I don’t have her permission to tell her story. So I won’t use her name and I won’t tell all of her story. To be sure I don’t know the whole story – just the basics, so far. Why? Because Sombrero Woman is in remission! She was diagnosed in September of ’05 as the result…
I’m in need of more Honorees
Please share with me. Share with me a sad story. An inspirational story. Share with me a victory. Or some pain from your heart. We need to share, we need to group together, we need to *FIGHT CANCER!* One way you can do it is to support me here in the blogathon. Even if it’s…
Halfway mark in Blogathon 2009
Wow, we are almost halfway through Blogathon 2009! I’ve already been through the ‘brief-post’ phase, but I haven’t hit the ‘nonsensical-post’ phase. Yet. I think I’ll cruise back to my Junior year in high school, to Mr. Lowry’s English class. We kept journals in this class and very often Mr. Lowry would assign a ‘stream…
Blogging from the porch
Well, it’s sort of a porch. It’s on the ground, though it will be above it, someday. It’s covered, even though it’s temporary covering. You can’t beat the view, though. Trees, grass and flowers along with the sound of birds singing, kids playing. There’s a refreshing little breeze every now and then. The sun is…
Danielle the cancer kicker
I don’t know Danielle, but I know her friend Teresa. Teresa recently took Danielle to the doctor to be checked and her cancer is back. Danielle kicked cancer’s butt before, and we’re all pulling for her to kick some serious cancer butt again! What started out as breast cancer has traveled. Danielle will have surgery…
My Grammie
I miss my Grammie. We lost her 6 years ago to lung cancer that had metastasized to her brain. She was diagnosed around Thanksgiving, she went through radiation in December, we brought her out here to take care of her at the beginning of January, and she left us just a few weeks later. I…

My Girlz
I am so proud of my girls. As you can see from a few posts back, they are helping me again this year. And not because I make them, because they want to be a part of something good. They are like this all of the time. Whether it’s as sisters, daughters, friends or part…
Duck!
Here are a couple of our ducks: p=. !http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3237/3756126822_953f644b20_m.jpg! And here is the garden: p=. !http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2500/3756136708_af0e60d809_m.jpg! We’ve been enjoying tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, squash, radish, cilantro, parsley, and bell peppers, so far this year. And still to come are basil, carrots, beets, pumpkins, onions, corn, watermelon, cantelope, peas, beans and popcorn. There isn’t anything quite like…
Guineas and Chickens
!http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3496/3756053672_aa80db5aff_m.jpg! Finally! I figured it out. The mobile version of Flickr and the iPhone didn’t make it easy but I did it. Aren’t they cute? They remind me of the Last DoDo from Looney Tunes! But they are supposed to be great for eating ticks. Now I’ll try and catch a shot if some ducks…
