My leukemia's back.

[Suzie]

I woke up this morning to 11 frantic text messages...it seems a friend of mine..Matt Bauer is in the hospital fighting for his life.
I met him a long time ago salmon fishing. He lives in the Twin Cites and travels here once a year to salmon fish.
We are both cancer survivors...I knew he's had issues again recently. But he was supposed to come back up fishing last month and cancelled because of money issues.
now it's seems we might never get that last trip in.I'm having a hard time with all these tears today.
I know he was trying to fight cancer this time the"natural" way.
He was always sending me articles about this food and that and the healing powers they possessed.
I just hope he can win this fight. He just said the cancer had spread to his abdomen and he was septic with an infection. He's going to try and get stabilized so he could go to Nevada for a second opinion.....A Lost friend....Phil

We are with you and Matt....love and prayers for you both...

Late getting here today - went to a field trial - probably the last one for this year. I am not sure whether I am happy or sad.

The close of a season is always a bit poignant.

How'd it go?

I still haven't heard from Matt....I fear the worst...I wasn't around all day today. No where near a cell signal. I really need to call his wife...I really really dread that call.

Good morning!

Phil, go ahead and call today. Find out what's going on, that might put your mind at ease.

Happy anniversary LG!

Time to go take care of the critters and DH is off to work. Time for me to get busy, you all have a good morning!

Back at ya, Phil! Have a wonderful blessed day with the Missus. Dreaded call, but you'll feel better after you make it.

I am almost ready for it to be over. Dogs had a pretty good season 9 wins and a bunch of ribbons between the lot of them. One dog achieved her championship and two are down to needing a few points.

Went out with a sort of a whimper - got two thirds. Said good bye and wished a good Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas to all. Hopefully all make it to spring.

You make light of it but I know how hard those wins can be to finish up! So congrats, whether you like it or not!

Happy anniversary LG!

Today is always a little bittersweet for me. Austin would have been 26 years old today. Most days the accident and his death seems like forever ago, and I think of him with smiles and the occasional giggle. But today it seems like it all happened yesterday and it hurts brand new. Well, the sun still comes up and the birdies still sing - life goes on. It just goes on with a slight hitch in its getalong.

We had a great time in Sheridan despite my trepidation about the "dress code". As usual some didn't get the memo - several ladies in long gowns and heels. <shudder> Me, I have a black pair of comfy trousers and a black blazer. Paired that with a white shirt and wore my bright red "York Rite Sweetheart of the Year" pin on the lapel and it was just the perfect blend of comfortable and dressy. So I just relaxed and enjoyed the evening. Ken got us a room because we knew the event wouldn't be over until late. Driving over the mountains in summer is one thing - driving over them in the winter (or close enough to winter) at night isn't something we like to do anymore.

We got home yesterday afternoon and after changing into our ratty duds we went out and tackled getting the plastic on the run. Done! yayy! Not a moment too soon. Got a cold front coming through this morning and temps are supposed to get down into the twenties for the high, with some snow flurries. But come on, Winter! I'm as ready for ya as I can be at this point!

Happy anniversary, LG.
