype but I thank you for letting me be a part of the group despite not being able to do either with y'all. What a journey we've all been through and I'm so grateful y'all were there when I needed someone who understood what we were going through when we started chemo. May you have a much better year in 2009. I just had a 6 month digital mammogram and got the all clear! So another 6 months to put it in a little box hidden way back in my mind. I couldn't watch the St Jude's special last night without shedding a lot of tears.
Happy New Year!

Marsha; LOL...you don't remember what we talked about???? Well, let me tell you. Fast Cars. Good Booze. Sexy Men. Looong Vacations. I am thinking positive thoughts for you today!
Twilah; I really wanted to call you yesterday, but I will wait to hear from you or Leah. You are on my mind daily.
Leah; A belated cancerversary. I wish we could have talked a bit longer yesterday. I need to catch up with what's going on with you! If I had a position for you...other than taking care of me...I would move you to Arkansas! I must share a Pooh quote that reminds me of you...some people care too much, I think it's called Love...Winnie the Pooh.
Sammie; I hope your cataract removal yesterday was uneventful and that you are resting up for a big party tonight!
Catherine; I always enjoy our little skype chats. I just wish I could get mine to work right! I am still contemplating a trip to Denver. I just need to wait for warmer weather. The cake sounds yummy and I bet the little old ladies loved it.
Jan; Nice to hear from you again!
Carynn; Christmas III???...one is enough! As long as you are enjoying it all...then it is good. I just took the tree down last night. It was only up for a week before Christmas. I almost hate to say that I am relieved that the holidays are close to being over. I truly enjoy having family and friends around, but most of it is a bit overwhelming.
Pat; I am so glad you dropped in. We all think of you and wonder how you are doing.
Back to work for me! I hope everyone has a very nice New Year's Eve. Mostly, I would like for all of us to have a happy and healthy New Year. My biggest hope is that Twilah, Pat, Tink and Marsha can win all their battles.
My Pooh quote to everyone...
If there ever comes a tomorrow when we're not together...there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart...I'll always be with you. Winnie the Pooh.

I want to wish all my FCC sisters a very Happy New year with many more to come! We have all been through quite a journey together which bonds us in a way we can't do with anyone else. I appreciate you all listening, advising, caring and sharing and although I do not post very often, I do keep up with all of you.
My prayer and hope for 2009 is for continued good health, good living and peace for all of you. My special prayer for Marsha and Twylah as well as myself is that we will come through this latest episode with flying colors and be able to put in way back in our minds for a very long time to come.
Which reminds me of why I chose "wayover20" as my screen name.....when I was first diagnosed back in 2004 it occured to me that I wanted to beat this and live way over 20 years beyond it. I still plan on doing it.
Happy 2009!
Pat

Just wanted to stop by and give a quick "Happy New Year!" to all of you.
My wish is that next year at this time Twilah, Pat, Marsha and Tink will all be in remission and doing well....and that no one else has joined them. I wonder daily why the beast behaves so differently for all of us.
I pray daily for all of you and I wonder about our cruisers who no longer post...and hope they are doing well.
Catherine....so sorry I missed our Skype date yesterday. My whole family has now passed the bug around except DD #2....so I am waiting for her to drop too! Maybe she will be the lucky one.
We are having a few people over this evening. DH did all the prep since I was down for the count yesterday and this morning.
I echo Pat when I say I appreciate all of you. Nobody can understand what we have been thru both physically and emotionally. You were all there for me when I needed a listening ear. Hope that I can be there for you when you need it.
Happy New Year!
Love,

You said it all...
Happy New year to all of you, with love from Denver, wishing you all gentlier times,

Hey, you February chemo 2007 cruisers! I know I have not been around in a long while - unfortunately life threw a few nasty knocks this year - I lost both my dad and step dad so have been busy trying to take care of family things, and of course mourning. But I have not forgotten any of you, and today is always a day of reflection so I logged on to see what was up.
At first I was delighted to see so many still posting here, but then I got to the bad news. I am SO sorry to hear that Marsha, Tink, Twilah and Pat are dealing with a recurrence.
And it makes me feel worse that I have not kept up. This is the nightmare stuff all the rest of us have in the back of our minds and hope we never have to deal with. My deepest prayers are with you all and with you too, Leah, as you continue the battle. And to everyone else, greetings and what is Catherine making for dinner tonight?
My only wish for the new year is that a cure will be found and that all of us will live to be 100 or more in health and happiness. Please, if any of you all come this way, know that you have a place to stay in my home as well as my heart.

