I know that when that song came out 64 seemed so old. Have passed that now and can't believe I am officially a senior citizen.
Have a great birthday Leah.

Oh Wilsie keeping everything crossed that both your procedures go well for you and you get the desired results.
Happy Birthday Leah!!! Love that song! Sure hope you have a wonderful day!
Aly, that flower is stunning! Haha, I had forgotten that pic of both of us was taken.....lol......I look like I was laughing as usual while you are in the middle of saying something......or catching flies......lol. I had such a wonderful time over there with you.
I had some exciting and unexpected news from my DH, he has put in motion all that he needs to to get his passport and has said he is planning a four week trip to the south of France later on in the year........I am so excited I can hardly believe it!!!!
Have a great day all!!
Love n hugs. Chrissy

Wow Chrissy, the south of France!! What a dear your DH must be to surprise you like this! I'm so excited for you too and am already imagining the pictures you'll take. I love the picture Alyson posted---Alyson looks so serious and you look like you're about to dissolve into a giggling fit!
Happy Birthday Leah! I loved that song too, but it used to be a lot funnier than it is now!
Wilsi, I know you've thought long and hard about the procedures you're having and I hope they'll help you. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers and I hope all goes well.

Hello everyone!
Been awhile since I've been on here. Lots going on in my life. Went to our youngest daughter's college graduation. Also helped her and her hubby move out of their apartment. She gave us the good news that they are expecting their first baby! That will be grandchild #13 for us.
Then we headed back east for the holidays to visit family. Got to see our son that recently returned from deployment in November. We had a huge gang at my MIL's little home! Our son, his wife and 3 kids, plus our daughter, her hubby and their 3! My nephew came with his wife and their new baby too. We had a great time.Started this year off with a mammo and ultrasound yesturday. Both came out ok. Was told I need to repeat in 6 months just to check some calcifications. Saw my BS today and he removed my port. I'm pretty sore from that, I think because he had to basically dig it out because of scar tissue. He shot me up with lots of numbing stuff tho! I feel so free having that thing gone! Next month I see my MO and get a CT scan. Also, acupuncture has helped tremendously with my neuropathy. My hands are about 90% normal. Feet still have a way to go, but I can feel all my toes now! Haha!
Leah, Happy Birthday!!!! I always liked that song! In 2 years I will be there too.
Wilsi, I sure hope you will be feeling better after your procedures. I will keep you in my prayers.
Chrissy, I hope you don't need anymore anti B 's. They always mess with my tummy. Love the photo of you and Aly!
Lisa, beautiful flowers!!!
Mac, sure hope all your tooth problems are over!
I'm sure there's more that I've missed, but I dare not try to go back! Wishing you all a great new year!
Hugs, lilyrose

Leah.. Happy Birthday!!

Happy Birthday, Leah!!
Chrissy, exciting news about hubby getting ready to break out of his comfort zone.
I love that pic of chrissy and aly. Aly is probably telling someone how to take the picture.
I, too, hope I am all done with tooth problems. It is still sore but sooo much better.
lily, your year sounds like it is off to a great start. New grandbaby news and time spent with family is just what you needed! And you got those pesky tests out of the way. I am glad the acupuncture is working for you. I love it (even tho it is so weird having needles stuck in you)
wilsie, good for you making the hard decisions and moving forward. Let us know how we can help!
lucy, welcome, you fit right in. It seems like you already have friends here.
I am having to make lots of decisions about interior decor right now. It's funny how I start getting worried about making a "wrong" decision, when in the grand scheme of things this is small potatoes. I have to stop and remind myself that this is fun!

Leah Happy Birthday! I too love that tune!
Macatac I had a proceedure once where they were working on a lower center tooth and the pain was going up my nostril!!!! Crazy, they gave me an injection in the very back of my mouth. You certainly are very brave to continue on with the proceedure. I am a poor patient, from the time before flouride. I have a mouth of crowns and bridges. The dentist tells me I need to have my teeth removed because all the gatorade I drank destroyed them. I know I can get implants but am afraid to begin the process, plus it is so expensive. A friend has recently gone through a one year process to have both top and bottom false teeth. I am being stubborn and vane in not proceeding, also honestly, very afraid. If my teeth looked bad it would be motivating, but they look normal.
Chrissie, France, how wonderful!
Wilsie, I hope your proceedure allows you to go back to eating. I am sure you would enjoy that. Sending you gentle hugs Ginger

Slowly getting better from the flu, but still a long way from being fully recovered. Today I got my drivers' license renewed, which was the sum total of my activity. It expires the 17th and I felt like getting it over with.
It's been so quiet here! Where is everyone? Except Chrissy--We know she's out shopping for clothes to wear in France!

Aly, I looked the rhodies up and discovered they can't handle frost. Darn. They are so pretty. We have lots here but they only bloom in the spring.

