Last week (...and weekend...and up until about an hour ago...) kind of a roller-coaster.
But all is well now.
The Weekend was great...with Sisters Day and BBQ ribs and beans, mustard potato salad, Cantaloupe straight from Tina's garden...peach cobbler and later
Every bit as decadent as it sounds! Like rich cold chocolate with a kick!
(...we had about 4 ounces left...and I'm pouring it into a stem glass...adding a little ice cream and whipped topping...and taking it to the tub for my bubble bath...)
Tina brought me eggs and fresh sweet corn from the garden!
And we enjoyed Sister Time and chat....laughter and catching up.
Sunday was pizza and pop with most of The Grands!
Emma, Kayleb, Hannah and Aiden.
Two Sophomores...One Junior and a third grader, now.
They grow up so fast.
The older ones sharing visions of becoming a nurse, graphic designer, physiologist...
and Grandma Rose Time.
The end of last week...and the beginning of this fairly stressful.
John's biopsy coming back malignant...although non-small cell...which is good.
Hannah's biopsy on her neck lymph nodes coming back malignant...and immediate surgery yesterday which she tolerated well. Will be talking to her when she has recovered more.
John's PET Scan today at ohmigod it is early...we talked before it started...and getting the results back an hour ago...no further cancer found anywhere else in his body...the MRI of his brain scheduled for next week...but we are expecting that to be clear as well...celebrating at Almost Home before the week is out.
Such good news.
He is back to biking, now that the heat has passed!
Usually taking me along through photographs on his 8 to 11 mile rides.
His MRI and follow-up...then the treatment plans made for the mass in his lung.
We are taking it all day by day.
And then there is The News.
Unless you have been locked away in a closet for more than a week...you know that a search warrant was executed by the FBI...resulting in Espionage charges against our former orange leader. Among other classified documents he had some nuclear top secret information.
Now I don't have a crystal ball...but I think he (...and by extension...the GOP...) are greatly and truly fucked.
We will see.
Already there seems to be a great flurry of rats leaping off the deck of the sinking Trumptanic.
The latest being Fox New's Laura Ingraham.
...who saw THAT coming???
Waiting patiently
"Et tu, Tucker?"
Want to close this on a happy (bear) note.
Otis seems to have found a yearling to mentor in all the salmon-fishing ways...he is very tolerant of the young bear and occasionally even flips him the remains of a salmon he has caught.
Love,
Carla
"G'way...I'm napping."
