The War on Japanese Beetles,and House fixup

Mandy,burrowed here between Bob's legs....often licking his tummy, his chest and his head...She smells the cancer and stays at his side...see the look in this little creature's eyes....she KNOWs.....

What is it about Spring or a husband with a terminal illness that drives a woman to clean......oh that's right....my income will be slashed by 1/3 if Bob poops out.....so massive removal of all trees and shrubs that have fostered my war against Japanese Beetles for 10 years! I used natural methods, milky spore, ground up beetle carcasses mixed with beer and sprayed on...only to find them fornicating in front of me and flying at me when I broke down, masked up and began a Holy War ( oh wait, that's right, the Lord wouldn't even fight them with me) and sprayed them...and they attacked me....now I've beaten them by taking away every plant they liked! HA!

Alexa is now set to go to Community College or Cosmetology.....I think more and more, a year to learn a trade, something that is fun, that she will enjoy and find success with will be good for her, and she can go on to regular college with that under her belt.....Frieda is so tough a taskmaster, but good for Alexa to learn discipline and grow up  with a great mentor....

Connor is a worry, but the men around him at school are keeping him involved.....he is so intelligent....he doesn't talk much, but he snapped at me recently and said, "I don't think if Dad was in his right mind,he'd like being your pet rock mom!"

We now have a hospital bed...he is just being taken down by the chemo, by the toxins of the small cell, I know now, we don't have time.....so every SECOND is delicious! I love caring for him...washing him, his face lighting up when I enter the room, his being soothed with oils and lotions I rub on his beautiful skin.

And despite the cyberknife, despite the steroids....he is losing appetite and weight.

And any ancient nurse will tell you....God is coming in and drawing him Home.....
