My son runs in High School Cross Country. Every time I’m at a meet I am almost to the point of tears to see how hard these kids must work to run 5k (3.1 miles). Some of them must have a passion for running. At the meet, last Saturday one girl was way out in front of...

I updated last week’s post, so it would have the same units of measure that were on Mike’s handwritten recipe. As I have looked at past posts I’ve seen other mistakes. I was going to go back and make corrections but have never made the time to do it. This is when...

This post has been edited because I had the wrong units of tomatoes from the recipe. That’s what I get for trying to write from memory when I could have double checked the recipe. Last week I was inspired to post the following on FaceBook after changing the...

Who knew how much of your time people want after a funeral. I will get back to publishing weekly after this post. On July 9th I drove to Kansas City to see the radiation oncologist. I had said I wouldn’t go back to KC until after John was done with swimming for the...

I don’t even know where to start this week. Wednesday, June 27 I was celebrating finishing chemo complete with a glass of champagne. Now I’m grieving the loss of my husband. It started on Tuesday, June 26. I took him to the Emergency Room in Colby because of severe...

Mostly my chemotherapy has been easy. Yes, there has been some fatigue and aches and pains. And the hair loss and now regrowth has been interesting, it’s coming back in white. But why has it been so easy? I feel like a big part of that is because I was...
