The "C" Word and more

Well, tomorrow we will find out if my grandma is having surgery or what. She got cancer in 1992, then again in 1997. Now I guess it's back. What a terrible feeling to have to deal with. Knowing that you've put your All into fighting off something that's trying to kill you and after throwing up, being weak, staying at home instead of going out so you won't catch something, loosing all of your hair---and finally succeeding--beating it--for it to come back to haunt you. Not once, but twice. She needs our prayers. We find out tomorrow what exactly is up--on her 76th birthday!

Ok, so that was depressing. I've been meaning to get that out, but was procrastinating. I like to post cheery things usually. Here's some things I'm thankful for right now: the crisp Autumn weather, my new Church experience, reading my study Bible, my creative outlet--scrapbooking, new friends, old friends, my wonderful husband, my furbaby Bianca, getting back in touch with my family.

Which reminds me...I've been thinking about coordinating a monthly or bimonthly "Family Night." I just had a thought that my calendar is always full of events with friends and Junior League obligations and that it would be great to have a planned night where everyone drops everything and comes together and plays a board game or watches a movie or something. Since we all live really close together now, it would be easy (although we should have been doing it when we lived further apart) Anyway, thinking about it...
Have a good week.
