Well as you can tell this is a very unusal day.  I have been going through my pictures today and came cross this one.  This was a very special day for me.  This is "Relay for Life" and so many people had given donations in my honor.  We took pictures of all the sacks with mine, Uncle Harry's and Cousin Tim name on them.  It was cold and windy and Dennis did not feel good so we did not stay for the candle lighting but we did walk the track several time before leaving for home.  What was so funny is that Dennis and I had planned to attend for weeks.  After the walk Dennis said, "I am a surviver too, I don't know why I didn't sign up and get a shirt."  I felt really bad because I had not even thought of it.  I was just a breast cancer survivor, the race was for all cancer survivors.  We had decided to both walk the next year.  As you all know, he is now walking in a very special place, Heaven.  I can't wait to go there because someone very special is waiting for me.
It has been almost a month since I have blogged last.  This week I have time on my hands because I have  salmonella poisoning.  Hopefully I will feel well enough to go to work part of Thursday and Friday and then I am on vacation.  I had to make a hard decision because next week my grandchildren will coming up.  Since I want be up to handling all of them I knew that I would have to cancel.  It was a very hard decision but when you are sick as I am, I knew that I did not have a choice.  I have been planning for this weeks, for many months.  I wanted the grandkids to have a good a time as when their PaPa was here last year.  I knew that the weather was hot but I think all the parents were relieved that I had canceled the week. It is not so much the money that I have already spent getting ready for this week but with everyones busy schedule I had to realize that this opportunity would not come along again.  I will have to make each week-end I have with them to count.  I have been on Pintrest for weeks marking everything that I wanted to do with them.  I can just do a few crafts each time they come to see me. I will continue to Pin looking for the new ideas.
My pictures was taken at work Monday.  I wore my new outifit that Christy had helped me pick out and that was Mike and Gina's mothers day gift card.  I got several things that day because I don't know how to shop but Christy sure does. I felt pretty all day.

It was Roger's idea.  Christy come up by herself for the week-end.  It was great.  We went out to eat Friday night and then on to the play "Peter Pan" at the new Art center on the High school campus. Saturday we got up and went yard selling and back home for a much needed nap.  We got up and headed to the mall in Fort Smith.  Got home at 10:15.  Christy had overdone since her surgery was only five weeks past.  She headed home in the morning.  I took a nap and then ate the bad food.  Not a lot but enough to almost put me in the hospital yesterday.  I had to cancel everything, my girld friends where coming over tomorrow to play "Apple to Apples" then I had a crop week-end planned.  Well next month will be better.
