Resting on the kitchen windowsill are a pair of chicken wishbones. We haven’t pulled them apart yet, but it might be soon. A serious wish is needed for my father-in-law. I don’t mention my husbands family much but both of his parents are going through cancer. His father was doing better back in April withContinue reading “Wishbone”

Loosing the Battle
The cancer is winning the battle in my dad’s body. Mike spent the night watch at the hospital. Kim & I went home to sleep. They took him off one pain medication and started morphine. He’s breathing more comfortably and doesn’t seem to be experiencing any pain. Family members: If you are hoping to stopContinue reading “Loosing the Battle”

I understand that you have to place cancer in everyone’s life these days, butContinue reading “Dear (Deity of Choice)”

Today, Sunday, he actually has been a little more “normal” if you can call it that. He’s probably considered to be in heart failure.Continue reading “Hanging on by his paws”
A little Emma time
Thanksgiving is this next week and my house is a total disaster. Rather than start cleaning, I started printing & making a larger mess. It had been several weeks since last working on this block and I determined that wasn’t good. Especially after I started cutting away more. But other art projects needed my attentionContinue reading “A little Emma time”
