Her name is Sheree.Hawkeye,
I'll be praying for your friend-- her first name please if you don't mind. Anyway I will be praying each day for her. Such a hard thing for her to go through. Kare
WOW! What don't you have?!? LOL!! That would be awesome!! We have a large portable air compressor on wheels, it's nice for a lot of thing. We used it when we put in our hard wood floor and my DH used it when he was putting up my horse barn.I bought a framing nailer, then had to have a pneumatic stapler, then finish nailer, then roofing nailer, then metal shear etc etc etc. We have 2 big air compressors and 2 compact ones. That way we have one in the barn and one in the house permanently. But have the two portable ones to move where ever we are working outside. Theres been several times we've used two at once so we didn't have to switch tools when we were building something.
Oh yeah, that's an amazing man!He didn't exactly pick up the staples I wanted, but he came home with an electric staple gun and staples. I love that thing, and him, too!
I am really glad she's going to Mayo, I think she has the best shot there. I'm glad you've heard such great things about them. You and Danz have fun!!Hawkeye- I am so sorry about your friend. I am sure they will take fabulous care of her at Mayo and she will just be surrounded by wonderful people there. I know several people that have gone to Mayo for various types of cancer and they were all thrilled with the doctors and nurses and staff. I am sorry about crack! Such a bummer, I was crossing my fingers for you on that one!
Well, I have got to get this place ready to go! Danz is coming to test by birds today, hope it goes well and isn't a three ring circus of chasing chickens! Wish I had kids on days like this...need to borrow Karens kiddos to wrangle these wild birds!
I appreciate that. I hope your nephew will move into town, he could walk or ride a bike to work, then. Especially with his track record and his car.Hawkeye, awww.... I was sure hoping Crack would make it. I'm glad you have so many others that are doing well. I'll keep your friend in my thoughts today.
My nephew's back for an undetermined amount of time.
On the plus side, when they went to Lehigh last night to see about his car, DH came home with a grill and smoker. His grill has been falling apart slowly but surely and he spent part of yesterday looking for Weber grills on Craig's List. He specifically wanted a Weber because everyone he knows who has one has had it forever, while the people with the cheaper ones end up replacing them every few years. He found one for a great price and it happened to be just where he was going to be last night. The grill is only about 2 years and pretty much half the price of a new one, and the guy threw in his smoker. DH's smoker is still working, but beginning to rust out at the bottom. So at least HE came home happy. I'm going to make some banana bread to cheer up my nephew, since he loves banana bread and asked me last time he was here why I didn't make any!

It's okay, sounds like you are stressed and it does help to talk about it.Cher - I share some of those same reasons. At least the food situation is under control by taking them out to eat for most of the major meals, but we have the two dogs and Darwin is still very much a puppy at heart. He wishes he could be a jumper, i'm glad he's too big for that, but he is a mauler of kisses and loves. at 150lbs, not many of my family is crazy about a dog that big wanting to climb in your lap every minute that you are there. My brother always brings his dog, who doesn't get along with any other dogs at all - so he winds up leaving her in his truck the entire visit which pisses me off and stresses me out - it's so not fair to the dog at all - especially when it's hot. He does go out and walks her every couple hours and brings her cold drinks, but grrrrr.. I've argued with him about this so much I just can't do it anymore. LOL.. Also having to deal with my parents (who have been divorced for 25 years) bitching about why the other is there, when it's a mutual grandchild.. so childish. Didn't mean to unload on everyone. Yes. I'm a bit stressed out and can't wait for this all to be over(As much as I love my family.... a little love goes a long way.. lol)
