Me and Dee (Like mother, Like daughter) 331/365

I was going to post a picture of my newest doofy hat but I was saved by the appearance of a facebook tagging....the picture I got with my daughter on my recent visit home. Doofy hat tomorrow...you've been warned!

A Photo of me All the Way from Louisiana 330/365

Don't get all excited about it...my friend Jo took it with her new camera this morning when I was on camfrog....Geesh I bet you thought I was off gallivanting around the states again!

And the Doctor Said 329/365

Have you ever just had a feeling something might be horribly wrong with you? Not in a truly "Oh I feel bad something must be wrong" kind of way, but a "That's one too many coincidences" kind of way? I did, but luckily I was MISTAKEN!

I know a lot of women here in Colorado Springs who are breast cancer survivors. I see pink ribbons everywhere. I got talked in to my very first mammogram because I have a medical card for a hot minute and I decided "Eh, why not?"

Then I met Sabrina at the airport plane last week and she just found out she had breast cancer. It kind of shook me up and made me worry more than I would have because I felt like maybe I met and bonded with her for some reason other than happenstance.

Oh man...I do not wanna go have my mammys grammed now. But I told myself to GET OVER IT and GO!

The whole ordeal wasn't near as unpleasant as I feared. I got in fairly quick after a short wait ( during which TWO yes TWO women asked me about my knitting OMG I love that) and the actual squeeze box only hurt on the side shot and not my boob, my armpit. Wham Bam thank you maam!

I basically put it out of my mind until today when I went back to see my DR and get my blood work results. My blood pressure is still up, I need Vitamin D, my cholesterol sucks but by jiggy, my breasts are still dense and healthy...woooooooo!

Here I am in the latest get-your-boobies-smooshed atire.

So I can rest easy about one thing. The boobs are good.

Me and Miss Lillian 328/365

My 90 year old neighbor. She has never really seen the internet before. I made her look at my blog and all my vacation pictures LOL!

Confucious Say...327/365

WHO WRITES THESE THINGS?

We ate at the Asian Buffet on Academy and Vickers. Ugh! The place was filthy and the steam tables not turned up. If I wasn't so hungry I would have left. Definitely not going back there again.

Me No Feel Good 326/365

I have been battling environmental allergies ever since I got back to Colorado.Me no feel good. My eyes are  super puffy. I hate that.

Beautiful Jewels 325/365

Made for me by my granddaughter, Jaelynn.

Home to Colorado 323/365

I bet you thought I was never coming back, didn't ya? Well I did. I got home yesterday after a rousing time at Midway airport and a delayed plane. Deanna and I headed north about 8:00 AM. Did real good until we hit some traffic and construction on Cicero Ave. We over shot the airport by a block, got turned around and went straight to where we needed to be. I hugged her goodbye and went on in to do the check-in/security thing. All was well until I checked the departures board...DELAY UGH! I remained calm even after talking to the gate person about my flight to Colorado Springs waiting in Denver (We will put you on the next flight if you miss it).

At least I had only one seat mate, a nice young lady who offered her cheese thingies to me halfway through. I love those Frontier planes. They have TVs in the seats lol! I watched the free preview but didn't want to pay $6 for two hours worth of  TV I can see here at home. I busied myself listening to music and writing in my moleskine.

We were allowed off the plane first and ran like heck to try to catch our flight. Got stopped halfway there and were informed we missed it....go to Customer Service. OK...guess what? We got $100 flight vouchers and only had to wait a little while for the next plane south. I can live with that! I walked North in terminal A and got Quiznos, called Jack and told him to go ahead and go home until I called him back (he was at the COS airport waiting).

Down at Gate A62 I met a nice lady named Sabrina from Pueblo who had been on my Chicago flight. We bonded after I made her look at all my vacation pictures lol. She didn't have as good as vacation as me. Bummer. I got her phone number and we're gonna keep in touch.

The little prop plane was all that I remembered. It wasn't near as scary as the first time.

Doug Knits 322/365

It's not pondfest till one of the guys sits on my lap to knit!

Matt TRIES to Knit 321/365

There's one in every bunch, eh? Matt came up with this idea for his picture...he rocks!

Jerry Knits 320/365

Jerry swears he actually knows how to knit. I did get to talk knitting with his wife but I didn't actually confirm his claim.

Tony Knits 319/365

Beef Aka Tony sings like Elvis and will happily mug for the camera too

Teaching the Fest People to Knit 318/365

This year I got my picture taken with my friends at the music festival  as I was TRYING to teach them to knit. Since I will once again be away from a computer i will spread these out over a week. Today I present Cybortree aka Rohn.

Queen of the Apples 317/365

Getting Our Nails Done 316/365

Nana Vickie, Brian's mom, treated us to pedicures. OK I'm hooked! Must budget for pedicures....

Guitar at Sharie's 315/365

The computer here at Deanna's house is in her bedroom. Last night she went to bed before I remembered that I didn't post. This makes me think maybe I really do need a laptop. However, that would be just one more thing to carry.

I booked my flight home finally. I leave from Midway in Chicago next Tuesday and after a transfer in Denver come right in to Co Springs just in time for Jack to pick me up after work. It was driving people insane that I had no definite plans on the return thing lol. 

Here I am playing guitar for Sharie's grandkids Saturday evening. 

This is the whole crew...six grandkids and an extra child thrown in for good measure

Fearless in Indiana (and everywhere else too) 314/365

When I go back to Colorado I will try not to worry about Grandchild #7, aka miss Fearless. We took a day trip over to Franklin Co Indiana where we used to live. Sadie loved all creatures great and small and would gladly  have gone over the side of the mountain to see what she could see if we had let her.

The Long Road to Nowhere 313/365

Grandparents Day at St Malachy's 312/365

Nothing can stir your soul like be honored by kindergartners! We were sung to and treated to lunch. Mmmmmmmmmmmm Turkey Surprise!!!

Jamming at Frogfest 2010 311/365

I learned to play guitar alone, sitting upstairs on my bed. it took me YEARS to be able to sing for anyone. This marks a milestone for me. I actually WANTED to get on stage and play for an audience. Not only the people in the room but a live broadcast available worldwide on blogtv.com. I had a blast! This is me and Josh doing Kryptonite.

On the Combine with Sissy and Brian 310/365

Nothing like a trip through the cornfield to make you happy you live near the mountains lol!

I may Be Fat but I Can still POSE 309/365

Stop and Smell the Flowers 306/365

About two years ago I published a similar picture of my mom smelling the sweet peas. Bitter Sweet memories.

Meeting Meg at the Airport 305/365

Nothing like showing pictures out of order, eh? I made this sign for Meg in about 5 minutes. Yeah, it shows :P

Leaving for Tennessee 304/365

I have had a wonderful time taking Meg around Colorado Springs and watching her eat LOL! Today we leave for Blondie's house ad tomorrow to Pigeon Forge to play music. I will auto post for a few days in case I can't get to a PC.
