30 Day Photo Challenge: MAKES YOU SMILE

Day 6: Makes You Smile This is my husband on the right.  With his friend, Jay, on the left.  Wearing the same shirt.  At Disney World.  Dancing.  In the street. Note:  The children are no where to be found – hiding in embarrassment. My friend, Beth and I, we loved it.  It still makes me smile… and tear up. Shortly after this visit, Jay discovered he had an aggressive, B-cell lymphoma.  His treatment is equally aggressive chemo – 6 rounds…

30 Day Photo Challenge: SOMETHING YOU WORE

30 Day Photo Challenge

The challenge is on.  I am taking it.  I don’t think I have a choice since Madison (A.K.A. The Wrangler) has thrown down the gauntlet.  She is taking the 30 Day Photo Challenge and put a typically unflattering picture of me as the subject of Day 9 on her blog.  I didn’t know she was doing this, obviously.  On top of that she proceeded to describe for her readers her perception of our working relationship.  If she were my daughter she’d be…
