Monday Musings…On A Saturday
It’s been such an exhausting week that I almost forgot it began with snow. I was diagnosed with cancer one year ago today and spent this last week going through the process of getting all the tests and paperwork done for the next line of treatment now that the cancer has returned. Over the last…

Last Month In One Photo
I haven’t written much lately and since I don’t take as many photos as when I did “The Week In Seven Photos” posts, I thought I would try this new category. The month of September was a very stressful month in my cancer journey. Started the month clinging on to hope, quickly lost all hope…

Monday Musings
Nothing about last week went as planned, but some great news out of the week is that my oncologist said my tests show no lymphoma and I’ve had a tremendous response against my aggressive lymphoma and beat the odds so far. Also, I have a new camera and iPhone. Nothing about my following musings is…

Thankful Thursday
This week I’m thankful for my first walk on Main Street this year and walk-up only coffee shops. I enjoyed a honey roasted almond latte while walking Harper back to the car, thankfully downhill.

I really can’t believe how quickly we’re approaching the end of November and that I finally had to find my gloves and boots. It was a full week of appointments and after being in the hospital the week before I’m really looking forward to three days off before more tests and my treatment beginning in…

Monday Mystery
It’s a mystery to me after a weekend full of exhausting football games how I managed to throw together a blog post. Just like how I won’t give up on my favorite quarterbacks, I find myself unable to give up on my current 1,263-day streak of posting. I was actually looking forward to the college…

Trivial Tuesday – Cover Songs
I was flipping between my two favorite Saturday morning college football programs and had to stop on one channel for a bit while a musician was singing “Take Me Home, Country Roads” for the West Virginia fans prior to their game against Penn State. I immediately thought how much I’ve always enjoyed the John Denver…

Monday Mystery
It’s a mystery to me as to why I haven’t visited an Olga’s Kitchen restaurant in years. Olga’s is a Michigan based restaurant that began in 1970 as a Greek-American family restaurant chain and currently has 25 locations. It was one of my favorite lunch spots when I first began working in the ‘80s, but…

Thankful Thursday
Now here is an item I had no idea would show up on my simplistic gratitude journey, but I am very thankful for this collection of floral folding hand fans. By the end of summer, I am very tired of the sounds of fans and being hot and these are absolutely wonderful for when you…
