Live With Flair

I hope every one had a beautiful, relaxing Memorial Day weekend.  I loved listening to the military bands play on the TV and watching our country honor our military.  I grew up as a military kid, and have always felt that sense of deep pride and honor to be an American with love for my country.

The past three days for me have been awesome.  The weather was beautiful and sunny and now today it is raining and the rain is just as beautiful and welcome.  I was able to sit outside on our back deck and enjoy food; drink my chocolate milk or root beer and just enjoy the activity of all the folks having fun in their boats on the lake or floating near their docks, and I saw so many American Flags flying, awesome!  God provided me with a feeling of "I'm getting stronger each day," and that has felt so incredibly good right now.  I have put on a few pounds and hope to add a few more before I go for the Stem Cell Transplant in mid June.

My beautiful Mom sent me a surprise gift, a beautiful outfit she purchased at Victoria's Secret!   I am 67 years old and my Mom still thinks I would look beautiful in a Victoria's Secret outfit, now that's a Mother's love for you.  I put a little make-up on and posed for these pictures just for you Mom.  I think the Hot Pink color makes me look healthier, what do ya'll think?

And a little closer look at "Love Pink!"

I had fun being a "model" for a day.  I hope these pictures made you smile and to show everyone that I am still fighting to win this battle with cancer, and it is not always about worry and tears, I still have smiles and laughter inside that not even cancer can take from me.  God, friends and family are all around me to lift me up each and every day.  I have received so many cards, gifts and well wishes from everyone.  My thank you is truly from my heart.  God Bless You!
