Labor Day

I had a few of those in the past. Literally Labor Days, bringing my children into the world.
However in the holiday sense of the word, I had a lot of those. 62 in fact.
We had a nice weekend. We made a trip to YC to see our son and his adorable family. We get these huge hugs and Mamaw, Mamaw, Papaw, Papaw yells when we walk up. They are so excited to see us but not as much as we are them.
I get my play time on the floor with the babies, K at 3 sometime wants to still be baby. Since Sis is 7 mos old, she is not letting go of her status as the princess.
Not just yet.
I would post photos but I left my camera at my sons, Darn it. I had lots to post about too. K tied my shoes, pretty neat trick but not sure i will ever get the loops out. LOL (a photo I wanted to take).
We bought peaches in Gridley, very nice peaches, Now that will be my job today I am pretty sure. Not totally sure as a paint job is calling me, The weather outside is marvelous, A nice 63 degrees with a nice breeze.
We took melons and vegetables to my son, The youngest son loved Cantaloupe. The others, not so much.
I found out the definition of a word I have heard lately, Kankles, It is an ankle that is puffy like a calf. Who knew?
The kids wanted me to try the WII, It was pretty neat, I have to admit.
It told me, after evaluating, I had the fitness level of 48. LOL LOL LOL.
It also said I was healthy so we know the thing lies. Ken said, "Well it does not know about your heart." All in all I was pretty good though, balance, weight, activity level. It said I was overweight. HA HA I am about 2 lbs. But maybe according to it I should be much less, It can not take into consideration, muscle structure, ( I am muscular) Body structure or lots of conditions.
David did his test, his fitness level is 70. Exactly his age, but tomorrow it could change. Ken said it changes by how you may feel when you take the test.
I can see that. If you are not on top of your game you are not going to function as well.
On our way home we stopped at Davids sister, Retha, she is not good. I asked to let me see her carcinoma on her breast. I am amazed, I never, never knew they would come to the outside as an infection. It is Ductal Adenocarcinoma.
She goes in on the ninth for a consultation or surgery or removal. Not sure which. My concern. Her arm is pretty swollen it is so much bigger than the other side. I see knots in it so I am assuming it has lymph glands that are affected.
I feel so bad for her, but her daughter is coming out to stay with her for three weeks. I will be with her through the surgery, If she lets them do it.
With her you just don't know. I can agree with her, but only in this sense, if it has gone far, do not have the surgery. Breast removal will not take care of any spread of the cancer. Removal of the breast is not something she wants.
No one wants it but she adamantly does not want a breast removed. She will agree to a ductal clean out and removal of the infected area but not the whole breast.
If the infected area is not removed I am sure it can be pretty deadly.

Please keep her in your prayers.
I told David I think he is about to lose his sister. He teared up and agreed.
As of this year, there are three children left out of a family of ten. That is pretty hard to imagine. Just a few years ago they were all at our home, laughing and swimming and eating and having a party. We did have great times together.
I have photos of his Mom, older brothers and sister that have gone on to meet God. Great photos of laughter, we just did not know how little time we had with them or how the time would go so fast.
Life is like that, You never Know, so hug your loved ones today, Let them know how much YOU truly love them.
No one knows what the future holds, The future can be the next minute.
So with that said, I adore each of you, you make me smile to think of you, you make my heart jump with joy.
God has truly blessed my life.
