Mood:  happy
Now Playing: Day 3086-Chapter 3... Happiness~My Silver Lining
 
 
 
 

Time to mix things up a bit!

Kindness goes a long way... especially when repaying a super nice gesture to Megan & Tyler!

We can't wait to share a little video we did for you both this week and of course... I can't wait to share the super cute card!

Thank you for such kind words as we both very much appreciate your support!

Now of course... it can't always be character skits because variety is truly the spice of life and so are sugar cookies.... mmmmm...

SUGARCOOKIES!!!

It's so cotton-pickin hot n' steamy here in the country!!

Who in the right frame of mind can really enjoy Father's Day... so we've decided to postpone things until Eric's rotating days off from work at the Sheriff's Department. 

Enjoy and you all out there stay cool this evening... get yourself a nice tall glass of cold refreshing iced tea!

YEEEEE~HAWWWW!

Ovarian Cancer... In Honor Of All The Brave Women Around The World♡
Mood:  bright
Now Playing: Day 3082-Chapter 3... Happiness~My Silver Lining
 

 

Another beautiful sunrise here in the country as young Handsome and his deer sibling Juliet wait for me to feed them corn, seed and sliced gala apples.

What can I say... I like to spoil all of the wildlife including Handsome and Juliet who prefer gala apples over green apples... hehehehehehe!

As I laid resting on the couch early this morning looking over Radiology reports and other notes from my specialists... I've come to realize there are so many Brave women all around the world that are battling ovarian cancer.

Now Playing: Day 3077-Chapter 3... Happiness~My Silver Lining
 
 

 

Did someone say...

 

"MONKEYBREAD"

Time to take it down a few notches and get back to a little bit of COOKIN' WITH LITTLE OL' ME... right here in the country!

20180611_000335_resized.jpg

 I don't know about you... but we all need hobbies to keep our minds from far more stressful things in life. On my good days what I really enjoy doing is cooking. 

This is an old school recipe but oh-so-tasty!

If you're counting calories and fat don't you worry because this dish is a little bit waist friendly..

So get your apron on and get ready for some quick easy MONKEYBREAD minus the monkeys!

 

One to two cans of biscuits

3 to 4 tablespoons of butter preferably light, yogurt or organic

Cinnamon sugar spice

Vanilla decorative icing

One bundt cake pan

One large spoon

One butter knife

 

Yep...it's that easy!

20180611_000549_resized.jpg

The rest of the recipe can be found on today's podcast~blogcast video.

Enjoy & Bon Appetit!

 

"MONKEYBREAD"

Introducing... The SURGEON
Mood:  d'oh
Now Playing: Day 3071-Chapter 3... Happiness~My Silver Lining
 
 

Well... I'll be a slice of cornbread and biscuits!

Who we have here...

 

Introducing... The Surgeon?

 

It's been a pretty eye-opening day that started this morning once I had called the hospital and my specialists office to cancel everything. Of course they have their concerns... however moving forward everything is pretty much left up to my discretion because things have never gotten better only worse. Same as with the last and most recent surgery trying to figure out issues with damage caused by radiation therapy. The surgeon had to vacate surgery once they got in with the scope because things were past the point of any further options.

So... after having a little heart-to-heart on the phone this morning. My specialist has me coming in early next week to discuss things and have offered me another surgical date later next week.

Between having some very vivid dreams and symptoms that are a bit disheartening along with not feeling. I do not feel physically ready to endure any type of surgical procedure... this might be for everyone's best interest. If you ask me will I even move forward with surgery next week? Right now... I would have to say no. So it's a good thing to give myself a little bit of extra time because we all know our body better than anyone on the face of this Earth and that includes any doctor... any surgeon or any Mayo Clinic.

 Till then... there's always room for smiles and

oh-so-much laughter!

 rved.

The Furever Bond... We Miss You Littleblue♡♡♡
Mood:  sad
Now Playing: Day 3069-Chapter 3... Happiness~My Silver Lining
 
 

8am

 It's been one year as we begin going through the steps all over again... the dreaded phone call that our beloved Littleblue was beginning to quickly lose such a brave battle. It wasn't until holding her paw while the veterinarian assisted her to a peaceful passing that I realized the most precious part of life.

Hand and Paw... I gave her the comfort and love that she had given me for so many years while taking her last breath.

 

Cancer

 

Not one single human being will ever understand the journey unless you too have been in those shoes... every step between first diagnosis... and the comfort of trying to compassionately help someone during the last stage of their Journey... even a fur child. Losing a sacred life to cancer 

The one thing that if I could firmly and strongly suggest anyone that decides to have children or fur children of your very own... is that you allow your child or children the right to express their emotions.

Growing up and feeling as if expressing your emotions was some sort of character flaw is not the way to parent a child. Then in turn growing up as an adult and being made a mockery of by showing or expressing your emotions as merely being deemed having a "mental problem"... is the most damning way to treat your child.

We are furever blessed to be able to spend some of the most memorable moments of our life with our beloved Littleblue. Even during her own brave Journey with cancer.

20151124_194029-1-1-1-1_resized.jpg

 At 8 a.m. this morning... we finally allowed ourselves the opportunity to grieve and look back through photos and videos that we could otherwise not do over the past 12 months. It was just far too hard for us to relive.

Even our furbabies remain with us through this Lifetime and Beyond. Their spirit still remains until we cross the Rainbow Bridge... Hand & Paw... Together.

20170604_012159_resized.jpg

In memory of our beloved Littleblue.

Forever loved and never forgotten to the Moon & Beyond~
