    Welcome, Kathy.

    I just feel like if we got together, it would be as if we were neighbors on the same street, just as if we'd known each other for years.  Thank you for the encouragement, support, and shoulders to cry on (Eph, sorry about that last night).

    2011 is going to be better...it is!

    Thank you, Kathy.  I live in the San Joaquin Valley.  I had my birthday dinner last year down in Redondo Beach.  That was beautiful.  You will love the winters here, and get the benefit of being near your boys!

    God Has blessed me, and continues to do so.

    Daisy finally called me this afternoon to let me know she entered the orders.  So I called and scheduled the mammo, US and possible Bx for tomorrow at 11:00 am.  DH has a meeting so I will be braving LA traffic by myself, but I have done it many times before.  DH just doesn't like me going by myself, and has only allowed it once since we married.  Once less worry off my plate...

    My thanks go out to all of you.  I really hope that it will have all disappeared since the MRI and that will be the end of it.

     Blest Be the Tie That Binds
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    1. Blest be the tie that binds
    our hearts in Christian love;
    the fellowship of kindred minds
    is like to that above.

    2. Before our Father's throne
    we pour our ardent prayers;
    our fears, our hopes, our aims are one,
    our comforts and our cares.

    3. We share each other's woes,
    our mutual burdens bear;
    and often for each other flows
    the sympathizing tear.

    4. When we asunder part,
    it gives us inward pain;
    but we shall still be joined in heart,
    and hope to meet again.

    Meece, prayers going with you tomorrow.  I am glad too that you did not have to wait.  As barbe1958 said, lean on us and our prayers are for a good result for you.  Please be careful in your travels.  God Speed and much love. 

    My chemo schedule is messed up because we are in the bulls-eye of the winter storm here in Illinois.  I got moved to tomorrow morning for my last chemo treatment if my Dr. and team can make it down here.  We may have to stay in town at our son's house for a couple of days if the storm pans out like predicted with 18 inches of blowing, drifting snow.  I can't take a chance on staying out here in the country and lose our electricity as the temps are to get down to 10 below 0.  I can't be here if power goes out and we have no heat.  I'd get sick for sure.

    Then it is to continue to drift Wednesday and I am supposed to see my surgeon and get my first mammograqms too on Thursday if I can get there.  Such a bad time for me to deal with this weather.  Mammos have to be done before I see the Radiation Oncologist on the 11th.  

    I may be away from the computer for a few days but Meece, I'm sure going to be thinking about you tomorrow and praying all day.

    Hugs,

    Juanita

    Juanita...your post reminded me of the last chemo I had the first time around.  It came a snow storm while I was taking the treatment and it took us 9 hours to get home, normally a 2 1/2 hour trip.  We had the best time on that trip...full of laughs.  Enjoy your visit with your son and congrats on your last chemo tx. 

    Meece...saying prayers for you tomorrow also. 

    I had a wonderful day with my Dad today.  Two days straight without a mini stroke...yeah!!!  We actually ventured out and did some shopping and visiting with friends...Praise God!!!

    Karen, what a blessing the past days have been for you and your dad.  May the good days continue.

    Juanita, I will be praying for the successful coordination of your final chemo, and a warm place for you to recouprate!

    Thank you everyone for your prayers.  DH changed his schedule and will be traveling with me today.  I am confident that it is going to be clearing up.

    Perhaps I should wear a top like this today.  But I think I need even more pockets for all of my sisters!

    Clocking in.

    Available to add prayers to the garden this morning to all in need.

    Especially praying for you Meecie, dearest. You can do this. You can. Deplorable that you must, but no sense in spending any energy on that concept.

    Yesterday I got to play in the "garden-of-blessedness-of-the-beach."

    I was graced with a picture that I will always treasure.

    I think that I captured a bit of the Holy Spirit, surveying heaven's glisten.

    Meecie. Know that we are here for you.

    xx00xx00xx00xx

    Strength and courage.

    Strength and courage.

    Strength and courage.

    An absolutely amazing picture, Faithie.  Thank you.  Isn't it amazing that Our Creator took into account each little twinkle when he made the water?
