Time is marching on.....

My condition hasn't changed that much but this week has had some pleasant moments including a visit from a dear old friend who was visiting her Dad

who lives next door. I can't begin to tell you what a pleasant time I had talking with her and hearing more about her life. I've known her since she was about 4 years old but haven't lived close to her since she got married and moved away. Gail came and cleaned the house today and it feels so good. We have an appointment with my new Oncologist tomorrow morning and I'm so hoping it goes better than last week's appointment.

We also had our first snow of the year and it lasted less than 24 hours from start to finish. It was so warm today that BigD had the back door open for a bit to air out the house.

Miya found herself a warm and cozy place to rest. She has been so loving lately. I wake up with her sound asleep in my lap. I love the feel of a cat sleeping on or touching me.

I was also happy to get a picture/text message from Rie of her two boy out in service. I'm so happy she is staying in touch with us. I miss her so much but am happy she seems to be adjusting quickly to her new home. Keith has already been down to see them and hopefully he has some pictures to share when he comes over the next time.

This last picture is of the elementary school I attended the second half of my 1st grade and the first half of the 2nd grade. I was a terrified little girl walking those long blocks to a strange "city" school. When I think about Page2 going to middle school next year it makes me sad and a little anxious. I need to post an update email to everyone. I've had so many people call me to let me know they miss them and are hesitant to "bother" me with questions.
