Clothesline

-
If you're a long-time blog reader, you'll remember that every spring I get the bright idea that I should be more energy efficient and take advantage of the clothesline in our back yard. It usually only lasts a couple of weeks when the energy it takes to actually hang all those clothes up, plus get them back inside, plus the heat and humidity get the best of me and decide to rejoin the 21st century and use the dryer. Yesterday I decided it was worth it to hang the jeans outside. We'll see how long my energy efficient push lasts. My guess is that it'll be over by the time May arrives.

I'm chuckling since I considered hanging a load of laundry yesterday... then decided that it wasn't worth the stress of wrangling Spencer at the same time! ;-)

my dad has always loved towels from the clothesline..
One very big memory I have of my granma H is being outside with her while she hung up or took down clothes off the clothesline!
GOOD LUCK!

I used to love helping my Mom hang clothes out on the clothesline. :) There are days when I wish our subdivision would allow us to have a clothesline - there is nothing like the smell of air dried towels ... but, we're not allowed. :(

I'm pretty sure with an attitude like that, you'll be lucky to last till May. ;)

Love the picture. Reminds me of past clothesline days. Hoping to have one again.

Maybe the weather will cooperate so you can enjoy a few more days of "hanging out"!

Good luck! I'm dying to get my new clothesline - I've been waiting for one for years. Matt doesn't think I'll stick with it though...

The Scoop

Our meeting with Dr. W today was fine. Not encouraging, but fine. I don't know why I expected better news, but I think it's hard not to hope that the bad news you hear is somehow wrong; that they've somehow made a mistake. Basically, the cancer is still the same as prior to chemo. Possibly a little larger, but he said it was hard to tell. He was glad that it had not returned to my bowel or colon (because that was a large part of my initial surgery), and my chest and lungs are still clear (apparently, this is the next place the cancer would go). It does not change my stage of cancer (still 3c), and remission is still a possibility, but he said that it would be very tough to get there.  There are several more drugs that we can try, which is good, but unfortunately they each have a success rate of only 25%. It's a little too early to be considering clinical trials because hospitals who hold the trials like for the patients to have tried the more main-stream drugs firs...

1. Thanks to Andrea for driving me to chemo today. I'm always a little anxious on the way in and the very few times I've had to drive myself, it's been a little lonely coming home. But not today. 2. A fellow chemo patient today thought I was in my 20's. Score.  ("score" would be a term I'm borrowing from Becky ) 3. I did not wear a scarf today to chemo, and all the nurses and doctors did a double take since they didn't recognize me. So wierd. I recognize me with hair, bald, and with a little puppy fluff. 4. Dr. W. is adding Avastin , a new drug which will help prevent cancer cells from growing, to my current Gemzar routine. Good news is that it won't make me feel any worse. Bad news is that in a small percentage of patients it causes severe side effects involving blood clots, kidney failure, ulcers, and holes in your bowel. Good times. 5. I've been instructed to head directly to my primary care doctor for blood pressure medic...

Scenes from the Soccer Field

So I may not have apologized yesterday about the number of pictures, but I am definitely going to today. Because  coughcough thirty coughcough just might be excessive. And probably my family will be the only ones who look at all of them. But I don't care. :) By the way, we completely lost and did not even score a goal yet again. Rory tried really, really hard. This team was head and shoulders bigger than we are, way more coordinated than 4 year olds should be and their coach kept their A team in the entire game. Even after scoring some 15 goals. Oh, well. Rory still enjoyed herself. Which way is the goal again? Notice her position in this picture. Notice how she passed the girl next to her? No, I am not competitive at all. Not sure where the other team is. Oh, wait. There they are. See how much bigger they are? You'll notice she almost always runs with her mouth open. Either that or her tongue hang...
