An Award And General Chat

Photobucket

I logged on today to find I had been given an award.

The lovely Regina of A PAGE UNTURNED has given me the award which was originally given to her by Cindi. I am very pleased to receive it. I do not know anyone I can pass it on to because Regina has named most of the people that I know that have been affected. If this applies to you or anyone that you know then please snag it.

Here it is

Of course I still have a long way to go. I am only too aware that here we are in March and in May I am due for a mammogram again and a visit with my oncologist. Also a bone density scan. I am already getting nervous about it, time flies so fast and it will soon be here. I only hope I get the good news again that I received last year and that will be my second year all-clear. I trust in God and hope for the best possible outcome.

Spring must be in the air. Yesterday I looked at the net curtains in the kitchen and decided it was time they had a bath. I hand-washed them. What a difference. So I decided that today, the rest of the nets would get a similar treatment. Too many to do by hand so I have them in the machine on the coolest setting. The sun is shining right now and in a few minutes they will be hung outside and will be dry in no time.

It is nice to know that the clocks will change this month and we will get the lighter evenings back. There is a lot that needs to be done in the garden, the grass has never been so high but the ground is like a bog after all the snow and rain so we cannot even attempt to cut it.

We do have Daffodils blooming at the front - a sure sign that Spring is not far away.

I still have a cough from this bug, not as bad as it was but so annoying. I have been told it can last for weeks!

Well, the curtains are done. Time to see to them and then eat lunch. I hope you have all been having a good week, dear friends and readers.

  2. How lovely it sounds to be hanging something outside to dry and have grass growing and daffodils. You are ahead of us with your weather. The grass is brownish here, not growing at all. It will be nice to see it green up. Hope that cough goes away soon.

  3. I pray that you get all clear results in May. Ken got out and cut a few rounds of grass yesterday but the ground is still soggy in places.It's supposed to start tomorrow being in the 70ºs for a few days. I will welcome that warmer weather. Hugs, Helen

  15. Always nice to hear from you and a beautiful photo of flowers in bloom. All we can all hope for as we get older that the news is good when we got to the doctor for a checkup. Hoping the same for you. And spring is now on the way, so we can all perk up at that! Especially those in cold climes. Summer is our worst season in Phoenix Arizona! Gerry

    Congrads on the award-it couldn't be given to a nicer person than you :) I'm praying real hard that your follow-up MAMMO is going to come back NEG!! :)
    Spring has so sprung here in Las Vegas. We've been in the mid to high 70's for weeks now. Time for shorts already!
    Take care and hope your cough goes away soon.
    Huggers, Gayla
    PS: I have a ton of Breast Cancer related graphics-if you would like some let me know :)

  22. Girl you are way ahead of me on spring cleaning! Way to go on getting those curtains washed! If I can get my eight yr old daughter's bedroom in tip top shape and all cleaned out and downsize toys and everything that sticks to this dear child I will be gloriously happy with my spring progress.
    Hugs,

  23. Congratulations on the award dear friend! I'm so looking forward to Spring. Strangely it was warm enough yesterday to open a few windows and get some fresh air in the house. Today it's a bit too chilly for that. (Hugs)Indigo
