Good to hear your son is going to be fine Sissy, you probally need a big hug and lots of rest after all that stress. I'd like to give you a big hug and a warm mug of fresh coffee and we could sit in my homemade greenhouse and soak up some sun. Johns going to be fine, the swelling in his mouth will go down and then he will be able to swallow again, then they will send him home. He will have to have radiation after he gets better, so that the cancer does not ever come back, then we can live happy together at home, where the puppies can run by the bubbly pond and bark nice at the deer in the front yard, where the sun always shines, there is tall green grass and pretty flowers, a winter never comes...... :)

A wonderful mental attitude truly is great medicine.

I have strange but silly sayings and habits that keep me emotionally strong as I deal with not only my physical maladies yet also my PTSD and the overall impact on dear wifey and family. Yours truly is a long way from being a perfect person bu so what. Hope you lot understand and do not be taken aback by my openness. It is hilarious to be strange (in a good way). I called it "delightfully esscentric". Blows some people's minds. After being so regimented in my 20 military career and corporate level work I can finally let go, breath freely because there is no regulation, no boss, no client I have to please. For example, when warm weather starts I wear short pants and very colorful t-shirts every day (except of course when occasions require otherwise). When cool weather arrives I wear sweat pants and long sleeve colorful t-shirts. I have turned my life into a happy place because I know I will encounter the highs and lows of my lot in life. Wait until you see my abstract art. I write short stories and poems. The poet e.e. commings has greatly influenced my artistic side. On a conference trip to Maryland years ago I sought out the hotel favored by Edgar Allen Poe. I even got to sleep in the room he occupied. Even though I'm just me I want to be who I want to be.

Right now Cathy and I face a difficult challenge because of her pending unemployment. To deal with this latest ordeal I've created "Team Patrick".. Dear wifey hates the ordeal of job hunting so I shall do what I can to make it easier. Life can certainly be a bitch sometimes but there is no escaping. I just wish I could be so positive all the time because between you and me I have plenty of dark times and certainly am not the easiest husband to deal with. Wifey and I make a great time just like so many other married couples. I say this with all sincerity "we are truly blessed each and every day by our Lord".

In closing "their coming to take me away ha ha" but they just can't catch me! :))))

Ok today we had some sun in the afternoon.........it's one last horrah before the rain that's coming onto us tonight. Got lots of wood cutting in but still have more to do up the road. These were taken back on Oct. 5th and we've done a lot more since these:
Our first little pile:

Lots of branches to mulch:

John's coming home Saturday, that's what he tells me anyway, starting to think he's enjoying the young nurses or something! Ha ha! It's supposed to be nice now for the next two or three days, daytime highs should be in the sixty's and no more of this white wet snow for a while.... hopefully! :)

PS... sometimes the funny farm is a nice place to be, no stress... I imagine it's better than some of the alternative's! :) :)

CE I could use some of that hot sun, lucky you! I wish it would get hot here again just one more time, the 80's would be nice, But the sun goes down so fast now, its already dark by 7pm. I swear if I win the lottery I just might have to move!!!

As my brother did before me and brother before him I inherited the daily or so pleasure of going to my grandmothers to hand chop wood for her wood burning oven, stove and fireplace. Being a true country granny she held on to the old ways. Our father had the old home retrofitted to propane gas yet grandmother would have nothing to do with it. LOL. Thankfully she did accept electricity. She also raised chickens and always had a big garden which of course, had to be plowed by mule and experience farm hand.

You knowing that we all lived in a woodland community of less than 300 souls should help understanding her set ways.
