This blog gives me a space to record my adventures, my successes and failures, my thoughts, and all things pertaining to my family and my extended family.
My amazing and wonderful mother-in-law, Coy Harmon, passed away last Monday, May 8th at 6:20 p.m. She was blessed with 90 years of love and legacy that she left behind. Link to the audio recording of her funeral: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/2/folders/1_bgcEkd4E8Wt9xhpE1F_4p_aq2zPi1zG She had been having some health issues in recent months, especially with her heart, and went in on April 20th to get a CT scan. The results showed that her entire liver was engulfed in tumors, and there were signs that tumors were elsewhere, too. She was sent to the cancer specialist the very next morning to discuss what to do. The diagnosis was late-stage liver cancer, and the prognosis was bleak. There would be no surgery to remove the tumors, because they would have to remove the entire liver and get a transplant. Not something viable for a 90 year old woman . . . There would be no chemotherapy, either. Instead, she was told to line up some hospice care and that when the time came, the ...
Buon giorno! Ciao! I landed in Italy yesterday (Tuesday) afternoon, after being up for more than 24 hours straight. The travels all went great and I had no issues or delayed flights. Everything went as planned, thank goodness. I'm so grateful for a horizontal bed that I could sleep in last night and for a no-rush morning today. :) I'll recap the past week really quick, and then I have some photos to share of our new house that we'll be moving into very soon. Last Wednesday, I took my niece, Mari, and her dog, Ducky Momo, to a grooming appointment. Ducky is 13+ years old now, and was in dire need of some pampering. His fur was pretty matted, unfortunately, so the groomer warned us that she would probably need to shave him down. The alternative would have been an extraordinary amount of combing through all the tangles with a small pick, which would have been very stressful for him. Ducky Momo before . . . And Ducky Momo after . . . Because of the frigid temperatures in E...
This past week has been plenty busy with both indoor and outdoor work! And spring is beginning to bloom! Everything is so pretty outside right now. Popcorn is also popping on the apricot tree out front - - Monday: We all had projects around the house, but most especially the Whitworths. In addition to unpacking and getting settled in, Amber set about building her new easel stand that she had ordered. It just barely clears the ceiling but provides her a great place to paint to her heart's content. She is very happy with it! It was also Scott's birthday!! Everyone in our family reached out to him at some point that day, but Jacob had the funniest texts that he sent to his father. Something about there being a special place in Nevada for people of his age (51). Amber and her family, plus me of course, all sang happy birthday to him. :) Later that evening, after the work was done, we went down to the Snake River to walk along the greenbelt. The girls especial...
