No surgery as of yet. We will be doing two cycles of chemo first to shrink the tumor. The surgery is tentatively scheduled for mid July to remove the tumor and the fistula.

I wanted to give you all the update on what the biopsy revealed.  It is colon cancer and it has spread to his liver.  We go tomorrow to see the surgeon and he will start chemo next week.  I DO NOT look forward to this journey the Lord has us on but I know He will continue to reveal Himself to us  as we go.  We would appreciate it if you all would continue to pray for us and I will keep you all posted as to how it is going, now that Dave has my blog back up and running.

On a different note, I would like to share with you all the experience we had a church yesterday.  Sunday School had just started.  Hubby was teaching when one of our deacons just kinda rolled his head back and seemed to be gone.  Two members jumped up and started talking to him.  He seemed to revive then the same thing happened again.  He was extremely pale and sweating.  We all thought sure the Lord was calling him home.  He is a very healthy, active man so this was a surprise for all of us.  Anyway, the rescue squad came and took him to the hospital.  Today he is still with us and SO much better.  The doctors said it was his blood pressure medicine.  His heart rate was down to 44 when the rescue squad came.  We know it was TOTALLY answered prayer.  God wanted to remind us HE is still in control.  I know it was a hard day on our deacon but I feel like it was a powerful day for our church.  Amazing, that is what our God is!!

I hope you all have a wonderful day and God bless.

Wow, I can’t believe how long it has been since my last post.  It is hard for me to get computer time right now.  Grace is using my computer as her’s is not working. Things have been moving along here.  We planted some seeds in our little greenhouse the first of the month.  I can’t believe how they have taken off.  I would show you all pictures but for some reason, I am having trouble with loading pictures. We also had our first camping trip this past weekend.  It was my birthday gift from Dave and Jess.  They have purchased us a tent and the things that go with a tent so that hopefully we can do some fun things this year with them.  We had planned on going to Charleston SC but the weather there was too bad.  Instead we went to the NC Zoo and camped at the Zooland Family Campground.  We still ended up coming home one day early because of rain but the campground gave us a rain check for another night.  We will not be doing much today, just resting.  Camping is hard work!! So I think I finally got the picture thing to working.   Dave and Jessica’s camper

Our tent.

Daniel having fun at the playground.

Katie and a new friend she made at the playground.

I hope you all have a great Easter and God bless.

I took these pictures about 2 weeks ago.  Believe it or not, everything is covered with snow here right now.  Our temperature is 15 degrees with a wind chill of zero.  Our winds are about 20-25 mph.  3 inches of snow fell yesterday.   Definitely winter weather.

But I know this won’t last much longer.  Spring is just around the corner.  You can feel the difference in the air.  Well, maybe not today but other days you can feel the difference.

Saturday we went down to Jessica’s.  We planted some onion sets, lettuces and cabbage for her.  That was a lot of fun.  At least, I got to get my hands in the dirt.  Maybe next week, we will work on getting one of our raised beds ready for early crop plants.  I want to plant peas, onions, cabbage, lettuce, radishes, and beets.  Makes my mouth water just thinking about all that fresh food.  I love it!!

Well, that’s about it-not much going on!  Enjoy your day and God bless.

Just a few pictures to show you all what it looks like here in Floyd.

As I said yesterday, first we had snow then sleet.

Everything is completely covered.

For the first time since I started taking bread to R G Cattle, I think today is just too bad for me to get out to deliver it.

I guess we’ll just do school and have a cozy day snuggled in.  I hope you all have a great day and God bless.

I took these pictures of Katie a little while back when we were down there visiting.  Ain’t she just the cutest thing?

Do you see her painters tape bracelet?  That girl is all into her some fashion!!

Today we have snow, then sleet on top of the snow.  We were looking forward to going to the Horns today but we have had to postpone because of the weather.  You would think by the middle of March bad weather wouldn’t be an issue but the Lord knows what He is doing.

School  is going along nicely.  We finished language and have started literature in its place. The girls are kinda excited about that.  I think we needed a break from grammar.

I hope you all have a great day and God bless.

Hello everyone!  Guess what??  Come on, guess!  Yes, we are finally free.   Thanks so much to the ones who worked so hard to clear our road.  I didn’t even know Floyd had a snow blower but this guy came thru on Saturday and then again on Sunday.  At that point, the road was still pretty rough.  Last night about midnight, the road grater came through. He kept trying to get up the hill but couldn’t make it all the way.  No one lives up above us anyway so it’s not a big issue.

This picture was taken at the top of the driveway.  See the road is clear, well, maybe not clear but passable.

Hubby took us down to the milk barn to get milk.  It’s amazing how much you miss having milk.  Today made 7 days since we had been out!  Well six days for me as I took the bread to R G Cattle on Tuesday of last week.  I don’t know if just going down to the milk barn really counts as getting out but it sure did feel good.

Hubby took this picture the other morning as the moon was going down over the hill.  I thought it was very pretty.

Time for school to start for us.  I hope you have a great day and God bless.
