We miss all our fur babies that have passed but this picture captures our family of love. I am taking the picture so you will just have to imagine me sitting somewhere in this photo. Everyone that knows us will say when they die they want to come back as one of our pets. LOL we do spoil them!

I AM SO VERY HAPPY TO SAY MY 89 YEAR OLD DAD IS DOING VERY WELL AFTER HIS SURGERY ON HIS EARS FOR CANCER - THE DOCTORS GOT ALL THE CANCER. SO I AM SENDING THESE BALLONS THANKING ALL OF MY FRIENDS FOR THEIR PRAYERS! BLESS YOU ALL!
I am in Arizona helping my parents. My dad has melanoma and because he didn’t want to inconvenience me he did not tell me about two new spots that had become very serious. His reasoning is my mom has late stage dementia and she doesn’t remember much of anything including my dad as her husband or any of her five children. She can be very difficult at times and you cannot let her out of your sight for too long as she can be a danger to herself as well as the house. Now I call every day from Las Vegas to check on them. I feel even though my mom doesn’t remember me she still needs the social interaction. Dad says it helps her moods a lot and it gives him a few moments to himself. Anyway I call my dad ask my usual questions of how do you feel, etc. His voice sounds weak so I probe harder. Finally he says he needs to have surgery on both ears but he can’t leave mom and she gets mean with strangers. When my dad says he needs surgery I know it is serious. Luckily I had retired this year so I told him I will come down schedule your surgery. He said, “Mom has gotten worse.” I finally convinced him to schedule surgery. The doctors were able to fit him in one week. I packed gave all my fur and feather babies a little love and was off with my husband’s blessings. My Dad is 90 years old and he decided he would drive himself to the surgery clinic. I was not happy about that so I made him promise to call an Uber/Taxi to drive him home if needed. Traffic scares my mom to death. Mom can only handle extremely short distances. So driving that far to take him or pick him up was out of the question and we could not leave her alone. Mom is also convinced that clouds are trying to kill her and it was a cloudy day. I have been here one week so far and I will be staying three more weeks. My 90 year old dad had no idea how painful this surgery was going to be. The surgeon had to actually cut off sections of his ears, remove most of the cartilage around his eardrums and dig down quite deep to get all the cancer. Then a plastic surgeon had to take what was left and stitch together his ears. They did a great job but right now my dad looks like a Frankenstein victim. The doctor told him he is lucky that he had the surgery because the cancer would have killed him before too long. I know 90 is a long time for a man to live, but I pray my dad has more time. I am not quite ready for him to go to heaven. My mom as hard as it sounds, I pray to God every night asking him to release mom from her tortured brain. I will still miss her when she passes but I would rather she be in heaven with God, my sister and the rest of her loved ones than to feel so lost and afraid. I love my parents.
October is cancer awareness month. Set your appointment for your ANNUAL BREAST SMASHING MAMMOGRAM!10/10/2021 I got my annual breast smashing mammogram done last year. The doctor said, Jacqueline, you have stage one Breast Cancer. I said well not for long cut that stuff out of me! Biopsy actually got it all! Whoo Hoo!!! Now I just have to have hormone therapy for five years. A Positive attitude is very important. Down side is this hormone therapy causes you to gain wait. I do not need any extra weight! My boobs weigh enough! A sense of humor is also important!
I am the wife of a hunter, fisherman and all around outdoors guy. I love him to get out and be his own man. I on the other hand enjoy comforts. Roughing it I rarely do. I do enjoy off road ATV adventures. My husband being the thoughtful man he is bought a very comfortable ATV a while back with a back seat. As you can see it was a cold morning. All bundled up and ready to go. Another thing my husband does, bundles us up, making sure his entire family stays warm and comfy! I think he had insisted I put on three layers of sweaters and coats; all you can see is my smile. He says “It will warm up as the day progresses. You can always take something off.” Look at our dogs, don’t they look cozy and warm. The container in the back has water, food, survival tools and who knows what else. I always feel so safe with him. Love is grand!
Ryan, our nephew, passed away 9/30/21, he was only 39. The tears are less today because I chose to concentrate on all the wonderful memories. One in particular is a fishing trip Uncle Loren took us on. Ryan was so cute! I think he was five at the time.
