Pink Ribbons

 Far Guy is a Breast Cancer Survivor...in a few months it will be a year since his last radiation treatment.  His Breast Cancer was found by our Dermatologist...so far he is her one and only male breast cancer discovery.  

The local clinic had pink ribbons to sign and they are hung in the window. I signed one for Far Guy.

I also signed one for our sister in law who is a 20 year Breast Cancer survivor!

Breast Cancer is a struggle and everyones struggle and treatment are a bit different.  My hats off to them all as it is not a pleasant journey. 

Ladies remember to get your mammograms!  AND men can do a breast exam just like women can...I watched Far Guy's Oncologist do Far Guy's exam... men just do it!

A gift

 Peach painted me a gift at daycare.

A gourd mostly covered in blue paint.  It is a work of art and I love it!!!

The craft sale was fine, I saw lots of friends and a couple of relatives...however I did not make enough to retire...oh wait I am already retired...I can buy more yarn!

The Greats

 I had two appointments in Grand Forks on Friday...a recheck after my change in BP meds and an MRI of my Thoracic spine for the pain management Doctor. 

On Thursday night we had pizza with the Greats!

Baby K is getting her molars...hence the bright cheeks! 

Peach do you have your shoes on the right feet? 

They are a busy bunch of kids! 

We got home just in time for me to load up stuff for a craft sale on Saturday.   We shall see how it goes!

Lexie and Chase

 Our eldest daughter Trica and her beau have two dogs.   They are well behaved and very good therapy for Jerry who has suffered six strokes since early Summer.   The Doctors are not finding the cause very quickly.   Jerry talks slower, thinks a long time on some things and his sense of taste is whacky...he liked anything with peaches, sauerkraut, eggs and lemonade other than that all food tasted the same.

Chase 

Chase really like me...and I really liked him.   Lexie liked to be petted and liked treats...but was not as calm and chill as Chase. 

It was fun to have dogs to pet again.
