So much chaos the last few years! Losing my hubby of almost 61 years was bad enough, and it just seems to keep going. First, the a/c went out, then I accidentally bumped my eye, which caused a ruptured cornea (still in treatment for that), a hard rain revealed a leaky roof, then a stopped up toilet. All repairs have been made, and, except for the eye, things were were as good as they can be without him, then I got news a new cancer has popped up on the opposite side from the first one 4 years ago, which is still in remission. The new one is tiny, and will only require 5 specialized radiation treatments over a period of 2 weeks. You know what? I still consider myself one lucky lady. I'm so much better off than so many people, and I've been blessed with the greatest family ever! I'll beat this again! I'm 81. So many people don't get that much time. Still hope to get back to Branson before too long if/when this virus goes away.
Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone!

hey Engel good to see a long time poster checking in, love the attitude with everything going on you still consider yourself lucky, but here's hoping the coming year is a better one for you and good things fall your way.

Good to hear from you engel. Wow, you have had quite the year. I'm so amazed at how many years you were married. That is spectacular, and I'm sure you miss him so much! I'll add you to my prayer list and pray that the radiation gets that spot and disintegrates it to nothing! Many prayers that 2021 will be a much better year for you.
