Our newest addition...ROCKY!


We were trying on his new OSU shirt. He didn't mind it too much!


He loves Mom and Mom gets a kick out of him too. He was tickling her neck and licking her ear and she was laughing so hard! It was funny!


He does sleep in his new bed occasionally. But not at night. He sleeps with mommy & daddy.


Having fun with his new ball.



I (not "we") have been debating on getting a dog or cat for some time now. I get lonely when Gary is at work all day and I am home. :( So, Ruth got me a new puppy. He is so darn cute! We got him on Oct 27th and he was 6 weeks old. His mommy is Yorkie/Poodle but they are not sure about the daddy. Mommy slipped out one night for a little fun! hehe. Could be a Jack Russell??

It's 2010! Time to Reflect...

Almost 18 months cancer-free...how long will it last? Such an aggressive cancer, this damn Leiomyosarcoma! Every CT/MRI I have had since my completion of radiation in August 2008 was VERY stressful. Even when I didn't realize it, "SCAN"XIETY loomed in the back of head. Knowing that I had a 50% chance of the cancer returning. Wondering if NOT having chemo back then was the right path. Since my doc's hadn't dealt with many sarcomas, did they really know the BEST treatments?

The last year and half has brought me so much joy and contentment. To be a GRANDMA! Wow. I love it! To become so much closer to my family. My sis is my best friend now! My husband and I couldn't be any closer. I get to see my daughter and her family every week when I go to babysit my little Maxton. My stepdaughter moved in with our youngest grandson, Marcus, for 6 months. He is a little angel. My Mom has been so much help to me through all my health issues. My stepdad and I have become closer than I ever thought possible. He has been down the cancer road as well. My Mother-in-law has moved closer to us and our relationship has grown. And then I began working at Samaritan and have some wonderful friends! I love that place so much! It's worth the 45 minute drive.

I HAVE A WONDERFUL LIFE!
And I know how to live it...by the seat of my pants! :)

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive well preserved body, but rather to slide in sideways, chocolate in one hand, a beer (or tequila) in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, screaming "woo hoo, what a ride"
