Landslide

I have been working on an article for the local newspaper concerning this journey thru breast cancer. It is kind of a comedy/tragedy thing that may convey some much needed information. I think they are actually going to do it as a series over time. I am meeting with the editor on Wednesday to formalize the format, so I will know more then. The idea actually started as an idea for a book and after I had the first 8000 words, it just kind of took on a life of it's own. I love starting to create something and then watch it just take over and become what it is meant to be.

Just trying to get the house clean and things ready for Thanksgiving. Really looking forward to it this year. As you know we always make everyone wear a gay Thanksgiving hat to eat dinner. It is just a family tradition that keeps us from getting to serious about the day. Plus the little kids love it. Big Daddies hat is aways the "crowning glory" and it sounds like he is opting for a Pilgrim Hat this year. I wanted to make a combination turkey/pig hat with bonky eyes. We will see. We are going to St George tomorrow to get the items we need for the hats, Mesquite is very lacking in artful ingredients for gay Thanksgiving Hats. Should be a full day of creating nonsense.

Toby will be here Wednesday night and I am so looking forward to seeing him. It always seems like it's too long in between. We are planning a trip to Portland this spring to see him so maybe it won't be as long this time. Hopefully he and Tony and Cliff can get a jam session going on the guitars and then of course there is my family picture that I am planning. Everyone hates to take my family picture but I think I may get it this year and have them actually pose and take their time and get a good picture, see I am pulling the "cancer card" on them and they are not quite sure if I mean it, so they will fall under my spell and I will get my picture!!
