Calling all TNs

Darn, I can't see the pics, have to wait until I get home and look at them on my laptop.
Ladies!!! I'm stressing, I leave tomorrow morning for about 2 weeks on vacation and haven't even thought about packing yet. I've got to get myself packed, the dogs packed for their camp and finish up my husbands packing (he always forget the essentials like his toothbrush). Then when I'm all done, I need to straigthen the house up so it's not a complete disaster when we get home. And I'm working a full day. DH just called to ask if I wanted to go to the gym tonight. He lives in such a fantasy world!
I'm afraid I'm going to miss all of you! I'm bringing my laptop and plan on posting pics on FB so I'll try to post some on here too.
BTW, Eagles fan here...

Heather have a wonderful vacation! I always get stressed before I leave, but always worth it when you arrive at your destination!

OK, here's what I have learned from Wonderlab (where LJ's gardens are). It appears we have several options:
1. Buy a bench made out of limestone and in keeping with what the museum already uses. Cost is $2500. I will be posting this same information on LJ's facebook page so, although costly, she had many friends and with a combined effort we may be able to "pull this off". Limestone is historical to the area.
2. Obtain a birdbath. Apparently, LJ also designed birdbaths. If, after reading this, one of her real-life friends (vs. online) knows where we could locate one, the museum would install it for us. Not sure of cost... one of LJ's friends would have to get that info for me.
3. Courtney, the gal I have been talking with at Wonderlab, is also aware of several varieties of plants that are supposed to symbolize BC. She mentioned an Echinacia called "Hope", a Hoya called "Remember Me" and a tulip who's name she couldn't remember but I could certainly find out.
So, there are three beginning options. I will Copy/Paste this to her FB page and PM the same infor to her daughter Sarah.
Let me know your thoughts. I told Courtney I'd get back to her sometime next week.

Sarah:
Thank you for sharing all that you did with us at such a tremendously painful time for you. Your mother loved you dearly, Sarah, always remember that. Even death cannot take that away.
In deepest sympathy,
Linda

This is Sarah's response on FB to my post above:
I like the bench idea best! I can get the limestone from hoagley, mom knew those guys there, they would probably be happy to "donate" some... but someone else would need to help assemble, or make the bench...
Again... I'll keep you guys posted.

Thanks Heidi. Even though the bench is expensive, I like it best.

I tried, too, Heidi, but could not access. Could it be because I wasn't facebook friends?

I couldn't access it either.. same msg as others have mentioned.

Sarah, Thank you for sharing your thoughts about your mother and letting us know what happened. She was a real Peach. She will not be forgotten.
Welcome to the newbies.
I must say that I enjoyed all the football chat. Sounds like we may have a very interesting season here on the TN thread! I am looking forward to it.
Go Packers!
Edited to add: my avatar is a photo of me and navyson at a Packers away game(notice yellow and green clothing) in Jacksonville, FL one month before he had to leave for boot camp....never thought he would be eventually stationed in Jacksonville! Life takes funny turns...

A few pages back a few mentioned the Red Lobster Biscuits. I make them at home. Very yummy and pretty close to the original. Recipe was given to me by my DIL
Mix together:
2 cups Bisquick
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
3/4 cup milk
Drop by tablespoon onto cookie sheet that has been sprayed with pam. Bake 400 degrees for around 10 minutes..bottoms should be browned
Melt 1 stck of butter with 1/4 tsp garlic powder. Brush on hot biscuits. Makes 16 to 18 biscuits.

Oh no! A Giant's fan and a Packer's fan! I'll try and be tolerant.
We actually know alot of Packer fans. My hubby's company he works for has a sister company in Milwaukee. I still haven't quite forgiven my beloved Pats yet. All my shirts are still at the bottom of the drawer!Done with my tests.....now just waiting. Maybe I'll make the biscuits while I'm waiting. I have actually never been to a Red Lobster, so I've never tried them. They sound yummy.

Hope everyone is having a good day!

Bad news about MBJ - Just saw on another thread that she had passed last night. Here is her husband's blog. Again, I'm just passing on what I just read.

Hugs to all,

Dear God!! This was just too fast. I am in complete shock this happened so soon.
Dearest Mary- I will miss you so. You were such a wealth of information and help for us all. My heart is breaking, but I am glad you are free from the pain. I hope you are in heaven with Laurajane and Susan having a good ole time!
My sincere condolences to her husband and extended family.

I am in shock and very sad, too. I had hoped that she would start doing well as she had written on another thread that she was feeling better last week. I send my heartfelt sympathy to her husband and family.

NO, NO, NO!!!!!
I HATE CANCER!!!
I just do not know what else to say. How can we lose 3 wonderful ladies in 2 weeks?
I have just read about this all in the last 24 hrs.
I am dealing with my own mets issues right now and did not read the forums for a while.
I have had a bone scan, PET scan, liver bx and started chemo again in the past 3 weeks. I am not ready to give in or give up, but some days I am so tired that driving home from work means a 2 hour nap before dinner. Luckily DH likes to cook.
I know that I am rambling so I will stop for now.

Becca- I am glad to see you post. It has been a terrible six days on the thread. I pray we have some more positive things happen soon.
I must admit, the ONLY thing I miss about chemo is taking naps while the hubby cooked and cleaned!!
I hope you are holding up and that the chemo does it's job! Big hugs!!

This is too much. I can't wrap my head around this.

One thing I can say about this disease: it kills fast. Yes, these women were all stage 4, but so many who have passed of BC seem to be up and about and then gone 48 hours lately. So, even though many knew the end was near, in a sense, they didn't see it coming. I don't know if that's a blessing or a curse. FWIW
I came in here to give an update on our thoughts wrt LJ's bench (or whatever it turns out to be). Can't do it now... maybe in a day or so.
