It has been a while and friends will know which event these photos represent.
Thanks to friends for all their support. We are blessed with a great group of friends.

NM fall

OK, Tiffany reminded me that I promised to post some photos so here goes. There were so many good ones to choose from! I know I posted one scenic twice but I could not figure out how to take it out...so llive with it. I will post more that have humans in them later. The church is in southern Colorado and was just a shell. Still, we were drawn to it.

Dear Friends

How often do we wonder what ever happened to someone we knew in high school. I know that is why there are High School reunions. But those come with so much hoopla. One friend I have known since I was pre-school, Luann, and I reconnected this year. Our Mom's were good friends. We took up where we left off. She is an amazing funny lady. Well, she and two other good friends and Lavonne and I got together this month in the Jemez mountains to reconnect and tell old stories that were funnier than I every remembered. Who knew a squirrel pelt meant so much to a foreign exchange student?
Ladies...the laughter was much needed and how wonderful that we all turned into interesting and happy people. We have to do this again!

Deer at Dad's

These beautiful deer have been hanging around Dad's for all of 2010. Now, they are all grown.

update

Radiation going well. I am a bit crispy on one side and that will go away in a few months. My hair is thin and dry but still on my head and I seem to be eating OK. So, all is going well.
Judy and Sharon are back from Maui and the winter icy grip has finally eased. Spring has to be on the way!

Cancer

I have not posted since Fall...what's up with that?
It has been a tough fall but winter really kicked it into high gear. We have been in snow up to our keesters since early December. Right now we have more than 3 feet of snow on the ground. It has morphed out of snow and into a block of ice that will hold a truck. Our fair city did a really poor job of clearing the streets. We went from regular trucks to private contractor. Lavonne claims our snowplow was a Mini Cooper with a blade. It does look like that.
Now, with the nasty weather (7 major snows since Jan.) we had another challenge. I was diagnised with breast cancer in late Fall. I had the biopsy (fun) the full surgery (more fun) and now radiation. I will do Tamoxafin after the radiation. We caught it early and that is all good. So, I go through one radiation treatment each day now and get a little nauseous (maybe some weight loss?) and some exhaustion (I am a good napper). So far so good and we will get through this and count our blessings and kick any of our friends and loved onve who do not get a regular mamogram...be warned.

Fall and Los Alamos

It is Fall in New Mexico and the colors have been beautiful. The large deer has been enjoying a snack in Dad's backyard a couple of times each week.
