It Happened!

Okay… it happened.  We closed on a house with 28 acres.  The house is small, but it will work.  The barn is in good shape.  The land is beautiful!  It is fenced and cross-fenced.  It has three ponds and is a nice mix of woods and pasture.  We are excited to be moving out of [...]

Something Exciting is Supposed to Happen Today

I can’t tell you what it is.  Well, I could… but the way our plans have been changing so frequently I decided not to share the actual plan until it comes to pass.  We actually have two plans in the works and they should both come to fruition this week.

Jill had just been diagnosed with PleuroPulmonary Blastoma.  We weren’t sure if she was going to live.  The tumor in her chest was so large that is completely collapsed her left lung; her heart and esophagus were deviated and were both on the right side of [...]

A Trip to the Property

A couple of weeks ago I took John, Jacob and Jason out to the property.  We had a mission.  We were to be meeting someone at the property at 2pm.  We picked up breakfast on the way and ate in the truck.

Finley Park Dam

Do you remember this picture of the Finley Park Dam?  That was Tuesday, January 8th, the morning after we got 3.5 inches of rain overnight.  That is a lot of water!

Monday, January 21st… 13 days later.  Almost back down to normal.

That water is cold.  Very cold.  Do you wanna take a dip?
Oh yeah… let me [...]

This morning Jill and I are heading to Hollister to get another IV Treatment.  Remember to email me those Limericks.  I will be back this afternoon to post them, along with a poll so you can all vote on them.

Here is a recent picture of Jill taking her supplements of Ambrotose and Vitamin C.