Just dropping by to say a very Happy New Year to all my dear friends on 'the cruise'.
What a year it has been. I too wish for a great New Year with everyone stomping the @#$*&% out of cancer. My SIL, the wife of my brother who just passed, has been fighting a recurrence for 10 years. It is really weird but when she was diagnosed 20 years ago she didn't get chemo or radiation. Just a mastectomy. She was 13 years disease free before the recurrence. She had been through 5 yrs. tamoxifen and 5 yrs of Aromasin. She was taking care of my brother for the past 10 years and he required help getting out of a chair to a wheelchair. She had to bathe and shave him. She did everything for him. It is a sad time for her as today is their anniversary. This disease touches so many in so many ways. It is such a comfort to be able to come hear with kindred spirits. We are all warriors and must fight as long as we can. I believe we must all just go and live each day to the fullest. That is a quote from my oncologist at MD Anderson. "Just go and live". Amen.
Melanie I love your Pooh quotes. Where do you find them? The last one is so poignant.
I think of all of you daily. It was good to hear from Jan and Diane. It has been a long time.
Diane, so sorry to hear about your father and step-father. Glad you are still checking in here
Congratulations Leah on you anniversary. I am so glad all of you share your experiences, strength and hope here with others. A burden shared is a lighter burden.
Hugs to everyone. Warm wishes for a comforting 2009 for all.
The cataract surgery went well. I can see distance without glasses, but now need reading glasses. I was able to read without glasses before the surgery. Now have to have cheaters. Oh well. A trade off. I will just wear regular glasses. I don't mind wearing glasses. They are kind of like jewelry to me and they hide some crow's feet LOL.
Catherine stay warm. Sounds like Denver just got hit again. See you on Skype soon.
Well, it is 2009 for all of you in the East. Don't know if I will wait up for Central time zone New Year.
Well Allyson is way ahead of us. Happy New Year!!!!
Love to all, Sammie Kay

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I will be going back to work on 1/12/09! At least for 4 months... I accepted a contact position with the company who wasn't ready to do the full time new hire. But that is fine with me! It will be all IT, no purchasing, so I am happy!
Thanks for all the good wishes. It was good to hear from Vegas and Jan. Pat, I loved hearing how you chose your name. Thanks Mel for the wishes, and Marsha too!
SammieKay, my condolences on your loss. But I am so happy the vision is better. Losing my sight is a bigger nightmare for me than even cancer! I am such a visual person. As someone who has worn glasses since I was 10, I think they are a part of my face!
Carynn, hope 2009 is kind to you in the job department. If they lay off others, then you get to do even more... so I hope you are just "stable" in the staffing realm!
Catherine, hope 2009 is good for you job-wise and that the load is balanced slightly toward enabling you to play!
Much love to all.

Congratulations on your job, Leah! That is a great start to the New Year. And congrats on your successful cateract surgery, Sammie Kay.
I want to echo Melanie on the "holidays are overwhelming" sentiment. I never felt that BC (before cancer) but now I almost feel like it is just too much. I enjoy the family and listening to the music and the eating (too much the eating!), but can't get motivated myself to do too much. Or maybe it's because my boys moved away this year and I'm just depressed about that. Anyone else feel that way?

