I started this blog to keep folk up to date on my husband's melanoma treatments. I have kept up daily blogs for almost 15 years...sometimes health related...sometimes just daily routine. My husband was in remission with his Melanoma but new melanoma diagnosis 3/2021 so started back on Keytruda. 8/2020 began home Peritoneal Dialysis. 7/2022 began training for home hemodialysis…never a dull moment! Come join us in our daily routine...sometimes humdrum...sometimes sit on the edge of your seat!

Party! Party!
We have had quite the day today! Woody started out the day walking six miles. The children and I had a usual Monday schedule of school. While we were having school, Woody went to the Life Care Center to have Bible study with Jeff and pay visits to other residents. As soon as Joy's long Grammy time was over, she, Goosey, and I headed next door to get ready to party, party and celebrate both Abigail and Joy's birthdays. The party started with lunch...a yummy pizza casserole...then came the cake. Joy had her cake last week on her birthday when they were in Florida. That meant that Abigail got her choice of cakes and this year she chose a cheese cake. Joy got to choose the ice cream flavors--cotton candy and rainbow sherbet. After all the eating, we adjourned from the kitchen and headed in for the presents. Joy had gotten a few of her presents on her real birthday, but had chosen to wait for the rest. So between the two girls there was quite a pile of gifts and wrappings by the time they were finished. Abigail had to work a bit to find out what her present was from her parents. She had to go on a scavanger hunt and ended up in their shed where she found an organ. She was very excited and got her daddy and Graham hopping on getting it into the house. At 2:27pm she became an official teenager...as you can see by her shirt! Oh, my...two teenagers next door now. Joy turned 11 last week and explained today that she was now more than a decade old! After the party Abigail came over to our house and embroidered one more design on her skirt. Oh...my secret birthday sewing...a shirt for Joy to go with a jean skirt that Joy is going to make and a t-shirt for Abigail that goes with the jean skirt that she is making. I was pretty tired after all the festivities and found myself dozing shortly after I finished supper this evening. Woody went to the Monday night prayer meeting at church and is now back. We are both settled in for the evening. I will close tonight by wishing a BIG happy birthday to Abigail! They know how to throw fun parties next door!
