A few days ago I was out on my bike and saw this farm.  I had to stop and take a few photos. My farm friend said to call it a heifer! I really wanted to paint this.  It mooooved me!  I know a bit cheesy, but I still have my humor.  One more tomorrow!

A beautiful Cala Lily…thank you Sue
And just when Linda was trying to figure out dinner…Ron & Carol drop off fresh made bread, soup and tapioca!

House Update: Abbey went home Friday evening after spending all week with us.   Rashetta was here half the week,  I enjoyed watching the girls work on a puzzle each evening.  Laughter filled the house.  We spent all of Saturday working on our 2nd floor apartment.  I am helping while I can!  I finished emptying out the attic, swept it, carried the spare carpet/flooring/ceiling tiles up.  Linda primed the new drywall and worked on the little enclosed porch.  Getting closer to renting.  So I will start putting this out there.  Beautiful 2nd floor, 1 bedroom apartment perfect for 1 quiet older person. New stove and fridge, fresh paint, new carpet and flooring,  has a stackable w/d, Central air,  Heat included. Street parking,  No pets.  rent: $1000. We are being very careful renting it,  the person is living where we live!

Health Update:  Monday morning is my 2nd Chemotherapy treatment and bloodwork.

I am continuing with a Valentine flower thought...

Health Update: I am thrilled to report I am feeling OK.  I had one day of fatigue and brain fog and that's it.  I rode outside 1x and inside on rollers 2x and took a 1.5 mile walk.  I am doing my exercises, eating small meals often, drinking my 64oz of water and gargling with awful stuff 4x a day.  I am also using plastic (silver) ware to eat with, someone told me it helps with the metallic taste.  So maybe I am heading off some issues but feeling very grateful. 

I want to give a HUGE thank you to all the food and gifts pouring in.  With some extra duties falling on Linda it is nice she has not had to cook.  Our fridge looks like a smorgasbord and I am grazing my way through it!  Nothing is going to waste.  So THANK YOU all.  I have also received some treasured gifts.


This BEAUTIFUL hand painted box is from Sarah Gilligan.


A hand made copper tree from Joel Hutchinson.
His work is in Lititz Purple Robin.


A jar of uplifting sayings from Tracee & Ruth.

Plus books, blankets, another port shirt and some wild dinosaur socks!
I am so blessed, THANK YOU all.

This snowman is from our snowstorm  January 1/25.  Thank you to the Flowers family for the use of their snowman, the kids did a great job considering there was not that much snow!  I love that everything is a little off center.   I did change the background!

Health Update:  Wednesday was my IV disconnect day.  I am currently free of tubes! I have the OK to ride my bike as long as I am not around people!  I am so incredibly blessed, so far I have had no side effects other than a little tired but I take a short nap!  Your hundreds of prayers are working...keep it up.
