As most of you know I have been battling thyroid issues for about three years now. In March I had radiation to treat it, and with the help of new medication that I will be taking for the rest of my life I am now feeling much, much better.

However as is life .....my Mom has recently been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. This type of cancer is almost always found in late stages, and is almost always fatal.

All prayers, and positive energy are welcome as is your patience when I will need to be away from blogging. While my family is always my first priority I do enjoy blogging and it will be helpful I think while I am coping with my Mother's illness. So I will be around and blogging as much as I can, and when I feel up to it, just not as much as in the past.

Matthew has been of great help and support, and we are blessed to have him.

Thank you all in advance for you patience, and understanding during this very difficult time for our family.
