    I'm back. insomnia or 5 hours sleep is enough for the post-menopausal. Maybe a quick check in and back to bed. I think I caught some of Chemosabi's cold out here on the trail. Glad to see all is quiet on the front. Hopefully all sisters are resting peacefully.

    Morning watch has arrived. My usual wake up time. We stand strong together. Enjoying my first cup of coffee here. That first cup always tastes great, especially when brewed over an open fire.

    OMG - ladies beware. This cold I have is a nasty one and I have been coughing and sneezing into the computer. Hope you dont get it.

    In about an hour, I'll be putting some bacon in the frying pan. Always nice to wake up to the smell of bacon.

    To all my sisters who are in distress - we are here for you. We are gonna kick cancers butt.

    Nicki- Too late picked up the cold a couple days ago. Must have been the coffee.

    I'm up early this morning I'll start the biscuits and gravy. Oh, I forgot, I hate to cook. Maybe I'll go feed the critters.

    Hope all our circled girls slept well last night.
    Hugs all

    Ok I'm back on watch. Let our sisters sleep and heal. Just finished breakfast and rounding the camp with my trusty dog Ted, keeping our eyes and ears open. I'll be ready for our special thoughts tonight.

    I can join in on the cooking and add some sausage to that along with some good homemade maple syrup. Should have known being from the south I would have to add something that is fried.

    Heres hoping all is well with everyone as we keep this peaceful watch going. I have to do the sit down watch or ride my donkey because the mets that has recently started in my leg (pelvic area) cuts down on my walking but my faithful donkey Molly will get me where I need to go. She said we might need to add some watermelon to our breakfast and she can take care of all the rinds we don't eat.

    Hope everyone has a good day and I will be on watch for a bit now as soon as breakfast is finished. Amy

    Amy, I'll take Molly with us on our walk so you can rest also. I think he and Ted will be friends.

    I'm here to watch for a little while before going to work and I'll drop back in sometime during the day. Watermelon is a good idea - I'll have some in Diane's honor. Rest well those that have been up all night and I'll see the rest soon.

    Good morning ladies! I’m ready for my morning watch. I’ve decided to take a little bit different tact today. I’m leaving the shotgun by the fire and taking my sense of humor on my walk instead. I’ve heard the beast can’t stand laughter, so humor is my weapon of choice today.

    Laugh, Love, LIVE!

    we can do this ladies!!

    I'm here for the afternoon watch.

    Had to leave the circle last night, and go to a James Taylor concert. When he sang "Sweet Baby James" (his "cowboy lullabye"), I dedicated it to all of my "Circle Sisters." I thought of you all here, in the wagon circle, and said a little prayer...for ALL of us.

    I'm sure James didn't mind.

    So many sisters struggling! I will bring the coffee and pie for after dinner, someone needs to take the later watch, since I am on the west coast I will still be up when many are ready to bed down for the night I will help with that, maybe someone can take over at 2:30? We need a few dogs to join the circle to help warn us of the "critters" sneaking up on our fire! I would bring mine but he is a real chicken!

    I'll join you Cheryl. I'll bring my Pennydog. She's the best. She helped get rid of my "critter". I know she did.

    I will bring my two German Shepherds...Maggie and Tia...NOTHING chicken about the two of them, they will keep everyone safe. Gotta watch Tia though...she thinks she's a lap dog and will play fetch endlessly.

    I have Ginger on patrol with me. She seems to have forgotten that she is a fluffy little cocker spaniel. Last month she chased a brown bear out of our yard!!! She is also especially good at cuddling with anyone who needs a little extra lovin’.

    I was dragged kicking and screaming into the new Cabellas outdoor store that opened BUT I did find premade smore's, all packed up nicely and ready to warm over the fire. Chocolate, marshmallows and good friends, can it get any better? Jenene

    The rain has slowed as was pretty heavy last night but is now just a sprinkling off and on. I figure heaven just had to release those tears that went with our prayers. I see a few stars now trying to give some light to the darkness. I look around and see all these wagons in the glow from the fire - they are from Alaska, NY, Cal.,Mo,PA,NC,GA, DC, Ohio, Wis.,more than I can count. All the wagons are different otherwise too, some are young; some older, all have traveled a long hard road; some seem a little more worn from a longer trip but all form a circle of love and friendship that only being "sisters" from BC can bring. There is warmth by the fire; many still aren't resting well and join the circle from time to time and then leave again. As the reflection of the fire plays across their faces I see eyes that know pain; set jaws that show strength; and arms wrapped around legs as if to give hugs to those in their thoughts. They make me proud to be here.

    The fire burns, the circle keeps growing, we are here sisters; we are here.



    You made me cry again !

    hugs,
    Carrie

    Such a rough time for so many.

    I was telling my dear friend how much praying I need to do for the breast cancer org ladies on the boards. He said you all need it more than him and to skip my prayer for him. I just told him there are enough prayers for everyone. So I have been praying alot for everyone.
