Ketch-Up Day

 

Whacha been up to while I was playing ketch-up?  We finally got to see the Grands and, of course, thoroughly enjoyed them.  We especially wanted to see the youngest before he has his surgery at St. Judes. I loathe the fact that he needs the surgery, but I am so relieved that he will be having it there. It's a delicate procedure and one the surgeon specializes in.

AND

I had a mammogram the other day and as I left, they gave me a silk rose.  


 

AND 

It's after Halloween but I got such a kick out of these pics that I wanted to share. One is my sister and one is my SIL.


 

AND


 In our area, it's local elections and yes we voted (early).

AND

It's also

 

And on that sweet note, I'm going to leave you...at least until tomorrow;)

I can see that your relatives go all out for Halloween! Best wishes for the little guy facing surgery. Be sure to let us know how it all turns out. Fingers crossed for a Democratic resurgence in the elections.

I always hear about St. Jude's but never knew anyone who went there.

Wish I got rose after that experience!

Birgit, The prayers are deeply appreciated.
They did a good job on the costumes, didn't they?
Didn't get my candidates in, but all in all it was a nice sweep in other parts of the country.
