Baby It's Cold Outside!!

The heater went out on the bedroom side of the house.  Fortunately, it was just a disconnected wire.  That set us back about $88.00...for about 5 minutes of work. However, we are grateful for the heat to be back on, for a warm house, warm beds and a place to enjoy life and good food - so many, many GOOD things.
I've been looking at stacks of family photos for the past couple of days.  Memories flood in, sometimes tears flow and other times, laughter at just the thought of the "good ol' days".  Just a warning to Phil & Tina, Chuck & Patty and Teresa & Dan....photos will be coming your way.
I've mopped the kitchen floor, made a rustic apple pie and am resting (blogging is on the list of "how to rest" - I'm just sure of it).
This is my last week of chemo.  There are a lot of emotions running around my mind. I'm not sure that I've got that all sifted through so will wait on further comments.
I am grateful for this past course of treatment - more to the point, for the blessings of God's Spirit and for the faithfulness of prayers of "the many".  For my card warrior, Tina, you've lifted my heart so many times....sharing your days and making me laugh.  You have such a talent for sharing your 'ordinary' (is there such a thing as an ordinary day?!) 
Right now, Coco is playing with a squeaky toy in the living room, Sophie is hopping from chair to chair, trying her best to avoid Scout (aka: Pe Pe Le Pew).  It's a love/hate relationship - I've seen Sophie standing alone in the kitchen, bawling and making such a fuss - no dog in sight. 
I enjoy "real time" (not daylight savings time, I should move to Indiana).  Evenings fold around us, winter recipes calling me.  Sort of calling...I have days I want to cook and do and days that take out or a bowl of cereal is quite enough.
The past round of chemo (3 pills 2x a day) made me so sleepy...like putting a record on the record player and turning it to 33 l/3 or lower.  Only people my age and older understand this.   Sometimes the neuropathy is very bad and other times I am left with just a very low buzzing feeling in my feet and hands.  As I write this, I have not one thing to complain about.  I know others who are suffering so and are working so hard to stay 'in the game'.  God bless them and keep them all.
I need to get out some plates and make a pot of tea.
Enjoy your evening of good food, good company - either people or a good book, a quilt on this very cold night. 
Now as the sunshine pours into the back window, I am seeing a lot of dust that needs to be Swiffer'd away.  I am thankful to be upright and able to whisk it away!
love to all, kathryn
