2010

Wow! Time sure does fly when you are having fun and living life to it's fullest. Since the last time I blogged, we added another grandson, Daniel John, thank you Jessica and John for Mr. Happy. He's wonderful and he'll keep his brother moving.

We've also lost our two of my loves, Simon passed away at our house in July, a week to the day after we returned from our Mediterrean cruise and his soul mate, Schuster, passed away in my arms in September, ten minutes after we returned home from a long weekend trip for our anniversary. They were fifteen years old, Jay gave them to me for our anniversary and Schuster died in my arms on our anniversary. Neither of them showed any signs of dying so soon, even though Schuster had gone blind from high blood pressure and was on medication. Simon was doing fine, we thought. They were totally loved. Now they are my angels and I miss them.

But, we've added a dog named Lucky to the family through Jason and Robin's family. They also added two abandoned cats and now have a house full of fun and fur.

My health is fine, I keep my appointments with all my doctors and I'm still cancer free, two and half years and counting.

I wish you all happy Halloween, happy Thanksgiving, and a blessed Christmas.
