THAT OLD GANG OF MINE

Where to begin, as I was sitting in the lobby I just knew I had to do something about seeing Sharon, with three of the girls left I knew I wouldn't be missed so I decided to leave by 8:30.  I called Sharon and she was available at 9am.  She was going to a pottery showing over in Woodbury and asked if I wouldn't mind us visiting on the way.  I even found 3 pieces of seconds I really liked.  Was fun, they had cider, cookies and she does some lovely pottery.  I will post it later.
Sharon found out she might be available for a study on her breast cancer, it's new and there are only 61 participants in the US that are participating in this study.  It is offered for second time breast cancer patients.  I think Sharon will do it.  You do a lumpectomy instead of a mastectomy so you don't then have to have such a radical reconstruction.  Followed by 3 weeks of radiation twice a day six hours apart for three weeks.  It was so good to see her.  I was with her almost 3 hours.
I had to be at Gwen's by noon and I was there by 11:45.  Se made us lunch, we has a little wine and pizza and. A dip and chips Wendy brought.  Together again, Gwen, Wendy, Sarah and I.  What fun.  Wendy and Sarah are the only ones of us at ChartHouse.  Sharon was there too but in downsizing after I retired, Sharon was let go and so was Gwen.  It was so good to see the girls and we have already put it on our calendar for next year.  It started to snow so by 2:45 I headed for the barn, in other words I needed to get from Farmington to Mounds View before rush hour or instead of one hour by car it would take two.  I got to Skye's by 3:45.  Pour Skye, she only gets what is left of me.  I was so tired, we watched a movie, she ran errands and I went to bed early.  I was exhausted for the 4 lunches and 3 dinners out.  It was a wonderful time.

I sure was on the go.
Now to home, we got over an inch of snow so there is a blanket of white out there.  I know Jim is going to go ice fishing up to Red Lake with John and Andrew today and I have to get home as soon as I can for the dogs.  We have our. Christmas concert at church with a brunch so I have two egg bakes to make.  And the babies, Makons and Otto, I can't leave them very long.  Nerd to get some soup and more melting chocolate at Colburn's.
