I just rememberd that you and Ed were going to head to the White Mts on 9/7-9/10. I hope that is why you have not been posting. Hope that is where you are and you are having a joyful time together.

I spoke to Marie on Thursday evening and she and Ed were going away for the weekend. September 7th marked one year since Ed's diagnosis with cancer. I hope they are having a great time. I'm sure Marie will post with all the details of their wonderful weekend when she returns.

Awwww....you missed me!! (Smiling Out Loud)
How happy reading this post and how you girls missed me, it was 'Today's Joy' for me. I have much to say and will write quite an updated novel either today or tomorrow. Lots to say about:
Our 'one year cancerversary' get-away
His updated progress
Need for prayers on upcoming scans
My Joys
The trouble of no medical/getting Tykerb (we were getting it from our regular drug store..do not ask!!) (Uggh!!)
....and ya know..much much more.
For now I leave saying that I was surely not the same without you all. Last week was quite busy and I was fighting off some negative energy before it turned to ugly depression!!
I love you all and was honored to hear that you missed this NUT CASE!! LOL
Until my novel, lots of love, prayers, hugs and positive energy!! Always>>Believe51
