Someone reminded me today that it has been a long time since I have posted anything on my blog. Seems time zips by and the busyness just overcomes us. The warm weather is here in Florida and it is Football Season for Kelly. That means every Saturday morning at 10 Grammy is sitting in her lawn chair cheering for his team. Hard to believe he is getting so big. Hunter is also growing like a weed and of course, the prettiest girl in town. I am attaching their chicken dance videos so you all can enjoy them as much as I do.
I am working from home for a few weeks and not having to travel all the time is a nice respite I also get all the medical stuff done, PET scan, ECHO, Stress test etc. Sort of like getting a car overhaul once a year.
Talk with my sister Ann in Big Fork and they are still having snow. Tom, my Indy son is planting their garden and Mitch, my Seattle Friend is enjoying tulips, daffodils and all the wonderful flowers we can't grow in Florida(unless in pots).
Planning a trip to Orlando this week so may have some updated Park pictures. Epcot is having the flower festival which is always awesome.

The title survivor is an accurate one. Each time I visit a Doctor or have another test, I realize how fortunate I am to have survived to see children doing well, and grandchildren growing like weeds. The thought of survival is brought to mind as I had my MRI and still remain Cancer free. It has been lots of years now but the thought still remains huddled in the dark corners of my mind. Each time there is apprehension and then relief when the results come back. The results this time indicate a visit to the neurosurgeon is necessary so we attack that hurdle when it presents itself. Right now I am in Seattle and dealing with cold and wind....but thankful each day my feet are above ground when I look down. We all have hurdles, barriers, and challenges that we must jump, overcome, and meet. But if we do it with a positive attitude and belief, somehow they are easier to jump, overcome and meet. Thanks to friends, family and just the general person in the street you meet each day that passes you with a smile or a hello gives youu a reason to keep moving along. A brief chat in an elevator, a pleasant clerk in a store, and a phone call from a child checking to make sure you are safe is what makes it all worthwhile. Today, I am proud and happy to be a survivor.
