4.28.12 Improptu Cookout

Tonight, a cookout! I have the best sisters ever! We can just have an impromptu cookout, and those are the best, why? because I can participate this year. Last summer, not to look back, but to be thankful this year. I felt so bad everytime we had a cookout and I couldn't really participate. Not that anyone wanted me to, but it's hard to sit back and watch. But letting that go and moving on. Thankful for today and thankful for cookouts! Love you, love me, love you, love me!

4.27.12 Bowling for Cancer

I would have never thought a year ago, I would be at a "American Cancer Society- Relay for Life, Bowling tournament. It was such a joy to watch Bill and my brother Eric bowl. They make me so proud. I didn't bowl this year, but betcha-by-golly, I'll be bowling next year! (I think I'll wear a bald wig) And I'M GOING TO RAISE THE MOST $! Blessed, blessed, blessed! Love you, love me, love you, love me!

A New time...4.26.12


And so begins my journey, a new journey of being cancer free... I will take with me, (when I can), Bunny...
Bunny coming home with me April 26, 2012
To introduce Bunny. He is my cancer survivor buddy. I decided when he was given to me, there are times and places I would like to take all of you, my friends, but I would be unable to. Bunny reminds me I'm not living alone. I am not thriving alone. Will Bunny be with me forever? No, I am thinking he may find another friend in need of him someday, but until that day, he is here helping me. Does this all sound silly? Just a smidge, since I'm not one for referring to myself in the third person, but whatever. I love Bunny. Back to how we met. A friend of mine (human, mind you) created Bunny. He lived on a beautiful chair in her dining room awaiting someone to take him on adventures, (although he didn't know this). It so happened one evening I was invited to Bunny's house and to dinner. As I got dressed that evening I found a striped sweater I love dearly. I wore it to dinner and lo and behold it was the same color Bunny was wearing! My friend explained that she MUST give Bunny to me. Ah, Bunny! But that night it was not meant to be! I forgot Bunny but within the hour texted my friend and told her to hold tight to Bunny that I would return. And I did, 3 weeks later, for my last chemo appointment. Bunny flew home with me. AND THIS IS WHERE MY CANCER FREE LIFE BEGINS... What will tomorrow hold? We don't know, and we can only guess where Rhonda and Bunny will go! We do know that friends, gifted from God are there in our hearts and in our minds. God Bless, love you, love me, love you, love me (and Bunny!)
