Goooodmorning!!!

Good Evening;
Great going Ted. Exciting news. Like to hear it that way.

Yup - managed to catch colds as well as some great skiing. 130 inches of base and new snow every day. Left early under duress (partly). Forecast was for 3 days of snow with totals near 3 feet. Powder Pig heaven. Unfortunately they were predicting sustained 30 mph wind with 45 mph gusts. Not hard core enough to endure that.

So back in our winter home to rest and recover.

Have a great evening.

Good Morning Everyone! Coffee is so good today!

Great news Ted! Enjoy the break, praying it will be a long one! Yes, the beach, we have some nice one's over here! You and Kathleen come on over and Jira and I will join you!

I went to the Cancer Hospital here in Lampang to give blood to the vampire nurses for a PSA # in prep for my next hormone therapy shot, and the guy that took the blood used a huge needle! I was not paying attention and when he stuck me, I thought, What the hell, turned to him, looked at the size of the needle, and ask if he got a deal from the elephant camp down the road! Last time doing that there for sure!

Welcome back to Yuma Janet and Gordon! Glad the trip was a good one!

Bobby, it will be good to meet you and Sally in Maine!

Harvey, your reputation proceeds you, even at Tractor Supply!

Ron, when you see a very nice, well cared for MH, that is just what you have been looking for, you better jump on it quickly, because they go fast! When I saw it, the ad was already a few days old, so, it could have already been sold! Sorry, I missed a few when I was looking too! When it is meant to be, things fall into place!

Everyone have a great day! Rail!

So happy for the good health report. I feel great and am 100% after my hospital visit. Dr. wants me to have a colonoscopy. The DR. that did the last one wants to see me in his office. I;m convinced it is a money grab. What is he going to tell me that I don't already know? A different of surgeons took care of me in the hospital. I'm not due for a colonoscopy until 2020. My health ins. pays me $50.00 to do my colonoscopy. Staying home until Friday when the temp will be 30* heat wave. Presently 14* Take care all Ann

Hot coffee has been poured into cup this morning. Michigan weather still sucks. High today will be 27°. Tomorrow will be first day with above freezing temperatures. Then forecast shows above freezing temperatures for next week. Winter may be over.

Ted, good news. You need some beach time.

Rail, I went thru the hormone therapy. Except I was on testosterone injection. I was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer. Dr. took me off the injections. PSA dropped to .14 last blood draw. MIR showed no Cancer. Problem now is my testosterone is at 21. I have all the side effects of low testosterone. Hope they are going to put me back on something for some relief. Best wishes and prayers for your treatment to work for you.

Ann, hope you are feeling better and cat has settled into its new home.

Good Morning All.

Good morning all! Thanks for all the positive responses!

Well, things change... my Oncologist liked the progress so much for cycle 5, that he is going to keep me on the chemotherapy for now.

He is scheduling me to come in on the 26th for cycle 7. I will also get labs then to see what the progress will be for cycle 6.

I guess the beach trip will need to be delayed for the time being....

It is still good news that the chemo is still working well. Ya, no break now, but if the chemo brings my numbers down to pre-metastatic levels with the next few treatments, we can celebrate even more then.

Keep enjoying what life has to offer with happiness and joy in your hearts!

Hope and joy can wear the same hat, often do.

When we hear the M word we think of you and all of the positivity that you have provided. We share that with others because they need it.

Thanks again.

Good Morning,

So, we went to find a gift for our SIL at a golf course and saw this rig. Was sure interesting. Loved the inside of the driver's compartment. It had storage boxes under the sleeper part. Sure looked like a solid set up.
1950 Chevy Railroad Express Camper.


Also have been working on my decals on Miss May. Thought she might need a bit of a change in color so added some poppy red.

Glad to hear good news Ted. And Rail, watch out for the vampires.

Bobby, sure looking forward to seeing you and Sally at the M&G in Maine. Popeye will be there and I think we are going to have a blast.

Saw Gordon and Janet for a little this afternoon when they stepped out,,, she sounds better than he. They went back to their couch!!!

Lynne has been very busy on their coach decals. The new colors look great. I really like the Honda Red!!!!! :-)

Rail,,,,, Elephant needle!!!! Yikes! How much blood did they take! Are you a quart low?

Potluck this evening, it was salad night. Macaroni salad, tossed salad, tuna salad etc etc etc... It was good!

Bobby, August and Maine will be here before we know it.

Good night all!

Ann, glad you are back to feeling good! Hope the cat's learn to get along!

Ron j, glad yours was not cancer! Maybe the blue pill will help!

Hope everyone has a early spring! Rail!

Hi all.

I decided that with all the encouraging words, I’d go ahead and make reservations for the beach anyway. We are going for a week to Myrtle Beach State Park in SC the week of April 6th through April 13th.

It will be the last week of Cycle 7, and the week before Cycle 8. That should be when I am feeling the best during Cycle 7. Yes, it may be a small risk, but will give me a sense of living life with hope and joy in my heart. Going to kick back for the week and take in as much as I can.

We will only be 3 hrs from home, but it will feel like another planet after being stuck at home all winter.

Enjoying life!

Ted & Kathleen

Coffee is tasting extra special this morning. 8° with clear skies. Heading to 37° with mostly sunny skies. Michigan weather is going to suck just a little less today.

Harvey, like the video.

Lynne, paint job looks great.

Ted, good plan going to Myrtle beach.

Rail, I had a positive Biopsy in March last year. Just showing that the Hormone pills do work. A friend is going thru same procedure also. Getting good test back. Little blue pills.

Good Morning All.
