Labor Day

 We had a quiet day, not much labor involved.  Far Guy did some woodcarving.  We discussed our plans for the wood carved Christmas ornament and have revised our plan.  There was simply not enough outside woodcarving days to accomplish Far Guy's original design.  However he will have all Winter to finish them up for next year.  So we are going forward with a different design....one we think we can accomplish. 

I finished up my card project and emptied out that container and then immediately filled it with "stuff" to do Christmas Cards with.  I think I have decided on a design...maybe. 

We are getting our ducks in a row...maybe. 

 

Minnesota weather: High 78F or 26C  Low was 58F or 15C.  I heard the s word for Northernmost Minnesota. 

Supper was Hobo dinner (Hamburger, potato, carrots baked and then covered with cheese) :)

Cards

 Last Spring I made up a box of photo and watercolor cards fronts that needed to be squared up and matted.  They will eventually be cards.  I like playing with paper.  

I played with them half the afternoon until Far Guy said lets go get some food.  I think he was hungry!  It was a nice day to sit outside on the patio at our favorite Sunday lupper place. 

So we had a quiet day, great lupper and a really nice nap.  My other baby brother and she who sees robins first stopped by to visit, my baby brother and his bride stopped by when I was doing my PT exercises so I missed saying Hi to them. The newest PT exercise has me hurting a bit more than usual.  Hopefully after a few more days it will get better.  It is doing Clamshells with a resistance band. 

Minnesota Weather: High 78 F or 26C  Low was 54F or 13C eh! 

Happy first day of September!

Long Weekend

 When we were working people we used to look forward to long weekends...as retirees every day is just about the same.  Sometimes we even lose track of what day it really is!

Lots of traffic on the roads...people going here and there with campers and boats. 

We ventured out to meet one of the new puppies in the neighborhood.  His name is Hutch and he is pretty cute with sharp teeth! He is a Jack Russell Terrier.   I did not take my camera or my phone. 

We had walleye (thank you Mike and Susie!!) and corn for supper!  It was delicious!! 

Minnesota weather: High was 80F or 27C Low was 53F or 12C eh!  Nice day to sit outside visiting.  A few more days of nice weather and then we will really cool off.  So much for August!

Long Week

 We ended our week with Far Guys infusion and my PT appointment.  The therapist says he noticed improvement so I must have done something right! 

I may stay in my jammies all day on Saturday!  Next week we do not have five medical appointments..only two possibly three. 

I got to see the Great Grandchildren on Wednesday evening.

Baby K is growing and they say she smiles!  I got to hold her and save her from Peach...who doesn't yet understand what gentle means.  (Think eyes, nose and mouth a favorite game I play with her.)

Hey Mikey, Peach and Cee Cee

The big kids started school.  Hey Mikey is in Grade 3 and Cee Cee is in Kindergarten.

 

Here they are on the first day of school...all smiles!

Waiting

 I waited for Far Guy to have his Pet Scan.  They have these cool cubbies/pods/whatchamacallits with outlets and a charging port.  The Pet Scan took over two hours.  I read my book.  There were several different waiting areas and I was all alone in the area I chose. 

They have a robotic floor scrubber that was having troubles staying on course.  Finally someone showed up with a phone and moved it out of the area. 

Anyways...Far Guy had his Pet scan and blood work. 

We saw the Oncologist yesterday for the report.  Great news on the breast cancer...it is under control and almost gone comparing the June Pet scan to the August scan!!  The Doctors says he considers it a Stage Three now not a Stage Four...good news!!  

We are awaiting an appointment for a biopsy of Far Guy's Thyroid.  It has nothing in common with the breast cancer....so it is NOT a metastasis as the Dr originally thought.  It is something else...and the biopsy will tell the story.  So we wait for an appointment and then after that we wait for about two weeks for the biopsy results.  Then the Dr and Far Guy can decide what the next plan will be. 

We are very thankful for the good news and thankful for everyone that has been praying for Far Guy!
