For Older People with Sense

Anne, yes I saw your quilt on the quilting thread, you are amazing!! I'm afraid my quilting is rather basic but I still enjoy doing it......I have never and probably will never attempt to tackle anything like what you have done. Welcome!

Naaaw, thanks Wren on your cudos for my projects, much appreciated.

Wow TB! Coyotes waking you up, does that happen often? Where you live sounds like a paradise.......I'd love to be able to see those northern lights, one day maybe.

Love n hugs. Chrissy

TB, I see this world as a beautiful place no matter what the climate. Since my first dx in 2003 I take the time to notice even the small things around me ..........the line of a hill, a stalk of dry grass moving in a hot wind, to watching the rain fall on dry and parched earth, watching a wave crash onto rocks and throw lacy spume onto the rock and see it slide back into the sea. No matter where we live there is always something worthy of our notice and enjoyment. Wow! Two wolves......how cool is that!!

As the days pass since stopping the Affinitor my mouth is slowly improving.......it's still sore but no where near the level it was and I can eat a little more.....yay!! Thanks lovelies for you healing thoughts.

Oh Boots, sorry lovely for thinking Letrozole. The sentiment is the same though, I hope it does good things for you without too many harsh se's. Hope your MRI results are all good.

Oh Karen, I'm so sorry.......Bear was beautiful and I'm so glad I got to meet him. It's really sad when we need to say goodbye to loyal fur babies.

Wow Wren! I just never thought of coyotes coming into a city like Seattle but I guess there is no reason why not.

We occasionally have dingoes come into town but not all that often......thank goodness. We do, however, have kangaroos who live just on the outskirts so get to see them often. Bird life in my small town is plentiful particularly throughout the summer as we have permanent water in the creek. I have native lizards who live in my garden, one, a shingle back, loves to raid my tomatoe patch so I've got to be quick to get them before he does.......lol.....and the other (a blue tongue) comes inside most days and raids the cat dish of any leftovers. Needless to say it is very fat.

It has gotten so used to me moving around that it doesn't even duck for cover any more. They are totally harmless, both species but do look a little fierce.

Love n hugs all. Chrissy

Congrat Lisa on the upcoming nuptials of your son. Yes, daunting memories from the past can certainly haunt us when it comes to travel but I find telling myself, new day, new set of circumstances, everything will be fine tends to help. Try not to worry as it will rob you of the joy of the day.

TB, good luck with your visit tomorrow, I'm keeping everything crossed that you can get the radioactive iodine treatment. Oh, on the posting pics here......at the top of the dialogue box there is an icon that looks like a picture of mountains....just click on that and another box will open up with 'choose a file' click on that and your saved photos will open, scroll through and choose the one you want, click on it. You will see a moving line at the top of the page that tells you your photo is loading. When it's done your photo will appear in the dialogue box. Good luck.

Saw my specialist surgeon yesterday and caught him up with what's been going on over the last few months.......he's happy but wants to see me mid May after we get back from our travels. My 21 year old grandson asked if he and his girlfriend can come for the weekend.......naturally I said yes......lol. He's such a sweet boy and his girlfriend is a darling and fits perfectly with our family.......such a blessing. He is a subcontractor/ handyman and I have already asked him to do a couple of small fix ups while he's here, not that he minds as he doesn't.

Just three weeks now before we head off to England and Europe.......I'm excited but daunted as there is still so much to organize on the hone front but I'm sure I'll get there. Still got a few doctor appointments between now and then but then nothing for a couple of months.......ah, bliss.......lol.

Take care all.

Love n hugs. Chrissy

Lisa, the floods are thousands of miles from me.......I sort of wish some of that water would head our way as it's so dry here.

We are flying into Manchester landing March 2nd and then picking up a car. Our travels will be firstly heading up through the lakes district and over to York. Then heading into Scotland and making our way over to the west coast where we will ferry over to Ireland from Belfast we'll head south to Dublin then over via ferry to Wales and back into England ending up in London. The time frame for this is five weeks. Then we will be taking the train via the Chunnel over to Paris for a few days then training it into Holland where we will be until 20th April. I wanted to be there for the Tulip Festival.........I remember your beautiful photos from when you were there.
