Happy Birthday Judy, have a great party.  You are sorely missed.

My treasures from today and the past, from family and friends.



What a beautiful day to enjoy.  I wore one of my knit caps and found it to be just a little too warm for this much heat, so best put it away for now.  I had my, day after, shot today to help keep the white blood cells from going so low.  I didn't have this last time because Dr. Rado wanted to see if the chemo was working and with a low of o.o it is working very well and I have very good bones to have the numbers come up so high.  Yea for good bones.  Blessing are abounding.  I feel all your prayers and want to keep you, in the know,  to show everyone how much and how powerful prayer can be.  I am a walking example. 
Had a good talk with our oldest this morning, just calling his mom, to see how I was doing.  Then two of my granddaughters, that I love so much, came by for lunch.  Then a good, long time, friend came to visit and brought me a bouquet of flowers and a very sweet card.  Then is when I got my shot and after that Costco and Heritage, next to Costco.  They sell a shoe that is called a switch-flop.  I got a pair, a couple of years ago and the part that holds the shoe on is covered with velcro and the decoration can be velcroed on the shoe, so they can be switched out, very cute. Since they are very comfortable I just had to have another pair. Came home and then crashed. Janene  was wanting to come over, so she came, with the cutest hat she had knitted.  She is very good at working with yarn and I am sure she would take orders for these cute little hats.  This one is so very comfortable and she can make any size, I just wanted it to fit all over so it is a bit larger than most would want. I love it.


KIDS ARE QUICK
Teacher:  Maria, go to the map and find North America.
Maria:  Here it is.
Teacher:  Correct.  Now class, who discovered America?
Class:  Maria


THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
TODAY
Outside my window a new day I see and only I can determine what kind of day it will be.
It can be busy and sunny, laughing and gay,
or boring and cold, unhappy and grey,
my own state of mind is the determining key,
for I am only the person I let myself be.
I can be thoughtful and do all I can to help,
or be selfish and think just of myself.
I can enjoy what I do and make it seem fun,
or gripe and complain and make it hard on someone.
I can be patient with those who may not understand,
or belittle and hurt them as much as I can.
But I have faith in myself and believe what I say,
and I personally intend to make the best of each day.

  4. Hi Robin;

    It was great visiting you Wed. during Chemo. That place is actually very uplifting and cheerful...not at all like I expected. I really feel this is all going to turn out fine, as attitude is so important and yours is great. Also, you have so much love surrounding you and a great husband and family!!

    Love You, Shirley

  6. Robin, good for you! You are continuing to smile and do some of the things you want to do! Some days I get to do some of the things I want to do too ~ You have always had a smile and a sweet disposition and it certainly comes through in your writings. I am waiting . . . waiting . . . for the end of your . . .
