| Our trip to Toys r Us was so fun. We found some needed items for safety , she ended up with this hat she wore the whole time, and best of all: a crazy deal on organic baby food.. Oh and a braves ball :) It got a lot of "why is she wearing a mask?" looks from kids, so I just took my hat off and let them see that I was bald too. |
I know you have heard me say this, but this chemo thing is real. If I'm every just looking at you blankly and there are other back ground noises, you have probably lost me. Also, if I ever say " I'm out of words" I just cant talk anymore, period. My general math skills and memorization skills have suffered but somehow I still remember a lot of phone numbers. Audible learning for me right now is not happening. Poor Jonathan gets frustrated with me somethings, with something that is so simple and I just can't process the info, I have to see and do it, which has always been the best way for me anyway. So I say that to say... the pics or events may not have happened on the day that I remember. I thought that Wed was Tues all day this week. I find myself saying "I don't know" a lot lately, which is very strange to me, because then I would have to find out.... I don't care to know everything the way I did before. I just trying to remember what I'm doing now.

| We like to have a lot of fun around the farm. We briefly went to a luncheon for Mr. Frank's birthday. I didn't get to eat due to the crowd and had to keep my mask on for the whole time, but I took some food home. I did decide that my present to Mr. Frank was a song... since I'm just getting my voice back. I put on my Marilyn wig and sang him the sexy slow "Happy Birthday" that she sang to JFK. I didn't even have to pretend I was on a lot of medication. Everyone thought it was great, wish I would have got a video. |

| This girl likes to be upside down so that is why everyone is smiling in the pic. Then I went home and took a nap. |
Some good changes in my life over the last week is that I've been getting up and hour earlier than Evalyn, having devotion and then exercising or doing something else like getting all my med stuff ready for the morning. I have always found it hard to find time to do a "quiet time". I'm reading a great little devotional that Mirka gave me called "Come away with me, Beloved" by Frances J. Roberts. I like it because it is short but deep and then I read more verses and make notes. One of the quotes that a really touched me this week was "Rest in me, I shall bring to pass My perfect will in your life, as you believe and live in faith." WOW. This chemo brain is good for one reason, things I knew about bible history and verses I knew a lot are gone, so I can't walk around anymore thinking "I already know that." It has been a joy to rediscover the love of the Lord and delight in reading his word. Now what is funny is trying to memorize some short verses. I feel like Barney Fife when he is always trying to repeat things that Andy says but never gets it right. Ha ha
Another positive, I actually put this on facebook, that since I will have sensitive skin for the rest of my life and can only use a few different things, no one can get me bath and lotion stuff for presents. Not that I hated them before, they just always seemed to pile up. I've never been a big take-a-shower-every-day girl, maybe everyone thought I stunk. Big hats, sunglasses, parasols, pretty gloves, etc will all just be me.... sounds fun. Now to find some vintage summer gloves to wear with a dress.......speaking of.... I finally used my gift card to pinupgirlclothing and got the best dress for the big party on the July 16... boy, I've got to get on sending out those invitations. I also got a some crab earrings. This was a Christmas present from my mom that I had to end up sending back. It was so much trouble to use my store credit I got free overnight shipping. Yea... I'm done with the internet shopping, I'm about to sell five things on craiglist and ebay, even for other people. Any one need an organ?

| We got remission to go out to eat during a non busy time. We are all trying to put more clothes on and less PJ's on around here. |
 |
| We went to Casa Mia, one of our favorite places. She ate of a plate like a big girl and had Cevehie, avocados, and pretty much what every we ate. She was such a big girl an was smiling at everyone. In face, she looked disappointment if each person didn't stop at the table and admire that she didn't have a sleep and play on and had such good table manners. |
 |
| We had a great time, first time out as a family in forever. |