Hi girls!!
I have been flat out with grandsons! Last week it was my youngest (16) and this week it is the next one up the ladder (17) and his friend. He has his driver learners permit so we have been out every day driving.....lol. I must admit that he's doing pretty good at it! Besides eating me out of house and home they are out trying to hunt rabbits with their bow and arrows. I must say, in that pursuit they are not having much luck...............go bunnies!!! I think I will be very tired by the time they go home on Sunday......lol.....but I really do love having them here.
Lol Kathy, not organizing for France just yet but once the boys go home I certainly will be starting to get organized for my trip to Cairns in March! Glad you are finally starting to recover from your flue.....it's a hard virus to get rid of for sure.
Lisa, love, love, love your bird pics!!
Oh, the boys are back from their night hunting over at the old mine and it seems they have been successful but this time it was a poor roo (kangaroo) so now comes the icky part of having to divide the meat and pack it ready for freezing. Must go as I really want to keep an eye on what's happening in my kitchen.
Love n hugs to all!! Chrissy

Chrissy, is it true, i have always been curious. somebody told me once that kangaroo means "i don't know". like, someone kept asking a bushman what that animal was, and they kept saying kangaroo. and then somebody else found out later that they were saying "I don't know!!". or was somebody just pulling both my legs?

Chrissy...Glad you are enjoying your time with the grandsons.. HaHa.. I can imagine that you would feel your being eaten out of house and home 😃 Teenage boys sure can eat. !! Hmm..not sure if I would want my freezer full of kangaroo either ..HaHa .I know lots of people love it though ..My hubby's grandfather used to cook up kangeroo tail soup , and thought it was the bees knees !!
Tomboy ..You sent me running to google and Wikipedia and yep ..You are right ..HaHa ..I'm a true blue Aussie and never heard that story before ..Apparently up until the 1970 ' s the story went that Captain Cook and Banks were asked the natives what they were and when they answered Kangeroo ( meaning I dont know ) they thought it was the name of the animal ..That' s a great story ..I love it ..BUT ..then in the 1970's a linguist came along and spoilt things by saying it wasn't true . BOO ..HaHa .while I was reading your post I thought someone had pulled BOTH your legs 😀

I was just on my way home when I saw the white pelicans in the lake near our house. They stop on their migration every year.

what a great pic, lisa! caught in action.
I saw a small flock of eastern bluebirds at my suet feeder this morning. They were so cute! Of course, I didn't get a picture. I still don't know where my phone is......
My DD got me for Christmas, a sticknfind. It is these little coin like sticker things that I should be able to program my cell phone to find them. But what happens when I can't find my phone? I haven't even figured out how to set the program up. sheesh!

Lisa the pelican shot is wonderful.
No rainhere so the flowers are struggling and the garden doesn't look so good but do have some lovely gladioli coming out.
Need to get out and do some weeding but my RA is really playing up and it is difficult to even walk and the pain is terrible. However the sun is out and it is lovely.
big hugs..

Hi all, checking in with my favorite group. I am scheduled for colostomy surgery Thursday, please say a little prayer for me. I know it's no easy surgery, but hopefully will be able to eat solid food again. The surgeon is going to drain my ascites, also. I have been pretty miserable the past few weeks. I am anxious to get this behind me so I can get back on chemo. Seems like all we do is put one fire out after another!
I look forward to getting back after a few days to see Lisa's great pictures and hearing the rest of everyone's chatty news.

Wilsie, praying that all should go well for you.

Wilsie keeping my fingers crossed and sending prayers that all goes well with your surgery and recovery. You are quite right, one fire is contained and another begins but the main thing is, we are still around to keep on trying to put them out.
How are you doing Leah? I sure hope that you are on less rocky ground for a change.
Lisa you bird pics are fabulous! That Pelican shot caught as it hit the water is stunning!
Aly, you take it easy and rest so your pain can calm down somewhat.........gardening is not going to allow that to happen. By the way, love seeing all your flowers that were only small, blooming and showing off all their glory.
Tomboy (I know you changed your name but for the life of me I can't remember what from!). Yes, as Lucy says, that story is really not true....lol......and I do know that not all Aussies know it. It really does make you wonder as it sounds sounds so fantastical!.........lol.
Lucy I have had a wonderful time with the boys but am very glad to be finally home and sitting quietly........I am really bushed!!! Good thing the tennis is on as I am really happy to sit and watch that.
Lol Nancy, there is definitely a problem when you have a program that can find things but the official finder is lost.........sure hope you can find your phone so you can set it all up.
After eleven years I have decided to once again look at the possibility of recon. I have an appointment with one of the leading recon docs here in Adelaide on the 31st March to discuss. I am really feeling both excited and scared at the same time, excited because it could be a go and scared that it won't.........bit silly really but I'm really hoping that I can. I will go in with an open mind and that way I won't be too disappointed.
Looks like a huge year coming up with loads of change, not just with me but with some members of my family as well..........my eldest daughter starts a new job in about three weeks and in the mean time is attending a fast track course to finish her qualifications as a Hypnotherapist and councilor and second daughter is once again starting her prep to compete to hold her bodybuilding title later in the year.
Take it easy all!
Love n hugs. Chrissy

Welcome to those of you who are new! I'm just getting able to read and post a bit after the flu so I'm behind.
Wilsie, prayers are with you for your surgery and aftermath tomorrow. Please keep us posted as you are able and know we're thinking of you.
I sincerely hope none of you get this flu---a really evil beast of a flu to be sure. I became ill on New Year's Day and am just now beginning to feel like myself again. In NC alone, there've been almost 100 deaths. DD (6 months pregnant) has it now and is doing well taking Tamiflu. The main problem with the recovery is the fatigue. You think you can do this or that and wind up exhausted, so taking it slowly is required! Fortunately cleaning the house ranks low on my list of priorities!

Chrissy here is another bumble be for you. It's a bit hard to see.
Think there are two. Each morning they are covered with bumble bees.
Big hugs to all.
