Cancer's a Mother Fucker

My friend Jill has put up a brave fight with Ovarian Stage 3 cancer since 2003. She and her husband have contacted our local hospice care and Jill's life is now in weeks and days. You would have loved her, she's a laugher. Always has a smile and a belly laugh! If you read this post would you just say "Jill" right outloud so that all over the world her existence is being aknowledged. Also, if you feel like it have a big old belly laugh.

An Iris by any other name...

This time of year is just bursting with vibrant colors.

Spring Snow

Well the blossoms have all fallen off the Dogwood onto the front lawn. As Marilyn's Shampoo called it: Blossom Snowstorm.

Dental work or maybe a stroke??

This morning I had crown work done. I say it that way because they send you home with a temp crown for 2 weeks then you go back for the porcelain/permanent one. Anyhow, they give you a multitude of deadening shots for the area that they are working on. After I left the dentist office I was in the drive-up lanes at the bank and I took a sip of a drink I had and OF COURSE with my dead half lip, half tongue I drooled. As I was wiping my drool off and soooo hoping nobody had noticed I looked to my right and a woman in the next lane was staring at me!!! It's one of those moments where you want to roll down the window and yell "Dental work, I just had dental work, not a stroke!!!". But I just wiped off the drool and swallowed my pride.

Ceiling Fan

Laying on the floor looking up at the ceiling fan kind of intrigued me so I took a picture. The knob that says CENTURY on the end of the pullchain is from some old appliance but I loved it so much I asked my husband to attach it to the chain. I really love old knobs (and yes, I had a smile on my face while writing that).
