    Thx EWB.

    Merilee, Mom2two talked to her today.  She has had a bad (really bad) stomach bug.  I think she is on the up side now.  Fingers crossed.

    On our way up here, we stopped in at an art gallery called, "The Flying Pig."

    (Those of you around last year will remember when I made my first pilgrimage there.)

    Anyhow. At the risk of starting a whole new chapter of pig-mania, I took these for you, Checkum:

    Good morning Escapees.  I thought you'd want to know that Arnie's DH has 'escaped' back to the hospital.  Sending prayers to Arnie and Mr. Arnie.  Gentle hugs.

    In honour of the new page, here's the sunset from out last night in Punta Cana.

    Love the pigs Faith, but what's with the painted wall behind everything? Kind of distracting!

    Arnie's DH Gary was also slurring his words this time, so scary...Arnie has chemo coming up soon and had a bad round last time. She needs big hugs for the next round!

    Barbe..... need to answer your question before I forget. The pics I posted I took in the bathroom of the gallery. LOL. There is a no picture-taking policy in the gallery itself. The bathroom has hand painted quotes all over the walls (large) and then the pig-nonsense is thrown in for added pizzaz.

    It's quite a bathroom to behold.

    Arnie & Gary, I'm not all together up-to-date, but I see that we're not outta the woods yet. I'm so sorry for all that you've undergone, Arnie, since we've gotten acquainted.

    Sharon, thank you for the update & keeping us in the loop on our hospitalized.

    Arnie, You are due a grandiose "escape" when all settles down and all of these health issues are well behind you in the rear view mirror. We'll keep you company until you arrive at your escape.

    Checkum, have you been able to 'train' any for the walk? How's your tent parnter's fund raising going?? Thinking of you having so much fun w/all of the pennants. Wait till you see Julz! She's gonna need an award -- so be thinking of something digitally appropriate.

    ((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((Arnie))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

    (((((((((((((((((((((((((((((Coonie)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

    Back at ya Coonie ((((((((BIG HUGS)))))))))) Missing you!!!

    ((((((Arnie & Gary)))))))) you are in my prayers each day.

    Faith - can't wait to see Julz's creations!!! Now I am curious.  I have been training - it is a challenge to keep the balance with training and trunk lymphedema --- but, I am doing the best that I can.  Leona (my teammate) has raised $1080.00 - she still has a ways to go.. I am hoping my company gives me a donation that I can divert to her account.  We will get there .. alot of people say the donations are slower this year (with the economy - it is kind of not a surprise).

    Nice sunset Barbe.  Howdy Sharon hope you are having a good weekend.

    Brooke says MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO to all the escapee's LOL

    Lol...I love you guys!  Told leslie last night that I picked 4 or 5 threads to post on because they were uplifting... sorry I've been such a downer lately Frown   But keep up the "funnies" because they make me smile.... 

    Mr. Arnie gave me quite the scare on Saturday... we had a nice day outdoors and came in for a nap.  I had just snuggled in when he called out to me, slurring his words...so I didn't even give him a choice I just called 911.  They've done multiple tests since Saturday, his WBC was up so he's on antibiotics and they haven't found the source for that either... Our main doc who was out of town this weekend will be in this a.m. soooooooo hopefully he'll take control and we'll start getting some answers. 

    I was going to cancel my last AC for tomorrow, but my family is insisting I don't.  I'm a little concerned about being in my "chemo" fog while this is going on with Mr. Arnie.  Still not sure what I'm gonna do.

    Again, my precious friends... thank you so much for the prayers and good wishes....

    (((((((((((((coonie))))))))))))))))))) so happy to see your posts!!!  Have been praying...

    (((((((((((shiny))))))))))))))) thought about you all day yesterday!!!  You're in my prayers too...

    I used to worship the sun...........long before we worried about UV and stuff. Now I find the sun saps my energy and makes me dizzy.  Well, at least I'm blaming the sun............

    Hi Julz,
    As Barb corrected me, I will correct you.

    It's BrookE  Mooooooooooooooo!

    So good to hear from you!

    My 14yo loves to take computers apart and rebuild them.  He started when he was about 8 with our computer.  We were not happy.  Now he 'collects' broken computers and fixes them in my basement.  I have tons of them down there.  At least it keeps him away from mine!  I hope your DH fixes yours so we can see your pennants!!  Checkum must be getting so excited.  I know I can't wait to see her tent.
