Coat of Many Colors by Dolly Parton Back through the years I go wanderin' once again Back to the seasons of my youth I recall a box of rags that someone gave us And how my momma put the rags to use There were rags of many colors But every piece was small And I didn't have a coat And it was way...

"Coat of many Colors", that song tells it all. While my family wasn't poor, we lived like we were. My mother taught me to sew and make clothes when I was 5. I made and wore all kinds of garments made out of left over material. Kids made fun of my creations, but today they would be high...

Well this is round two of major cancer for me and more complex than round one. Different cancers, but both nothing to mess around with. The thing is cancer will kill all of us if something else doesn't first, by age 100. Cancer is a natural thing in the cycle of life. There is no cure for...

Nothing new. Just waiting for full body PET scan. If the results of the scan show any spread, then no surgery, probably chemo if I can tolerate it. Minor spread in vicinity of main tumors, will be radiated. That is a big if. If localized as suspected, then surgery date will be set. Not doubt...

Call came in from radiology to schedule my PET scan. 2 hours with the first hour the saltine flush. Those of you that have been thru it, know it is one of those test where you have to disassociate with time and just stay still. It is a test of wills. Last time I did it, was 9 years ago. So, in 2...

Let's keep this light. I am sure most of us have horrible things we have seen that we wished we hadn't, but I am starting this as a thread on the light side. :LOL: Today at the medical clinic, waiting for a friend to get test done, I saw a very large, very broad lady, wearing very low rise...

Sure glad to hear your cancer treatment is going so well. Probably nothing they can do for your hip at this time in life. I still have my bet that your gallbladder will have to come out some day. I only had occasional right lower ab pain from it, but I didn't want to chance any small stones...

With my morning workout and breakfast behind me, the only thing on my list is going in for blood test. I am enjoying my hot cup of country girl mocha as I ponder whether to add battling the spiders to my non existent list. It is going to be a bad winter, according to the legend of the spider...

I wish I could tell you it gets easier in time @Jake Smith, and while the immediate change and shock gets better, the memories will be there and sometimes the best relief is to have a good cry. Beautiful photos of the grave and dogs visiting. Nice memorial stone. I didn't know I shared the...

Yesterday was lawn day but thunderstorm put the kibosh on that. So, now I have no excuses and must get going before it gets hot. Weed eating necessary today, so it will be a test of wills to get it done. Slept fairly well and back to doing full morning exercises. No walking today as i will get...

Still waiting for those home sawn board photos.

My entire life has been hard work. What was the hardest physically? Growing up on a cattle ranch, most everything was a hard job. Loading and stacking 80 lb bales was hard but by teen years we had a front end loader with a custom hay fork that handled 18 bales at a time. It still required some...

Does he shower for Wal Mart or just Hobby Lobby? 😊

Plans to bring the lawn to justice, were thwarted by a big thunder storm. The air smells so good and all smoke is gone. Hopefully all the lightening didn't start new fires. Lots of sirens this morning by all first responders, police, fire, and paramedic. Still a lot of liberal activist arsonist...

I think of Marie and I consider myself lucky! Entire body scan set up soon and before surgery. Thanks to all for concern and well wishes. I am slightly down, but I am older and crankier than I was when I had colon cancer. :sneaky: Being proactive does pay off.
