Dust storm in Iraq
These people were not headed for a great day and yes this is a real picture.



Today was a great day and you ask "what made it a great day"?  I will tell you.  I had my once every 3 wks. appointment with Gini. Now your wondering, who the heck is Gini.  She is one of the most awesome people I know.  I started seeing Gini about 8 or 9 yrs. ago, we are not sure of the exact timing.  She is kind, sweet, ambitious, smart, very non-judgemental, caring, a good listener, uplifting, happy and a very good friend, etc. etc. etc.  At first it was all business but as time passed we began to realize how much we had in common, like, we both had mothers that came from the same mold so we talked a lot, cried, laughed and I always left feeling so much better than when I came in to see her.  I know, who is she, and why is she in my life, I will tell you,  just be patient.  Another amazing thing about her is she raised a (teenage) boy, all by herself and the best part is, he is now 21 and a wonderful young man.  OK, OK, several yrs. ago I decided it would be fun to have my nails manicured but I had no clue who to go to, so I asked a friend, Nancy Ott, who she went to and she highly recommened Gini and I am so happy she did.  Nancy was an Ottley at the time.  Don't laugh, it is no different than Janene Crook to a Law.  When I was getting my chemo, a week ago, the nurse told me of a lot of no, no's and one of them was no manicures or pedicures. I nearly jumped out of my chair, because I just couldn't stop going to Gini, so I asked, if I had my own tools, could I go then, and she said  "YES"   So today I got my own tools, went to see Gini and had a great time.  So that is why I had a great day.  So, if anyone is going to, anyone else, and is not happy, you better think of switching to Gini.  Even if you are happy you would be happier if you switched.
Many other wonderful things happened today also, like, talking to a good friend, talking to my kids, being with grandchildren, playing with my dogs, and feeling very loved by Bill.  Now tell me, what more could a person ask for to make a great day.


THE FOUR STAGES OF LIFE
1) You believe in Santa Clause.
2) You don't believe in Santa Clause.
3) You are Santa Clause.
4) You look like Santa Clause.

  1. Happy your day went so well....and a date with the manicurist can top it right off!!! I got an e-mail from Chuck Thout yesterday and he and his wife Gayle are coming to Lake Chelan, or it appears they are. Have not heard back from him today but will contact him again later in the week (they will be staying at Campbells). Joe's mom got sick with the flu yesterday so I went out and got him....he was joyous to have...not sure what today will bring as his dad said he may stay home and take care of Sami and Joe. Have a wonderful day my dear friend - Love you, Diane
