Cancer stole fishing from us in 2007 and 2008, but we did sneak in 15 mins this past weekend. We didn't have any live bait or a license, but we couldn't resist. But no hits. Just Jim's smile. So, then I put on my bikini, and Jim put on his 1980's speedo, and we swam for an hour in the lovely Tionesta. Awwww.
For Christmas, I bought Jim a sign for our home that says, "Heaven is a little closer in Cherry Grove." That's were our cottage is for those of you who don't know. It's so quiet and peaceful. And it is a little closer.......um a little too close, when I think of it.

Gorgeous picture! Uncle Jim you are as handsome as ever ;) Aunt Dolly what's this about your gland and the pain your in? Did I miss something? I'm praying for peace, rest, wisdom, and guidance. Was there a doctor's appt. today? I love you both.
Love,
Judi
awwwwwwwwwww...young and in love. :)
Love the pictures. Do you know Alison Weber? She has a cool blog and her post today gave me a moment of pleasure. http://homenotalone.blogspot.com/
She's a really cool woman.
Love you. Thinking of you.

I love these pictures, particularly the one of Jim. He looks great! Swimming in your bikini and Speedo? Sounds fishy to me! ;-) I will say no more! But I agree with Leah, it’s so nice to hear about the young couple in love.
I like your poll. I think you should do one regarding the sauerkraut and the skin burning regimen! I bet you won’t want to ever eat sauerkraut again. Of course, being Germen I love the stuff but Gary being Scottish DOESN’T! I haven’t had it in many years. One time when we were first married I was going to have my family over for a good old fashioned German meal. I had this sauerkraut recipe that included slow cooking it all night. So there we were in a small apartment with the yummy fragrance of sauerkraut filling each room as we slept. Gary got so frustrated that around 2:00 in the morning he got up in a huff, unplugged the crock-pot and set it out in the snow! Anything to get the smell out of the house! There went my special meal. I haven’t made it since.
Well, we love you both. I’m so glad you had a special weekend at the cottage.
If you want my opinion on treatment I would say that anything which put the cancer into remission is worth the Hell of going through it. But if that is not a feasible possibility (other than a miracle and that would be the hand of God not the hand of chemicals.) and the new treatment will only give him an additional couple of months I would never put either one of you through that. I voted “um, I don’ know” on your poll but given any kind of solid information I think I would be quite opinionated-surprised aren’t you? LOL Anyway, that’s my two cents worth. I’d rather have two months of half way normal life with my husband than six months filled with hellish chemo. But of course I’d rather have two years with my husband and go through six months of hellish chemo to give me those two years.
The bottom line for both of you is what is God leading you to do? I know it can be hard to hear his voice within a crisis. Yet, he will at least give you peace to continue with treatment or a peace to refuse and trust him and him alone with the rest of Jim’s life. I could never say for certain what Gary and I would do because God could lead he and I totally different than you and Jim, even within the exact same situation. I will continue to pray for God to give you wisdom and guidance.
We love you both
Rachel and family
