Blog has been down

I got some nice comments about my last posting. I would have put something on sooner, but the blog was off line for some reason until now. They mainly came from people in the same "club" as it is. I guess when you find out you have something like cancer, you can either run and hide or get the facts and choose a course of action. Although I chose the conventional way to start, I feel the alternative way is the way for me to finish. Just me, just my decision.

Anyways, it was a good weekend with my 56th birthday on Saturday. I know, I look 65, but I really am not inverting the numbers, honestly. The kids took me to Red Robin and then to Dairy King for a chocolate cone dipped in cherry. Patti and my favorite ice cream (except for German Chocolate Cake Ice Cream from Hershey's). I got a card from Ron, Heather, Caleb and Micah that looked like star wars on the front and played the theme when you opened it up. I will not tell you what the card said, you can refer to the 65 above and get the hint. Steve and I worked at the property with Tyler and Josh cutting down a few trees where the pole building will go. It was a fun day and hard work. The boys like to play like they are working too and run around all over the property. We took a few four wheel rides around the yard. Josh want to push the gas so I have to watch as sometimes when I let off the gas we speed up thanks to Josh.

Monday after work Steve and I continued to cut up the trees we had dropped Saturday. I pulled off the poison ivy wherever it was since I do not get it and everyone else does. Patti loaded up the red F350 with logs for the fire for next year, after is drys. Now I will have to unload it tomorrow at the office as that is where we will keep it until it is ready. To leave it on the property would mean it will probably disappear sometime this winter. People are gathering up wood all over the place to help offset the rise in gas prices this coming winter. It was hard work and we were all soaked to the bone. I really enjoy working like that.

Continue to pray for me as I build up my body thru the supplement and healthy eating. I do not even miss things like sweets. Never really liked them before the cancer. Pray for Pastor Quick and Debbie dealing with their cancers. Continue to pray for Ted Kennedy. I would not wish what he is going thru on my worst enemy.