Vegas; So nice to hear from you again! Leah and I were also talking about how it seems that this time of year seems to have many of us reflecting about how we have all been so affected by not only the events of the last 2 years, but also the effect of our friendships that we have formed here. You are definitley one of those cherished friends. Thank you so much for the kind offer. Aren't you a grandma yet? LOL
Sammie; MIss Natalie loves Pooh, so my "bear" education comes from her. I am surprised at the heartfelt meaning of some of the phrases intended for small fry. And...you have my condolences. I have found that it doesn't matter the age or the circumstances, the loss of a loved one is always difficult. The heart has a hard time letting go. I think that's a good thing.
Pat; Thank you for the bio on your name. I believe it still holds true.
Marsha; You are on my mind.
Twilah; You know that I think of you daily.
Tomorrow is day with friends. We will be going to a Razorback basketball game, then dinner. Wooooo Pig Sooooie! They are really good this year...very nice for a change.
Thinking of everyone else also...

I have just lost a post for the second time. So this time as soon as I get the photo of Beatrix with her Granny up I will post it.
So this is us on Christmas Day.Alyson

Think thats worked. I seemed to be losing internet connection. It is a very humid day and I suspect there is a thunderstorm around.
Diann sorry to hear about your year, it makes life very tough.Great that you have posted. I think it is a time for reflection as we go through the second anniversaries. I have appointments coming up later this month and one cannot help but worry a little.
Leah, great news about your job, hope all goes well. Pat I love the reason for wayover20 - I agree.
Hugs to everyone this New Year.You skype ladies do let me know if you are on line as I would love to chat. Have been turning off the skype when I am not around as I was getting some 'funny' messages.
I will submit this before I lose it again

I just got skype so if you guys are going to go online, let me know and I will give it a shot (though you may have to talk me through it a bit).
Mel, I am not a grandma yet - my oldest son's engagement got canceled and he and my younger son took off for the wilds of Wyoming. So once again Glen and I are "home alone" with the dog and cats. Though I do have a great grandniece now that I am having fun spoiling.
Alyson, what a great photo! Beatrix is a beauty!! How old is she?

Vegas, so GREAT to see you. I have wondered about you and how you are doing. Sorry for your double loss. I would love a trip to Vegas!! LOL Please stick around, OK?
Alyson, finally a face to put to your name! AND she is beautiful! Congrats.
Melanie, I love your pooh quotes and I love you. Aren't you about ready for a Disney trip??
Leah, our phone conversations are precious to me. What would I (and Jim) do without you? Glad to hear you secured a job.
Sammie Kay, glad you cateract surgery went well. And for staying so in touch with all of us.
Twink, I think of you daily. I miss you terribly.
Pat, might want to pick your brain about disability. Sounds like a pain in the ass to get thru but I'm gonna need to get on it.
Terry, thanks for being here on a regular basis. We need you, you need us, how lucky we all are for such love and support all around.
Catherine, thanks for the card. I sure wish you were here to cook for me!!! haha
Hi to Caryn and Jan, I know you guys have found other support groups but we do miss you and love seeing you post with us.
Hillary and Phyllis I know you guys are busy but a note every once in a while would be great.
I love you all very much, Marsha

I suppose it's finally time for me to post an update. Seems I have a little surplus energy today. I've been up since very early (steroids). Made orange/almond scones with marmalade and coffee for breakfast. SIL and DH seemed to enjoy them. Now onto cooking a few tortieres (missed them on Christmas) because our kindly plumber guy brought over venison and elk. What better to do with a little game than make French Canadian meat pies. YUM. Also doing up a pot of baked beans for DH... his favorite. He has to make the brown bread though... I have to draw the line somewhere.
Well, enough of that... It's in the high 70's here today, always good for the spirits. I am on my last day of 4 of the new chemo which is Temodar (for brain). It consists of 2 pills in the morning, no infusion! Still on the Avastin and Zometa though. They've stopped the Abraxane for the time being. Had a Pet/CT scan yesterday but won't have the results until next week. Now that the C is in the menenges though it's kind of moot. So far, everything else seems to be stable. I underwent 15 rads to my head, finished <2 weeks ago. Started Rads; again to the lumbar/cervical spine area last week, another 15. I am awfully darned hopeful that the fatigue will pass with the completion of rads and chemo and I'll have a couple of weeks of normalish activity levels. I've developed ‘drop foot' in my right foot which has turned me into a stumbling old lady. DH bought me a nice walking stick (more like a hiking stick) - it even has a compass on the top (YAY! In now know where North is from my new house).
Now, you all know that I've been thinking about you daily, sometimes with a little guilt for not getting in here and giving you even a brief update. I think about how you're all doing, what a worrisome time this is for us, I think about those of us dealing with a little extra challenge and I know we are great supporters of one another. You women are my landline despite my frequent silence. Thank you all for the Christmas cards, gifts, and warm wishes. I extend those same warm wishes to you all. As Ahnold says..... I'll be back! (I promise)
Love
T
PS. renovations continue....ACK!

