Falling back into my slacker ways!

Hi there everybody! Wow once again I come to the blog and realize that 6 weeks have gone by since I posted last. I haven't been in a coma just being a slacker and not posting. But it has been a fun and busy siwx weeks. It was back to work after a great time down at Pineland, but we have still fit in a couple of fishing trips including one down off of Palm Beach. The water there is jsut amazingly blue and I love to watch the flying fish and the tailwalking houndfish and half beak fish!We caught small mahi and amberjack but nothing big enough to keep. Still it was a great couple of days fishing! We have also cleared out a section of the garden and started some things for late summer- more black eyed peas, okra and onions. This weekend it looks like the weather will keep us on shore so I plan on getting some herb containers growing too. We have had plenty of rain which is a good thing! Nothing exciting to report on the health front other than that I feel great, am back to swimming and riding the bike, and continuing the treatment with femara and ibrance with no side effects and good indications on my tumur markers in blood work. Big smiley face. Hope all is well in your part of the world. Blessings and love, Wendy

Shark!!

Here is a picture of a bonnethead shark Michael caught today. It was a pretty female and was quickly released. I also caught some snapper and a big grunt all of whom are going home to our freezer. It was another beautiful (but hot) day.

Tata for now! Wendy

The Fishing Life

Hi there We have been enjoying south Florida with beautiful weather along with lots of great fishing. We even got my Dad to come down and spend some time on the water with us. Here are some pictures of our fishing adventures and one beautiful sunset from this week. Here is Dad and Michael.

Here is Dad with a Bonnethead shark he caught today and me with a red grouper that I caught yesterday.

And a nice sign off for the day.

Sending you all blessings and love, Wendy

June, graduations and summer!

happy Monday and welcome to June! How did half a year go by so quickly? Over the past two weeks I have had two nephews, Bobby Matheison and Kirk Sidwell graduate from high school. I am so proud of both of them! I missed Bobby's ceremonies as it was the same day as the gallbladder surgery but proud of him for getting into the commercial music program at Florida Atlantic University. And this past Saturday Kirk graduated and he will be going to Stetson University. Wishing them both a great summer and then a fun and challenging start of their college careers. We are planning on being home most of the summer with some fishing trips in there too. If any of you are going to be in central Florida please give us a call so we can catch up with you. Those of you who live here are welcome to give us a call too! Love and Blessings to you all, Wendy

Life without a gallbladder is fine!

I am surprised at how much better I feel after yesterday's surgery. I guess it shouldn't be a surprise since they removed the organ causing the pain. Today I am still a little sore and tired but expect to be back at work Tuesday. Michael did agree that I didn't have to mow grass today even though I wasn't at work! My beloved is such a joker. It will be a quiet three day weekend because of Memorial Day on Monday. I will hope at you all have a nice weekend too and don't forget to find a veteran and thank them for their service. Love to you all around the world. Wendy

There is always a new wrinkle!

Howdy friends and loved ones! the new wrinkle has nothing to do with cancer but I am having surgery tomorrow at 1 pm to remove my gall bladder. It has been acting up since Sunday and it is time to get it out of there! the surgery is out patient and not expected to be any big deal. I will post afterwards (maybe not tomorrow but by Friday I promise). happy to have any prayers you can send my way. love and His blessing on all of you. Wendy

Feeling great!

Hi there everyione, Just a quick update that things are going very well. My white blood cells have rebounded and that allowed me to start back on the Ibrance this morning. Glad to be able to continue with the new drug and so thankful that I have not experienced any nasty side effects with it!! I very much am back to normal although that means I need to step up my activity level and get my butt in gear. The weather is perfect so no excuses! I just wanted to let you know that all is well and thank you for all the support over the years. You guys are treasures to me. Love you and praying for each of you.
