Snow in Dallas?

It snowed in Dallas, Texas! Yea, sure we do get a little snow every now and then. But this time we got 10 inches of the white flakes. That has not happened in Dallas, Texas for over thirty years. People here are in shock. They have closed schools, businesses and some roadways. This sort of thing just doesn’t happen here.














There are large areas that are without power due to the weight of the snow breaking tree limbs onto power lines. They have called in crews from other areas to assist with getting the power back on.



I have taken so many pictures my camera is starting to get heavy! The dogs can’t find a place to potty!

Got the Itch

I have got the itch to hook up the fifth wheel and go somewhere. I got it really bad! There is a small problem, we have posted some things on Craig's List for sale. I guess we kinda need to be here in case anyone wants to stop by look at the stuff. We posted the Hot Tub, We need to get rid of it before we rent the house. It's an insurance thing. We have posted Dawn’s piano, her mother bought it for her when she was a small child. She doesn't play anymore. We also posted the Honda Gold Wing parts that were removed in order to make the trike conversion. My son suggested we give Craig’s List a try. He posted the items for us and an hour later we were getting calls. Maybe this is the way to sale some of this stuff!

We are going to have to take a trip somewhere this summer. I need it! Maybe when Mom is finished with her radiation she will feel like a weekend trip. Dawn and I are sitting on GO.

Mom's Last Chemo

Today was Mom's last chemo. She was so excited to get it done and behind her. The doctor explained that she will still need to get her blood work done often and she will be scheduled for radiation five days a week for six weeks. The port will remain in place for a couple more years just to make sure she won’t need it again.

The past six month has been very stressful on all of us and Mom has been through a lot. It has defiantly made us all a little stronger. I would not wish cancer, surgeries, chemo and radiation on anyone. It takes a real toll on the family. I am so very grateful that I belong to a family of very strong women.

We know that there is a chance the cancer could come back. Today we are forging ahead with positive thoughts that it is gone for good.
