Becky's headed downtown this morning. She was suppose to start a new chemo today but now they've decided to wait on that til they talk to the radiologist about some procedures, and she'll have a cat scan of her abdomen to see how her infection is doing and what its left. They thought she had a new tumor there but it turned into a horrible infection which  responded well to anti biotics. Their also seeing a naturalist this afternoon. Going at it from all directions. The tumors in her lung have either stayed the same, one has gotten bigger.She also has a new tumor on her mastectomy sight.  I think she was disappointed not to start chemo today, it must be scary thinking something else could be growing new!

Yesterday we had a fun after noon at the lake watching the children play in the water, I don't think they ever would have been ready to come home! It was nice to have some sun, and just enjoy the lovely day. Like I told Becky "life is good" (besides the cancer). Her sister in law came in last night from Utah to help for ten days. How sweet of her. So, I'm going to make a quick drive over the mts. tomarrow to see my friend who's battling cancer . Should be a beautiful drive.

    Take some of that wonderful children-in-the-water feeling with you, and sprinkle some on Becky too.
    Thinking of all of you as you look at the good bits of life! One thing at a time.

 I've always had a bird feeder, for years now. They bring alot of joy to me, nature so up close and personal. Now that we don't have any pets, we've loved having our bird feeders up again. We have this one tree out back and we have a little of everything for them. A little bird bath, three feeders and a suet feeder. There's usually ten to twenty birds in the tree at all times. Lots of beautiful finches, lots of yard birds, lots of black birds (who are quite noisy) red wing black birds and yellow headed black birds. We finally identified one that we couldn't figure out and its a Evening Grosbeak. Some come and we never see them again, just passing through. But, it's our little obsession right now, gives me something to do every morning. But, dang those birds are eating us out of house and home!

 chop, chop, chop were the sounds I woke up too yesterday. I've been hearing those sounds alot these last few weeks as my manly man has made hot sauce and salsa galore. But..............this morning it was different. I woke up to a beautiful bowl of tabbouleh...my favorite salad. The combination of the bulgar, parsley, cucumber and tomatoes just tickles my palet. My favorite part this time of the year are the pomegranate seeds, they add such color and flavor.(I really shouldn't be eating it but I chewed extra well ummm) Oooops a jar of grape juice just broke, manly man is canning....be right back. O.K. that's cleaned up and I'm heading out for a long overdue walk. It's a lovely day, blue skies and sun.

all is well

My daughter Becky should be home from the hospital soon, her surgery went well. Next the mourning for what was and will never be again, she had a lot of good cries last night. They weighed the breast and it was seven and a half pounds! I knew it was close to ten. Like she said jokingly she was looking forward to getting "alot off her chest". When I talked to her on the phone this morning I asked her how in the world did she ever get anything done with a two year old and 5mon. old! I did manage to get us all clean and fed by eleven. Is that good? And to think I raised six! Todays is Becky's Abbie's birthday, we hope to go to the movies this afternoon. I guess on the way home from the hospital they are picking up a new kitty for the children. They had promised them one when they moved in to their house, so how wonderful of them to realize what a good time it would be to bring one home. My children are so wise in so many things.Well........baby calls! Happy Day to you a
