I know that it is impossible for anyone to truly understand what it takes for me to accomplish a little bit of healing each day. Everyone grieves in a different way. But, I believe that I am dedicated to surviving the experiences I have been dealt. All of my prior life experiences have molded me into someone who always wants to do MORE. I struggle with my hurt, but I also spend a lot of time think...

SNOW-We are buried under 20 inches (plus) of snow here in PA. This may put a little slowing on the work that needs to be done at Grandmom's. Well, the dumpster is full...of snow! It may be another day yet before we can get the cars out. A snowmobile did make it around the driveway last night. I will give the Jeep a try later today. Jeff cleared it off last night, but it is covered again. The sun b...

We're hunkered down here at the homestead until we're fever free & safe to socialize again. In our time at home we've been working on a few things. My overachieving friend, Pam, has set up 2 fundraisers for us!
The first will be February 25th from 4 p.m.-10 p.m. at the Texas Roadhous...

For the first time, I cried all the way to clinic with Calvin yesterday. I can't describe the fearful thoughts that jump around my head as I face these blood test days with Cal's brother & sister's oncologists. (This can't compare to the fearful thoughts that the other drivers who see a crying lady behind the wheel on 422!) But then, for some reason, as I pulled into the parking lot, the tears sto...
