While we were there ....Daughter Beth came with the Grands and McDonalds for lunch....Thanks Beth!

  7. Your frame is such a work of art, but that bike in your header really catches my eye. The old bike I purchased is waiting for a paint job. I haven't decided on the color, white or aqua. Maybe both!
    You, Dave, and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
    Blessings,
    Cindy

  10. Hi Kathy

    I've been catching up on your posts I managed to miss. When I lived in Chicago, we used to go to Sagatuck several times a year. Such a pretty town I am happy to hear that Dave is doing well. I'll keep sending those prayers heavenward for him. Also glad to hear that you all had a nice Easter. The baskets, etc. were all so lovely. I'm sure all the kids were thrilled!

    Hugs,
    Tamerie

  14. Hi Kathy:
    I'm really liking what you did to that frame. What a knack you have for collage! I'm looking forward to seeing the end product. Thanks for sharing.

  15. Glad things are going fairly well for your dear hubby....love the frame...all the special touches...my kind of frame!

  16. Kathy, I love the frame that you've created here- you are so talented. I hope that all works out well with Dave's treatment. Life takes such twists and turns, but prayer certainly does make a difference, I am convinced. Please know my thoughts are still with both of you.
    We are still dealing with so much here on this end. PT and a strong will should result in some great strides. He is working on using one crutch and using the leg brace as a second crutch. All to try and build muscles that have atrophied. Also trying to put so me weight back on him. Who would've thought I'd be telling him to eat more? LOL

  22. Hi Kathy, I love what you did with the frame, the images are perfect! Sorry I havent' been around much but I started back to school full time and with my part time job on top of that it doesnt leave me as much time for visiting.

  29. Dear Kathy,
    "Plethera" was also my husband, Patrick's, favorite word. He used it every chance he got and would smile when he used it. It just was a word that tickled him. He was a writer and words were his thing in life.
    I DO love your blog~!

  30. I'm new to your blog, but I know what it is to watch loved ones go through chemotherapy and hope against hope that all will be well. So far, we've been blessed.

    I hope your husband will weather the last round well and get PET scan results that light up both your faces and give you many, many more years together.

    =)
