    They are fixing the problems. I think - wanted to share an idea that my daughter had for the grandsons - she does it at the beginning of their school year and at the end.  It is funny how they change.

    Beginning of school year.

    I was amazed how their "food" choices and professions change. They are growing up too fast. I don't see them but 4 or 5 times a year and these pictures seem to make me feel part of their lives.

    Oh I don't know if you noticed but the oldest GS wrote in Mandarin on his "Hobbies" list.

    I thought that looked like Chinese characters G'ma! How adorable...learning Mandarin at a young age is wonderful, especially if he ends up in the business world since much of who we deal with on Wall St. these days is the Asian market. Plus, he will be able to read a menu in Chinatown! HA! xo

    Checking in- still unemployed but haven't been looking too hard.  Doing lots of babysitting with DGD.  Getting ready to go away to Montana for 10 days with all the family.  MO appt the end of July.  

    Di- hope you can find some energy.  Going to try for NW ladies lunch when I get back. Losing my job took away some of my vim and vigor for planning things.

    Sweet pea and all-hey, Charles- hope you are all doing okay.

    Best wishes. J

    I am here. My friend entered hospice (she is a member of Stage IV forums) and I am so sad. She has just days most likely. For those of you who may know her, she is known as JillThut around this community. We did the same exact job for different agencies and met at trainings and conferences over the years. When I came on here, noticed this woman was from CT and in her profile, it said what she did for a living so I PM'd her and realized we knew one another in passing. Then we met at Yale where we were both being treated. I became friends with her and now she is dying.  I hate this disease! I am most definitely in the basement right now with the door locked.

    Hope you have fun SweetPea...enjoy that trip! You will get another job soon.

    Di, hope you feel better soon! Hey Ms. FK..hope this finds you well. I asked Veggy to watch over my friend Jill. I know she will!

    Ducky - xoxo

    April, I understand how hard it is - makes me angry - but she isn't suffering anymore and is probably dancing with all our other friends up there.  Praying for comfort for you and the families involved..

    Thanks G'ma. Hope today finds your pain to be in control. Thanks to all for your condolences on the loss of my friend. We met here on BCO and then in real life. She was a good woman and I will miss her.

    G'ma love the photo of the deer family!! Those little fawns are so cute! Then they grow up and eat all of the garden but I still love them...tee hee.
