BFF and Apples

October 14, 2015

Every time I run into Jeanne Isom it is like we didn’t miss a beat, we are best friends. Our paths have crossed throughout  the years and we can talk about anything.  That is  why when I go to the farmers market Downtown Idaho Falls and when I see her, we go right into our family reunion mode. The Isom’s Fruit Farm is the “Home of the Honeycrisp Apples” It is a family business that is worth talking about. The cider is sold out in the 1st hour and the apples are sorted so you get the best for your buck.  The apples have been picked in the last 3 days and will last in your fridge until Thanksgiving.   Jeanne makes homemade caramel apples like none other. She actually gave me the recipe and I have been working for years to perfect it. She is so kind to give a plate and a cover to the mouth watering caramel apple lovers.   If you want one apple for your lunch, a small bag for the week or a box the Isom’s have them for you and this is the place to stop! You might even get another best friend!

Boot Kickin Count Down

October 13, 2015

Boot kickin countdown – 32 days! My grand daughters and daughter visited me today and we had a good time! We put up the Halloween decorations, we made a boot countdown, to countdown the days left until my last chemo treatment, and  we colored. Kera swept and mopped my floor and watered my  plants. It feels like I got a lot done! Ha, ha, I just count the things that matter most. Relationships matter most. I am so blessed to have so many good relationships in my life. They painted, used markers, crayons and colored pencils. They talked about the boot count down, they are not sure what this means, except that grandma is happy about it. Kera is a music teacher and a performer and all 3 of her children play the violin and I was serenaded by my sweet 6 year old. Sweet Baby Girls!

Beat the Cancer and Survive!

October 12, 2015

There is a 75% chance that I will live is what I heard from the doctor. That 25% try’s to get the best of me. I know the cancer is being killed by the RCHOP treatments. As mouth sores get worse, my gums bleed, my heart pumps hard, my legs aches, I get hot flashes, and then the chills, not to mention the nausea. I wonder if this body has the fight within to beat the cancer and survive RCHOP or Chemo? Yesterday was one of those days, the tears just wouldn’t stop. Jim said,” we are getting out of here” so we jumped into the car and went to the big town of Rexburg. It was a warm Fall day and the first stop was Maverik (a convenience store/gas station). I usually get a green tea, but I was feeling a little more adventurous. I surprised my husband by getting a large coke freeze. I haven’t had caffeine for months because it was making my heart pump hard. But I slurped that down pretty darn fast and I think it made my heart start pumping!   We ran some errands, I even started making jokes and laughing. Jim took

Puppy Love

October 10, 2015

Loves and kisses from grandchildren are the best. These two really want a dog and they got use to Kakoa really fast. We went for a walk and they learned that they are in charge, not the dog. They like Kakoa to lick them, which I really don’t like her to lick me so it was good to have a break from licking. Being a step parent can get overwhelming but it is especially overwhelming for the kids. My kids and step kids  have 20+ step siblings. Some are very close and some hardly know each other. When it comes to grandchildren they can never have enough grandparents!  Grandchildren are so wonderful, and so is having a big family to love.

Who needs eyebrows?

October 10, 2015

Today was the first time I have ever really colored in my eyebrows. This is going to take some getting use to. But I am resilient and move through obstacles fast. Today I was able to do a little more and drove my car across town. I am feeling better every day and 34 days until I get to hit the gong sounds very doable. I heard someone hit the gong last time I was at Huntsmans Cancer Institute in the infusion center and I was so happy for them. It is easier for me to count the days until I hit the gong, than for me to think about the treatments and sickness that come with them. I am feeling pretty confident that I will be cancer free in 34 days. It is very scary to think of going through all this again. So many people have, and I feel for them. There are so many champion’s in this world. I feel like it will take me a lifetime to become one. I believe that my body is just going to continue. This is one of my “sharpening the tool” phases. We go through trials and they can make
