Today my friend Val and I went to Walnut Creek, Ohio. Amish Country! I love heading up there at least once a year. Lots of shopping, homemade goodies from the Amish, and just great sightseeing with lots of land and not alot of housing. It is such a vast difference from where I live and it's only a few hours away!
I just went there last week with my daughter (which was a great time also). I always enjoy myself on those trips. I bought a few things. A rug for my kitchen, a couple of pitchers (I collect them), and a small vase that I plan on making wire/button flowers and putting them in it and displaying the vase in my scrapbook room. We also stopped by a farm and bought some fresh produce. Broccoli, onions, squash and zuchinni, fresh strawberries, homemade bread and rolls. Yum!
That's all for today. Blessings.

Today was my follow-up appointment with Dr. Moore, my Oncologist. I might add, the most awesome Oncologist out there! LOL. Of course, he's the only Oncologist I know, but I can still be a bit biased. He's just a super nice guy. That's all I can say. He gave me wonderful news...that my bone marrow biopsy had come back "normal" again! No sign of Cancer! And even better news is that I don't have to see him for another six months. Three months longer than previous visits. Plus no more lab work till then also. Yeah! No more monthly lab work! I was very excited to hear this news!
I picked up some super cute stuff at Michaels today that I'm going to RAK to a fellow blogger. This is someone whose site I visit daily for inspiration. I am RAKing her because she seems like a super nice person and totally deserving of a RAK. "Random Act of Kindness".
I am missing my daughter tonight who is away at Camp. I know she is homesick because we received a call yesterday and she wanted to come home. Mind you, she's 16 1/2. I think it had more to do with her "boyfriend" who had to stay behind and couldn't go to camp with her. lol. This is her first boyfriend and I know she must be missing him, not us. Regardless, we told her to "tough it out" and enjoy her week away. She must have found a friend to keep her occupied because we didn't hear back from her today. I hope she's having a good time.

This evening my husband and I dropped our daughter off at Camp for the week. This is the fourth year of camp for her and she absolutely loves it! One entire blissful week of horses. This week she's participating in an Equestrian Camp so she'll get to jump with her horse all week long! Horses are the love of her life right now. And it's been that way for the past five years. She is quite the Equestrian. Riding horses is truly her gift. And she has many ribbons to show for it too!
After dropping our daughter off at camp we went to see "Knocked Up". It was pretty funny, but not as hilarious as my friend said it was. There were definitely funny parts, but as a mom who has two teenagers, I probably wouldn't have laughed at some of the stuff if they were in there watching it with me. But then again, my daughter is 16 1/2 and I'm pretty positive I would not allow her to see that movie anytime soon. Too much sex, drugs, and sex. lol. Alot of the sex stuff was funny to me, but not so much the drug stuff. I guess it's my age and mindset. And the fact that I'm just an old fart.
Blessings from an old fart,

Blessings for today: My beautiful daughter who I will miss for an entire week! And a nice evening out with my husband.

Not much happening today. I worked yesterday at Scrapbook Art and the store was hopping. I like working on busy days because it helps the day go by faster. I was so tired last night though that I fell asleep at 8:30p! I really didn't mean to, but I laid down for just a moment....and three hours later I woke up! Oh well.
Today I'm finishing prepping for a Card Class tonight at the Store. This is something I've been doing for the past four years (almost four years, in August). I took a few months off last year when I wasn't feeling well, but now I'm back at it and it really is one thing I truly enjoy doing! I love creating on a smaller scale and it's fun to hear the feedback on my cards. I think they are "ok", but it gives me the warm fuzzies when someone says "I love this card"! It just makes me feel good.
I've been thinking of opening up an Etsy Shop. I have a name for it and everything. I just have to get creating and figure out how to upload pictures onto the store front. I think it would be a great venture for me and it would keep me creating. I would probably start out with cards and tags (for gifts, scrapbooking, journaling). Nothing huge. But I have some other things in mind for the shop also, just need to tweek my ideas a bit.
The photo below my last post is one my son took. I believe it's his favorite spot right now. Not alot of people in our area know about this little waterfall. I didn't even know about it till he said something one day. About a month ago he took me to see it and it really is a tranquil little spot to rest and think about "nothing or everything". I can see why it's one of his favorite spots to be right now. It's just one of the things I love most about my son.....his love of nature.
Well, that's all for right now. Blessings to anyone reading this today!
Blessings for Today - That my friends husband is doing well. They were travelling Sunday (Fathers Day) when he had a heart attack. He is only 46! Way too young to be having issues like this. A hospital up in New York took care of him and they should be travelling back to Ohio tomorrow! If you're reading this, have a safe trip Val! You guys are in my thoughts and prayers.

Today is my first entry on my blog. I went into the hospital early this morning for my 3rd Bone Marrow Biopsy. It has been six months since my last one. I must say that up till today I have been very lucky with these things! This month marks my one year anniversary of having CML.
The first one - I slept right through it, felt good afterward, and the next day was a little sore.
The second one - I was awake, could feel pressure when they performed the biopsy, and had absolutely no pain afterward! Gotta love my Oncologist!
Today though, was a little different. I was awake, and could feel everything! Yep, it was not very pleasant. And I felt a little embarressed because I started to cry! LOL. Oh well, I wasn't sobbing, but there were definitely some tears this time. It was very painful. Thank goodness it didn't last too long. And after several cat naps this afternoon, I'm feeling pretty good. A little sore like the first time, but not as much pain as I thought I would have after feeling everything today!
For those who might pop onto my blog on occasion, this blog will mostly be about life experiences, CML, Scrapbooking, Friends, and Blessings.
Blessings for Today - My Son who took me to the hospital this morning. He had this lovely job because my husband is out of town and I was unable to drive myself (due to being sedated). And I only had to attempt to wake him up twice! And my wonderful friend Val who picked me up from the hospital and brought me home! Thank you Val!