Twink....soo happy to see you back! I am hopeful that your treatment is working and you will feel much better soon! You do need to tell us all about the renovations though....I'm always interested in creative chores! 70 degrees?! It is 29 here...the boys are out hunting for deer with the muzzleloaders...they think they are the great white mountainmen! Sounds like you are a great cook along with Catherine! My DH loves that kind of food.
Marsha....soo happy to see you too! I am so sorry you are traveling the more difficult road too. But get your rest and mend up...so you can get back up on the stage!
Vegas...Nice to see you back. I kind of felt the same way about the holidays, even though I did the decoration thing (now I have to take it all down). The kids are out and about, even though there are 3 living here, they are almost never home at the same time. It is kind of sad without kids running around. I was depressed about that too. Nevertheless, Bill and I are enjoying some new found freedom. Will your boys be living in Wyoming permanantly?
Alyson....what a beautiful little princess! You look wonderful holding her. I just love babies! I am sure your holidays were wonderful. Will pray your upcoming tests are fine.
Hi, Melanie...enjoy the basketball game. I, too, love the Pooh quotes. Reminds me of reading the Pooh books to my kids. My sister is a big Pooh collector. He is soo lovable. Sounds like you are a wonderful grandma, too.
Leah...Happy Cancerversary...belated. So glad you are doing well and have found a job. I don't know if I could live with the uncertainty of looking for work so often. Have worked at the same bank for 31 years. (pathetic huh?)
SammieKay...glad to hear the surgery went well. I agree with Leah, I would hate to lose my sight. I have also been wearing "vision aids" since first grade. Although I went to contact lenses when I was 15. I don't often wear glasses anymore. When will you be sailing again?
Pat...we are ALL going to be here way over 20 years too! Do you think this board will still be here? Hope you are feeling well.
Catherine...sounds like you are busy with work and cuisine and the doggies. We still need to skype!
Well....the laundy is calling....love to all of you!

Just back from the game with a big bunch of friends. What a wonderful time. It is also quite warm here today...70's and muggy...nice for January!
Twilah; I was so happy to see your post. So...you made the meat pies? I could have been really tempted to make a quick trip to Dallas for scones...I really do love them. Has Lucie brought any yummy goodies lately? Please send my love to your family. I want to see you all agian soon. Too funny about the compass...though I can see where it could be helpful in your house..
. Isn't this southern weather crazy? Enjoy it while we can...it will most certainly change soon! I don't think Leah believed me when I told her it could be in the 70's one day and snowing the next day...lol...she got a big taste of Texas/Arkansas weather on that visit!Alyson; What a precious picture. Natalie called me last night. Remember she is 3 and a half. She said..."Nana...please come and pick me up, I miss you and Pop. We pick her up every week since she was 2 months old. Broke my heart because it was too late to drive the 75 miles to get her. I will go tomorrow. Nothing quite like grandkids.
Vegas; I am so sorry about the broken engagement. I am even more sorry about your recent losses. I know you were excited about the wedding plans. I hope your son is okay. Sometimes we feel the pain of our children more than our own pains.
Marsha; I do need to see Mickey again soon! I bet he misses me...hehehe. I hope you are taking good care of yourself. I will try to call you tomorrow.
HIllary; Please post soon. I miss you.
Catherine; Miss your longer posts also. You are very dear to me.
Terry; My main desire right now is to give my granddaughters a "piece" of me that will live with them forever. I want them to remember me and know how much I love them.
Okay...I must confess that I am a bit "tipsy" as we had a very enjoyable evening. So, I will end with this....
I am a Bear of Very Little Brain, and long words Bother me...Winnie the Pooh
