Sunday

Today's sermon was about Jesus scolding his disciples for turning away the children from coming to him and how we should become as a child, for theirs is the kingdom of God.  It was also World Communion Sunday, so millions of Christians around the world were having communion this day.  Pretty awesome!  We said goodbye to our fellow parishioners and the pastors - always sad!

This evening we went to Bryan's for dinner.  It was cold and drizzling all day and tonight too.  It was hard driving home because of the dark and the rain and the fog.  I watched DWTS Juniors tonight.  Wow, those kids can dance!

Saturday

This was a good day!  My niece, Linda, came to Waterloo to pick me up for the day.  We went to Cedar Falls because she had some shopping to do.  We hit Target, Old Navy, Ulta, and Carter's Baby store!  What a fun time.  Oh yeah, we also ate lunch at Zsavooz Bar & Grill.  We tried to get the ZZ Leiden basketball game, but it wouldn't come in on their internet.  In case you didn't know, that's the team that Clayton (Kaylee's hubby) plays for in the Netherlands.  They got beat by 5 points, darn it! 

We got home in time to watch the ISU-Oklahoma State game.  It was a fun game with a true freshman starting QB who did an absolutely wonderful job of leading the Cyclones past a ranked OSU team!

Friday

Today was another quiet day.  I worked on paperwork and then I was able to talk Dave into helping me!  Then we were able to change our insurance to a local company.  They were very helpful and friendly.  Other than those things, we didn't do much.

Thursday

Today was a fall-type day!  It was 36 here this morning...got up into the 50's.  The sun was out and the leaves are starting to be really pretty!  I even had the patio doors open about 2", letting in fresh air!  Don't mind these kind of days!

Dave worked at Bryan's this afternoon.  We had lots of wind all day yesterday, so Bryan's  lawn was littered with branches.  It was a good day for Dave to pick up sticks!  Plus he got to see baby Kaitlyn,  too.  I worked on this and that!  Reconciled the checking accounts, etc.

Now I'm sitting here with my flannel nightgown and my fuzzy socks on!

Wednesday

I didn't get the result that I hoped to get when I met with the radiologist this afternoon.  I have a ductal carcinoma in-situ in my breast - 4 mm in size and it's still in the duct which is very good.  As soon as I get to Florida, I will be having an confirmation MRI followed by a lumpectomy and most likely radiation.  I am anxious to get it done before it becomes something major.  I've shed my tears of fear and talked to God.  He is in charge and with His blessings, I'll be just fine. 

This is Bryan's birthday, so tonight we met him and his family at Carlos O'kelly's for dinner.  It was a fun evening!  I even got to hold the baby!

Interesting Day

The other day I had a mammogram.  They found an area of new calcification so asked me to come in for a follow up.  So today was that day.  I went in assuming I'd have another mammogram and I did.  I also met with the radiologist who told me she'd like to do a biopsy.  We did that today, too.  It was a stereotactic biopsy instead of a needle biopsy. I'm pretty sore, but I'm just glad that's over!  Now I go back tomorrow afternoon to hear the results.  Please say a prayer for me.

Monday

Rainy and cold.  We had 2" of rain over the night and another 1" today during the day.  We've had 18+" of rain in September alone.  Way more than we normally have in 12 months!  The farmers may not get into the fields until the ground freezes!!

I finished my jack-o-lantern today...he's so cute!!

Other than finishing this, I didn't do much else!
