Nicholas, Blake and Lexi Lou Who
















It was certainly a challenge getting these three to all look at me at the same time!!! Wow! I'm glad I did as well as I did!

It was a gorgeous day and since the weather has been so rainy and cold, today was a pleasant change. We took advantage and went for a walk and then came home to do photos.

Brent, Jeff Kamp and Tom headed home this morning after Brent and Jeff made the attempt to ride bikes to Noblesville on Friday. The weather was so stormy and windy, the weather won and Tom (who had followed) drove them on to Noblesville after they had biked 37 (?) miles. Yesterday, they biked for 20 miles around parts of Indy. They couldn't have chosen a worse weather day to ride Friday unless it had been in a winter storm.

The effects of my last surgery are nearly gone. I always feel some minor discomfort for a couple of weeks after Dr. Fretz has invaded my space but that "feeling" will be gone soon. Minor problem to contend with.

I will go see Barbara and Tom Rowlen on Tuesday morning. Barbara got home yesterday from seeing grandkids in Montana. She was suppose to come home last Wednesday but ended up in the hospital in MO with the swine flu!!! Good grief!

Tom is back in Elkhart blowing billions and billions of leaves. At the end of the day Thursday, the yard was relatively clear of leaves. Then the wind/rain storm hit on Friday. It's not a pretty picture!!! Wish he had a lawn mower with 4 wheels and a big engine! Thank goodness, Layla was there to help him rake on Thursday or he would have really been in trouble. Marley was home with a bad cold.

That's the update for this month. See you in the photo department at CVS.

Tiny Tiny Tumors are History!

They are gone...again! I was at River Pointe Surgery Center by 7:00 and home by 10:00 yesterday morning. Wow! I went from an overnight stay in June to a 3 hour stay for this surgery! I can deal with this! Now, I just have to use "common sense" and hang low for a couple of days and then Dr. Fretz will check again in 3 months to see if we do this again. Hope not but this is the nature of this cancer. Just keep those babies IN the bladder where they belong and I'm in business.

Tomorrow...tomorrow...

Makes me want to break into song! Well, tomorrow is surgery day...again! The 1st surgery was June 24th for 3 tumors and tomorrow is surgery for 3 "tiny" tumors that were found 2 1/2 months after the first surgery. Wish there hadn't been new ones so soon but that's life! The hard part is being patient and not lifting anything for 2 to 3 weeks but that certainly is better than having to go through chemo etc. So...no big deal! At least, this gives me something to blog about. I could blog about.....better not!
