Traveling with Dennis
Tuesday, 30 May 2006 6:51 P GMT-06
Since I'm still not a hundred percent Dennis took me to work with him today and we managed to stop a few times along the way to snap some photos of roadside flowers. Unfortunately I had the settings on my camera wrong so some of them didn't tur

Photos & update on homelife
Tuesday, 30 May 2006 6:46 P GMT-06
I love to share photos with you. My entries are always so much more fun when I have photos to share. :) I think I'm on the way back up form the chemo. Yesterday I probably could have been admitted to the hospital for fluids bu
Hummingbird
Monday, 29 May 2006 5:26 P GMT-06
Last evening, I was sitting on the porch watching Dennis and Khris spread dirt and such around the pond. Two little frogs found their way into the pond and it was fun watching them swim all around. We have a lot of frogs/toads out here.&n
Chemo 9
Sunday, 28 May 2006 4:34 P GMT-06
I have been sleeping a lot again and am hating this so much I am temtped to not even get the last treatment. The oncologist advised me tons of times to stay out of the sun because the 5-FU will make me blister. And we have had lots of sun
Bromeliad having babies
Friday, 26 May 2006 7:47 A GMT-06
As you can see the bloom is still on the bromeliad and it has four little babies peeking out of the lower leaves.
It appears the plants are doing well inside and out. Here's one of the African Violets. I wish my deep red with white ed
Chemo again - yuck

Going for chemo today. Not looking forward to it but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Think I'll just think and dream of all the pretty blooming flowers.
Quilt from Mom and Grandma
Wednesday, 24 May 2006 8:28 P GMT-06
My mom and grandma hand sewed me this quilt to keep warm under. I LOVE it. Love the colors, design, everything and when I look at it I think of all the hours they sat sewing on it.
We finally got our longhorns out of storage. It

I am so caring
Thursday, 18 May 2006 9:11 P GMT-06
I distracted myself for a while today by mowing. When I came to the house for a break my husband was sitting on the porch. I asked if he was ok and he said he fell. He was trying to surprise me by hanging my Mother's Day baskets on
Children dealing with parent's cancer
Thursday, 18 May 2006 1:46 P GMT-06
Some of you know that my youngest son has been having some problems dealing with things. I have been keeping my eye on him and trying to reach him, but as one of his teachers pointed out in this aspect he is completely normal. At 14 yrs o
Twins separated at Mayo
Monday, 15 May 2006 2:31 P GMT-06
When I called my grandma for Mother's Day she told me that when I was at Mayo getting my test done Friday there was an exciting thing happening. She saw on the news that conjoined twins were getting separated on the same day at Mayo. She
Lazy Peaceful Mother's Day
Monday, 15 May 2006 12:28 A GMT-06
I hope everyone enjoyed their Mother's Day, however it was spent. I hope all daughters (and sons) remembered their mothers and all the mothers found a way to have a moment for themselves.
I spent much of the day relaxing but got a little accom
All Clear

Ready for hummingbirds. The colonoscopy wasn't a breeze but went ok. They said everything looked ok but they took four biopsies from my scar from the resection and I'll have those results next week. They were running very behind (no
Waiting at the Mayo
Friday, 12 May 2006 11:49 A GMT-06
Sitting in the waiting room, obviously waiting for things to get going. My major nerve attack won't hit until they take me back and I'm sure at some point someone will look at me and say, "Get her something for her anxiety." See
9 months of winter and 3 months of road construction
Thursday, 11 May 2006 10:57 P GMT-06
The phrase up here in Wisconsin is that we have 9 months of winter and 3 months of road construction. As soon as the snow plows get put away the road construction begins and at times it seems very difficult to get anywhere. You may need to only get
Nerves
Wednesday, 10 May 2006 11:37 P GMT-06
This sounds totally nuts but I am extremely nervous about my visits Friday. Just a total bundle of nerves. Can't sleep or think of anything else. I don't want to go. I really want to just burrow in my bed and sleep forever.&nb
oncologists
Tuesday, 9 May 2006 11:54 P GMT-06
When we still didn't get a return call from the oncologist's office we decided to call Mayo. Dr Mc Williams called me back within an hour and I'm set up with a colonoscopy and chemo on Friday there. Within an hour of that phone call
Exhausted
Monday, 8 May 2006 10:13 P GMT-06
We made it home yesterday evening and after carrying everything in and watering plants I was too tired to post but we are home. Fibi and Brodi were SO happy to see us. :) And they are enjoying their new treats. Brodi has been
Washington Island
Saturday, 6 May 2006 7:43 P GMT-06
We go home in the morning so we decided to spend today going all the way to the top of the peninsula and see Washington Island. We stopped at a scenic overlook on the way.
Found a few more flowers.
We had to take a car ferry over "
Door County Wisconsin
Friday, 5 May 2006 9:30 P GMT-06
Still up here in Door County. Went to bed feeling like crap and woke up the same. I assume it's because my body is still trying to recoup from the chemo but I am determined to have a fun full weekend so off we went. We drove North o
Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin
Thursday, 4 May 2006 9:27 P GMT-06
We are on our little getaway. We had to get up real early in order to get the oil changed in the Rav4 at 7 a.m. Can I remind you that I'm NOT a morning person and we had to get up at 5:30. Luckily there was an IHop by the dealership
Flowers from the garden
Thursday, 4 May 2006 9:11 P GMT-06
Brodi being Brodi. :) Such joy these little fuzzballs give.
I have been promising photos of the work we've been doing in our yard and while I need to get some more I'll show you what I've taken so far.
The red tulips are in bloom and
Boys will be boys

One of my sons is notorious for getting stitches, he’s had stitches eight times. Haden got his first stitches at 19 months old. We were at a bank and he hit his head on their coffee table. So he spent Thanksgiving with three stitches above his
