I have fond memories of sitting outside in the shade reading the entire Harry Potter series to them one summer. I was "cookie" mom for 3 years so my living room used to be piled deep with cases of cookies for booth sales and individual preorders.Danielle H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11079935240201178744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-14616470727771478732018-03-08T13:58:49.882-08:002018-03-08T13:58:49.882-08:00Wendy, LOVing the photo of Mouse and Parker :) I w...Wendy, LOVing the photo of Mouse and Parker :) I was having a hard time getting past the news about your Mom, your obvious, expected concerns, including about your own health :(<br /><br />Many years ago, when I first started taking Mannatech products (and thought I could help people by selling them, but that ended VERY quickly), there were many testimonials of people reversing cancer. I don't sell it, but I'm mentioning it just in case. It's expensive especially since you need to take so much of it to help something like cancer. I think now you're able to buy products and don't have to do it through a rep. It's called "Advanced Ambrotose" and it's at www.mannatech.com<br /><br />Meanwhile, you may already realize that toxins, in general are the problem. Since you likely have a "cancer-susceptible" gene, what you do with toxins (avoidance and elimination) and also what you ingest (the purer the better) are critical.<br /><br />I hope and pray things go well with all of you!

My mom has had it 3 times and she had 2 different types of breast cancer so it was not a reoccurance. She did the genetic testing so that me and my sister could also be tested but her test came back negative. The geneticist said that she has a gene but they don't know about it to test for it. I hope you get some good news very soon.Carole's Random Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06737905249530702688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-55617122922368537252018-03-05T11:09:23.844-08:002018-03-05T11:09:23.844-08:00Melody - It was a full month. :-) Thank you for st...Melody - It was a full month. :-) Thank you for stopping by!

She's got a fever and cough at the moment. It is sounding more and more like it will work out though, and Mouse is happy about that. We're all excited for Mouse being in the Wizard of Oz.

Our winter has been kind of mild too, although right now it's been so cold at night (30's and 40's) that one has to wonder if Winter is making her final stand before spring--at least here. She's been pretty relentless in other parts of the world, I know.

She's all about being with her friends and the socialization aspect of it. Thank you for your kind thoughts about my mom. Reading does seem to help keep my mind off things.
