Went to Geisinger today no chemo, no radiation.Dr. Kennedy feels since only one lymph node out of seven was positive further treatment is not necessary. Plus his age and possible side effects would be worst than any extra safety measures. Or just in case actions.

We sort of got lost over the holiday season. Didn't do any posting. Saddest thing was the death of our dear Elden.Funeral and burial Christmas Eve.I was in charge of the funeral lunch,we served 86 people.Our normal childrens service on Christmas eve had already been changed to the previous Sunday.It has been a very tiring holiday season , with many issues being brought up.Several in our church groups.Several family problems but seem to be less after awhile.Still praying for family and friends in need.

Scrooge
Date:

Your Story:
Ah! I love your last entry! and I'm not a Scrooge. just competitive. I always win. Funny story. I dreamt NH contributor drove down to PA because she was mad at something you or Sara said. Anyway, She was going after the twins with a plastic fork and poked me in the hand! One prong broke off in my palm and there was blood everywhere. So I did a karate move on her and got plastic strip hand cuffs and put on her. like the use on COPS. Now what did THAT dream mean? I ate onions on my taco for supper. lots. maybe that was it. I woke up and Mike was awake. Said he had a nightmare too. Sammy drowned in a Channel. 1/2 hr later Sammy was in the bathroom sink. filled it. dunked his head. I said what are you doing?! He said swimming. I thought that was weird. PS: would love to see you over Christmas some year, but call first! lol:)

Aunt Jean had kidney stones removed today. Pulverized and removed. Uncle Elden in hospital leaking valve, causing fluid in lungs, will need tapped. also his pace maker not working correctly may need to be replaced. Probably with one that has a defibrilator. (probably spelled) wrong too tired to care. went to Matt's last football game tonight.Really cold.Charles bought Mike and I hot dogs no condiments, just hot dogs in bun.He also helped me plant flowers this afternoon I marked six spots for him to dig holes he dug one hole between each spot I marked. I had to make adjustments.It is 10:30 PM knocking on the front door. He had gone out the back door and couldn't get back in. This could mean bad problems soon.

He was trying to squeeze in between the comforter and sheet.... funny. I had to say "it's ok, Buddy. It's a BLANKET."

My son almost jumped out of the cart yelling "Fluckerflies!Fruckfries!" What was it? "Frosted Flakes". also good ones: odest son again: CaPeeseee for spaghetti.

Just think your site is hoot! I don't know how you are doing it Betty, although my own personal thought has been, How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. So I put out the fire at my toes and take a bite. Chris just spent 3 days in the hospital with pneumonia, I stayed with him. Kitchen 'fairy' never showed up.

Your Story:
Last night we were watching a show as we were putting the twins to sleep. On this one sitcom, a guy got drunk (nice viewing for a 2 yearold, I know) and ended up getting a tattoo on his extreme lower back of a butterfly. Noah had earlier colored his front torso with blue marker. He pulled up his PJ top and said "Noah's butterfly" This morning he was showing it off again. "My butterfly. My butterfly"....
