One year livin strong…
01 year ago
We have a six month checkup at G’town tomorrow AM with Dr. Marshall. We are now at 1 year post chemo – hard to believe its been a year that we completed the chemo therapy. A year to get our lives back to a comfortable norm – which is not the same norm as before the big ole C -it’s sweeter and better in many ways.
The kids are year older and really don’t even remember their Dad being sick. Even to me – it seems like such a long time ago that being in the thick of it doesn’t seem real. Which is a good thing!
Scotty is working out regularly in the mornings in the bargain basement Elliptical room. He is back to being a partner in the household, which for both of us is more than welcomed! We are a happier and stronger team – and I even have free time to myself, something that rarely happened before.
I am so thankful for my family, I can’t put it into words.
Rob Pattinson is funny

I love Robert Pattinson – it’s my ode to teenybopper-ism. Call me a Twilight Mom – I don’t care. I just think he’s adorable, funny and doesn’t seem to take himself very seriously. Here’s a funny clip promoting the MTV music awards – it’s NSFW:
How To Observe Memorial Day
0
The “Memorial” in Memorial Day has been ignored by too many of us who are beneficiaries of those who have given the ultimate sacrifice. Often we do not observe the day as it should be, a day where we actively remember our ancestors, our family members, our loved ones, our neighbors, and our friends who have given the ultimate sacrifice:
- by visiting cemeteries and placing flags or flowers on the graves of our fallen heroes.
- by visiting memorials.
- by flying the U.S. Flag at half-staff until noon.
- by flying the ‘POW/MIA Flag’ as well (Section 1082 of the 1998 Defense Authorization Act).
- by participating in a “National Moment of Remembrance“: at 3 p.m. to pause and think upon the true meaning of the day, and for Taps to be played.
- by renewing a pledge to aid the widows, widowers, and orphans of our falled dead, and to aid the disabled veterans.
