So.......one year ago today I found out that I have/had breast cancer. I wasnt going to blog about it today because I realized that I was rather emotional about it and was trying to bury all of the emotions I guess, so I hadnt said a thing to anyone. UNTIL tonight during David's pool league. He shoots pool with a great bunch of guys that are pretty much Lenny's age and accept us two old folks like we are one of them. They are a lot of fun and keep us young. In recognition of breast cancer awareness month Bill requested a pink wrist band which I gave him tonight. I then told Lenny, Kelly and David that one year ago today I was diagnosed. Hugs from all and I now feel better emotionally than I have in a week. Gotta learn to live by my own words I guess....TALK ABOUT IT!
A reminder to watch the Lifetime Movie Network movie on Monday-Why I Wore Lipstick To My Mastectomy. JB, you'll have to let me know how you like it you old LMN person you...haha.
David and I are off to the northland tomorrow after treatment to close up the camper, yes it is officially the end of the season...RATZ huh.
In closing tonight I am sharing a fun picture. This is myself and my cousins all with our naturally curly hair. What a crew huh? Enjoy.

One year ago today hey? I'm not even sure of what to say other than that I'm proud of you! I feel like I probably don't tell you that enough and perhaps I'm not the most supportive person, but I hope you know I'm always here and think of you often.
We do have a cute little pack of dogs don't we? I always have a bit of guilt for how much Pixie is at your place. But, as I was saying the other day... looking at a sad Pixie home alone is a worse feeling than bringing her to the (probably, sick of us) day care. So, I compromise your possible irritation and my guilt with her happiness.
Have a fun weekend up-north. I'll feed the birds and squirrels. There's no broken parts on any of our stuff that I might decide to use, is there?
CHOW
You're the greatest and have always been there for me/us. And I probably dont thank you enough.
HA guilty about leaving Pixie here...whatever...since it was me who guilted you into taking her in the first place. It's a pleasure to do doggie daycare.
