Life on the Farm (Book) http://www.Writing.Com/main/books.php/item_id/997202-Life-on-the-Farm I wrote this and never made it public. I found it today and decided to post it. Thanksgiving was the last Holiday I got to spend with Richard and it will always be a bittersweet time for me. Richard died on February 10, 2010 late in the afternoon. David and I were on our way to Washington, but didn't make it in time. In...[Read Full Post] Sun, 28 Nov 2010 15:58:41 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/712541 My wonderful daughter in law, Lindsey called me tonight. Richard had a biopsy of his liver done today. The news is not good. Without treatment, he has 2 weeks to a month to live. With treatment, and the doctors weren't optimistic at all, he might have a year. Because the cancer wasn't stymied by this last aggressive chemo treatment, the...[Read Full Post] Thu, 08 Oct 2009 20:57:32 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/671006 Will you all pray for my son. He has been fighting a battle with cancer for the past year. Last May, after several months of chemo and radiation, he went in for Esophageal Cancer surgery. Then he spent another 3 months on a hard regimen of chemo treatments again. His last treatment was 30 days ago and he was just starting to feel good. He was sta...[Read Full Post] Mon, 05 Oct 2009 15:51:58 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/670579 It's a event that happens every year, just like Christmas, Easter and our Birthdays.... baling hay! If only it could be done in the coolness of Fall, or during the evening hours after the sun goes down. Nope, it is done during the hottest part of the season, in the middle of summer and before the dew settles for the evening. First cutting...[Read Full Post] Wed, 01 Jul 2009 12:56:45 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/657367 Yep, we are celebrating Aric's first birthday today. His birthday is actually tomorrow, but having the little party today. Lindsey has invited over just two other couples that have children and we are barbequing hamburgers outside on the grill. We have some balloons put up outside and all the outdoor toys set up, including the wading pool, so the ...[Read Full Post] Sun, 31 May 2009 15:13:01 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/652466 Yes, as beautiful as the Northwest Pacific area is, I miss the ole Almosta Ranch back in Missouri and my dear husband. I can't wait until my plane lands in Memphis and I am headed home to a man who dearly loves me and whom I love with all my heart. This trip would have been so much more better if he could have come with me. Richard is recoverin...[Read Full Post] Thu, 28 May 2009 22:00:22 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/652080 Yesterday, May 12th was the day my son Richard was operated on for Esophageal Cancer. It was to be an 8 hour operation and Lindsey, my daughter in law was going to call me the minute the operation was over to let me know how things went. Of course, I was going to worry all day long. Well, I never got a chance to worry, not even once. When you ha...[Read Full Post] Wed, 13 May 2009 12:25:21 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/649552 David was released by his doctor to go back to work.... part time. He worked 4 hours yesterday and it just about did him in. He said he just doesn't know how he is going to do it. He works another 4 hours today then has two days off before going back in full time. If he can't do it, he is going to look into the short and long term dis...[Read Full Post] Wed, 06 May 2009 15:04:13 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/648457 I just want to say Thank You to the person who extended my membership. With everything that has been happening lately, I just didn't know if I would have the time to write or not. Plus we just didn't have the extra funds to put out for a renewal. I really appreciate the extension and will make a conscientious effort to get in here and write...[Read Full Post] Wed, 06 May 2009 11:58:34 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/648451 LORD DELIVER ME!
