Younger sis Erin was diagnosed and is now battling cancer. So sad yet she is a strong warrior and cancer doesn't know who it's up against. She started radiation and chemo this week so she's in our prayers. The main thing is she is keeping her sense of humor, as you can see below during her first chemo session.
Sister Julie surprised us by mailing everyone Twirp Strong bracelets. Twirp is Erin's nickname so it's apropos.
Last weekend went to the County Fair with friend Marie. Mainly wandered the animal stalls, cruised the main community building, snacked on a huge ice cream cone, and snuggled with the sugar gliders. Ran into a few friendly faces from work and high school. Weather was warm and not only did I wind up sweaty but it seems my pores opened up just enough to soak in the chicken, pig, and cow odor. It was just lovely in a Eau d'Manure No. 5 sort of way.
One of the animals enclosed with minature cows just did not resemble Bessie Jr. Is it actually a deer?
Still enjoying my hummingbirds, which have begun to grow in number
This coming Saturday my work team from Tacoma to Eugene are all meeting in Portland for lunch. There's only 6 of us but it will be nice to have a group bonding experience, especially since we all get along. We'll be eating at Mother's Bistro & Bar downtown which apparently has a good reputation.
After lunch whoever wants to can join co-worker Pam and I while we explore the weird, unusual yet bargain priced stores. Perhaps even stroll through the Portland Saturday Market, which is entertaining even if it is heavily doused with Rastafarian Bob Marley accoutrements, patchouli, tie-dye fashion, and chopped mango in a to-go plastic cup. Hmmmm, maybe it's time to relieve the nineties and get a beaded rat-tail braid in my hair to celebrate the summer? Saturday will definitely be an adventure waiting to happen!!
Sunday and this coming week will be hitting it into high gear to prepare for the annual Lexington garage sale on Saturday August 10th. Even took off next Thursday and Friday to prepare. Will definitely be performing an epic purge! Priced to sell!
And Friday, my most favorite, arrives tomorrow!! Enjoy!!!
