Wow!

      Hi everyone!  I'm totally amazed at how many of you took a look last month!  Thank you for stopping by!  We had a busy summer here and it looks like our fall and winter will be no different.  Unfortunately, two weeks ago I got a breast cancer diagnosis.  I have to have surgery soon and then we will know just what my treatment will be.  Whether I will be able to keep this up during my treatment, I have no idea.  It could be a good distraction.  They've caught it early, so I'm trying to be optimistic. 
       Since my last blog, my son has started his vocational training.  I have to say that I love the folks that he is working with.  He has spent time working at a Pizza Hut, at a Chelo's, at a Walmart, at places that get local fruit and vegetables ready for restaurants, and tomorrow the library!  I'm amazed at the number of retail stores and restaurants they have who are willing to give my son and others like him a chance to try out their skills in a work place.  So far he has been doing really well.  They know of my diagnosis, and so worked with him on letting himself into the house with his own set of keys.  Not only that, yesterday he had a dentist appointment along with his sister.  They offered to give us a ride there!  I declined, but now that we know they both have to go back to get cavities filled (oh well!), that just may come in handy.  So, so far vocational training has been wonderful.  I'll keep you posted as I can.  Keep smiling everyone!  Hugs.
