READY FOR CIRCLEVILLE & FAMILY

Today:
Well I am sorta ready to go to Circleville. I hate leaving my dog, Dutchess and some how she always knows when I'm leaving! Even if she doesn't see me pack, or get things ready. She follows me around like she's never going to see me again! It sure makes me feel guilty! Then I have to leave Jake, the yellow naped Amazon and Paco the Mallucan parrots too! So I feel 3 times as guilty. She why I wish we could take the fiver. I could at least bring my dog and one of the birds. Don't ya just hate winter?

Mom:
My Mom is having a Cat scan next week to make sure her lung cancer is still gone. Ten years ago she had 1/3 of her right lung removed due to stage one cancer. So now it is time for her check up in Columbus at the James Cancer Center. She has done wonderful since the surgery, and they got it all, because it was a very small tumor. She did not have to have radiation or chemotherapy for it, so it was a real miracle that they found it when they did, because it was a very fast growing cancer. The same kind of cancer that our friend Rick had, only his was stage 4, and he passed away last February. It's hard to believe it's been almost a year since we lost Rick. That's one anniversary I'm dreading coming around. Anyway, back on track, I will be there when Mom has her scan this time. She has only had to have one a year for the last 5 years instead of one every 6 months, so that is good. I would like to know what is zapping her energy though, because as I said yesterday she hasn't bounced back like she did before when she would get sick.

Well Mike should be back from his doctor's appointment soon, so I had better finish packing or I'll be in trouble when he gets back. LOL!! I'm trying to finish up the laundry before I leave, so I will only have to face what we took with us when we get back instead of all the laundry, so be safe and I'll see ya Over the Rainbow...
