    Lisa, I sometimes think that's the duck's version of flipping us off.  Around here that's what they do when people who have been throwing them food stop!

    Hi Beachy's!  It's my busy week of working.  I almost made it the whole week without taking a day off!  Last night I just couldn't!  Having those Rads shooting pains in lefty & down my arm.  

    Chabba & Lisa Everythings just BIRD-DUCKY with you 2!  Love the pics!

    I hope all is well with Everyone else!!! 

    I did get some Gran-Fun with my littlest Ray of Sunshine!  I haven't seen him in 6 weeks due to being sick.  So I SAW him (no holding as I don't want to take any chances) & got a pic or 2.  He's getting so big & the first I've seen him SMILE!  Made my heart smile!

    Mum ..I am still going to PT and then we shall see...I think I need a shot but things moved slowly...It has already been over four months..at least I found that my cheapest orthotics work the best so I can at least sort of walk with shoes on now..barefoot not so much...These ducks are by the side of the road..no long hikes when they are there..

    Beautiful night for a Blue Moon!  Hopefully we all get a peek at it!  I'm at work so will get to see it going in.  I hope ALL you Beachy's have a good Labor Day weekend.  I will be sleeping, LABORING, & hopefully will have enough energy to go to the Campground where my DH Dj's at to spend some time with some friends.  

    Lisa I hope your foot gets it act together sooner than later!  Something that you have to use to get around on that hurts to use is not good at all.  Constant pain is really hard to deal with in so many ways!

    Eph....Thanks you so much.  It was so good to see him....I just hope this mess of sickness is gone for a good long while.  So I can get back to being a Grandma & play with my little guys!  

    Barbe....LOL! Too funny!  He is an old soul!  I'm sure we will see more as he gets older!  When I think about ALL he has been through in just 6 1/2 short Months.....well I don't like to think of it as it makes me cry!  I hope (as the Dr's say) that he will never remember any of it!

    From my trip to meet "chatters" in 2009, Tampa FL...here's our "Harry"  He came every day to the fishing dock at our resort to look for scraps. Despite the signs to "not feed" ... who could resist this face? He really was our mascot for the week and we loved him. Thanks for posting these other pics that made me go find my Harry pic :)  And Lisa...somehow even though you weren't there on the first FL trip, you're part of Harry's legacy too!

    Marl, thanks for thinking of me...I had such a good time with the BCO chatters in Florida and it was so much fun to finally meet you...Harry is Harry, but every time I see one of his brothers, I think of that time..

    Update on Marybe -  BarbA was with Marybe earlier this evening and told her all the names of the people that were sending prayer, special thoughts, love and hugs to her.  She said Marybe smiled when she hear the names.  Barb plans on reading all the posts on Marybe's thread tomorrow.  Everyone is welcome to posts as all will be read to Marybe.  Go to http://community.breastcancer.org/forum/69/topic/779235?page=40#idx_1181 and post your thoughts and feelings for Marybe and Barb will read them tomorrow.  This link is to page 40 and so it may not be the last page, but just reading all the posts from others show what an encouragement and inspiration Marybe was to us all.

    The post below was from 3jaysmom earlier on another site. If anyone would like to see a lot more posts, they are on the site Between the Devil (The Red One) and the Deep Blue Sea which was started by Marybe herself.

    At about 1:10 today, our beloved Marybe passed from this world . she went peacefully, as she had planned. in her death, she did just as she chose, as she did in her life...

      Please pray for Daddy , Tim, and all of her friends as they learn how to go on without her, as we must do now...

      Barbara A was present, and will be posting later.. with love to all...3jays

    Hi Beachy's....I am so sorry you ALL have lost such a beautiful friend.  I must of had my head in the sand all these years.  I did not know Marybe.  In fact I only saw her avatar only a few times in all the years on here.  May you ALL find peace in your wonderful memories!

    Julz - thank you. I wish you could have know her, you would have loved her as much as a lot of us do and I know she would have loved you. She loved everyone and made us all feel so very special. She made the most amazing cookies, brownies and stromboli! To actually meet her was such a delight and we share some happy time I will cherish forever. I better get to bed before it becomes tomorrow. She was always telling me that I did not get enough sleep. I miss her so much and I am trying to remember every second we spent together.

    Lisa - Thank you for the beautiful peaceful sunset.

    Love and hugs, AJ

    Barbe and Chrissy - mine came August 30th!  She must have made batches on different days. 

    Julz and 3jays - I was always allergic to chocolate until I started on Femara!  Now I can eat it with out any reaction except YUMMMMMM.  When my monthly aredia makes me so nauseous the only thing I can down is Malted Milk Balls, so I "suffer" through on those for as long as I can. Innocent Smile

    My siblings and our spouses got together this weekend at my brother's home on Long Beach Island, NJ. Despite the weatherman's predictions, yesterday was a perfect beach day! Here's one of the shots I took. This one's for Marybe too :)
