It has taken long enough, but we are going to have two beautiful weekend days.
I have an MRI scheduled tomorrow at lunch, but when we get home….time for yard work.
The lawnmower is ready to go, the weed eater has fresh string, and I have weeds to pull. There are also a few pine trees popping up in strange places. Time to get rid of those.
I need to mulch a few places. I may even be able to get my nephew to help.
My lilies are popping their pretty heads out getting ready to bloom. The irises are right behind them.
My gerber daisy has come out again, getting ready to bloom.
I need to trim the lantana so that it can come out with fresh branches. Last year, it grew past the top of the porch. Beautiful!
I need to clean up the bird feeders. The knock out roses are gorgeous. Already have new leaves out.
So much to do. I know we need the remain, but I also need time to cut the grass before my house disappears into it. Getting a wee-bit tall out there.
I also need to fertilize my Corkscrew Willow Trees and gardenias. The shrubs are incredible. Huge and constantly flowering. Hard to tell when to prune them.
As you can tell, we have a lot to do. Have a great weekend everyone!
Raising your parents is amazingly delightful!

Happy Easter, one and all!
What activity, task, or game most brings out your competitive streak?
Board Games drive me insane. It doesn’t matter which one of them it is,I get angry thinking about them. Just the thought of pulling a board game out gives my competitive hormone the kick in the hiney it cannot stand.. Maybe it is the fact that I stink at every board game I have ever tried to play. Or it could be the no good braggers that I play with. Who knows? I’ll just continue to avoid them like the plague.
The only violence I have ever exhibited when playing, was with my ex-husband. He loved to play chess. I know how, but I stink. In one of his rare forms, when he was wiping the board with me, he went too far. I picked the board up and threw it at him. Needless to say, we never played again.
I’ve played Gin Rummy and Scrabble, with Barry, no problems. I do not think we’ll ever play chess.
I should take a shopping trip!!
Dr. M, my now urologist, seems like a very good doctor with a great personality/bedside manner. My appointment today went great. The kidney ultrasound is good, with one little issue to follow. Otherwise Dr. M. says my kidney’s are beautiful. Awwww, how sweet. They better be! About the only organ I have left that functions correctly.
What gets me about Cowdens Syndrome is the unknown. Today, I’m told I actually have an organ that is functioning properly, but we need to watch this “one” little spot. We want to make sure it isn’t something forming that shouldn’t be where it is. So, my roller coaster of doctors continues.
On top of the little spot that needs watching on the right kidney. It appears there is an incidental finding on my liver. He would like to schedule an MRI, to get a better look. So, more tests, more waiting and more unknowns.
I feel like I am fussing about what is going on in my body. I truly believe that Jesus died to save us from our sins. I believe that the Good Lord has a plan for us and we shouldn’t question that plan. My life is in his hands and I am not exactly how to hand my troubles over to the Lord and not worry.
After my appointment today, I wasn’t what I would call questioning things, but I was so frustrated with the news that it brought me to tears. When I got to a private place, I asked the Lord for the grace and strength I need to make it through all of this news. My fears eased.
It is just so incredibly hard to deal with all of this. Today, I felt like the robot from “Lost in Space“.Turning in circles, arms flopping, thinking, “fix me Will Robinson, fix me!” If it were only that easy.
It appears that someone has seen fit to give Barry and I a reprieve from running around like chickens with their heads cut off. We have managed to carry out a few things around the house. Feels good.
Mom experienced a health issue and has been in the hospital all week. She is OK, but had to be admitted for a while.
The rat race begins again Monday morning with an MRI of my chest, leading to an evaluation later that day by a urologist.
I’m filling out the paperwork for the Cowden Syndrome Study and working on arranging a date for my family to get their trusting done. Mom being admitted through a loop in those plans.
My brother-in-law lost his mother, taking them out-of-town for a week. She had been sick for a while and the Good Lord called her home. She is no longer in pain and she is in a better place. I haven’t lost a parent yet, but helped Barry when he lost his mom. All around a difficult situation. Our prayers and concerns go out to Dennis and his family. We love them each and everyone, dearly.
So after several bumps in the road, maybe we can get the scheduling done for testing. I do not to mean to seem like I’m making light of their loss, I’m not. Under normal circumstances, I would have been in Idaho with them.
Join me for a baby shower!!
