Looks like Keith will be going to Kenya for two weeks! It hit me last night how lonely I was going to be.  Many of you know, but for those who don’t Keith is the bestest friend I have ever had. I don’t mean that to be sappy.  I honestly think we were made for… [Read more…]

Phew.  It’s been probably two weeks since I sat down at the computer for more than ten minutes.  Figure an updated is needed. Or an explanation as to why I have been busy. The short answer is: Randy.  Our (formerly) homeless friend Randy has moved into our basement.  We had the room and he needed… [Read more…]

I just had to post about this.  We had such a great weekend! First, we picked up our homeless friend Randy and brought him home for the weekend.  We did a lot of hanging out with him and playing cards. Sunday, I banished Keith and Randy to the basement after dinner while I got things… [Read more…]

But I’m totally not. Yesterday, I went to see a cancer specialist.  We sent off for a biopsy.  I love the doctor!  He was uber friendly, comforting and open.  He told me that we would receive the results in 7-10 days but that coupled with an abnormal pap smear, it’s quite likely I have cancer.… [Read more…]
