I posted the wrong date for Dave’s surgery, it actually will be March 7… Kenny asked me to go with him to the high school today to talk to Josh’s counselor. Kathy had to work and wasn’t able to go. I went with him and it looks like Josh will be attending Vo Tech after he graduates. I think he will take Graphic Design… This evening Dave went with Kenny to Home Depot. They are going to build shelves in Kenny’s garage. That will be good for Dave… I am going to take some time off from doing my journal. I feel I am needing another break… I will be back… Goodnight All… Keeping The Faith In Oklahoma

Dave went to see the urologist this morning to get the results of his CT scan and ultrasound. Well the news wasn’t good. He told him that he is almost sure that he has testicular cancer. He is scheduled for surgery on the 29th of February to remove the testicle. He would have done it this Friday but since Dave is taking an aspirin a day he had to wait till he was off of aspirin for ten days. So here we go again… I did laundry and took care of house plants. We are having leftovers for supper… Goodnight All… Keeping The Faith In Oklahoma

Yesterday our internet was down… I got a good report on my mammogram. Everythng is fine. Thank you God… We left the breast center and went shopping for jewelry again. Still can’t make a decision though… Then we went to David and Lori’s. They got a new television and it is a really nice one. We are always happy when our kids get something new and want to share it with us. Jenni, Madison, and Macey were there so I got my grandkid fix… Lori fixed a delicious meal for us… It was late when we got home and I couldn’t wait to get in bed. I was so tired. It had been a stressful day… I received a sweet e-mail from our granddaughter Erin today. The baby had woke her up in the middle of the night kicking. So while she was awake she wrote to me. Erin is having to go in everyday for a stress test. She and baby Kooper Allen are in my daily prayers…
It was in the 60’s and the sun was shining so I thought I would get outside with the dogs. Sammy and Teddy saw me outside and came running down here. The wind was cold. So I only stayed out for about an hour. Josh had the day off and he was riding the four wheeler… Goodnight All… Keeping The Faith In Oklahoma

It was four years ago today that I lost my Mother. I miss my Mom so much… I folded the launry that was left in the dryer from the last time I did laundry, whenever that was? Kenny called and asked us to go to town with him just to get us out of the house. I told Dave to go and I would stay home. I thought I would give them some time together and I still had to ride my bike and I wanted to chat with my friends… I watched the movie “Forget Me Never" again. Each time I watch that movie I see things that I don’t remember seeing before… Well finally the weekend is over and tomorrow I will find out more about the mammogram and ultra sound. I am postive that everything will be okay… Kenny, I wanted to let you know that the roses in the flower arrangement smell so good… Goodnight All… Keeping The Faith In Oklahoma
