 DON'T REGRET THE PAST - - -  JUST LEARN FROM IT.

Um . . .  sorry I'm a tad late in wishing you well for the new year.  Whatever.

Hope all is well with y'all.  Not much happening here, which, in the big scheme of things, is a good thing. 

2016 has really spanked us with colddddd weather which makes it uncomfortable, but we are
OVERCOMERS, remember?


I have been having a good time working on my favorite pass time, which is writing kids' stories.  I got
500 PAIRS OF GREEN PANTS and SHOES-DAY TUESDAY finally finished.  I have found that I like to give my work really strange titles (or rather, they seem to name themselves).  Whatever.

Hey, went to the oncologist last Wednesday, and things are going swell.  No, problems, nothing looking worrisome or out of the ordinary, so it is all good. 

We are almost to the finish line concerning our bridge business.  Yup, we are closing the doors and officially retiring. Hubby's dad built airfield landing strips in Australia during WWII and that's how he learned to run big equipment.  When he came home, he began buying different machines and started the business.  It's been a good life . . . an interesting life.  But I will be so glad to not have to do the bookwork or make reports and such, ever again.


Jenna and I got to go to The Giving Tree Theater again.  The play "Wit" was amazing.  A professor who had dedicated her career to teaching the works of John Dunne, the poet, was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and was in the last stage of her life.  It was really powerful with an incredibly touching final scene. I can't wait until the upcoming "Steel Magnolias" is performed later this year at that theater. Jenna and I have watched that movie together several times and we like to quote from it. ie:  'I love ya more than my luggage!'  or 'You are a sick ticket!'.

My daughter has also often referred to my hairdo as 'a white football helmet' (in the movie, Shelby's description of her mother's hair was a brown football helmet).   Whatever.

NOTE:  Special condolences to my dear sis-in-law, Jill, on the passing of her wonderful mother, May.
              Also, a big HEY to bro-in-law Ray-Ray who came through knee replacement surgery like a        
              champ!

               Keep warm and keep busy.  Talk to ya later.

                                                           GOD BLESS YOU ALL

    Janene...

    ... was diagnosed with breast cancer on November 11, 2013. This is a place for all of the people who love and care about her to get the information about her treatment and her personal experience of kicking cancer's ass, (sometimes from her daughter's perspective). It's hard to stand by and not be able to do anything to help. Writing gives my mom an outlet and allows both of us to share information during this time. Therefore, we blog :)
