Leaves for Leontien

October is National Breast Cancer Month.

Since I am a breast cancer survivor I know

what it's like to go through radiation and

wonder every time you have a mammogram

will it come out negative. 

 Leontien is battling an aggressive form of melanoma (see an update to her status here,)

This is just a note to say hang in there Leontien, a lot of people are thinking about you. 

Best Friends!

To be young and carefree

full of life. Let's put on fake eyelashes

and pretend we are models!

We are on the big screen, we are sexy,

we are best friends!

Calvin the Cat

This is Calvin! He thinks he owns the block!

He comes over for a visit all of the time.

We enjoy his visits and love taking his picture.

He's great at posing for pictures, a real natural in 

front of the camera!

Hot and Dry

We have had a very hot and dry summer.

Days of 100's, today being 112 degrees.

Two days ago we had a huge grass fire near town

that burned 500 acres. I was able to get pictures 

of the tail end of the fire as the Blackhawk started

dropping much needed water.

The town of Stillwater owes a lot to the Emergency

Personnel. The day was up to 111 degrees and the

men and women were taking shifts to try to put the fire out.

Surrounding towns came to help out as well. 

The People of Stillwater helped the firefighters by

bringing truck loads of bottled water and Gatorade.

By the end of the day they had a semi full. 

The fires have started up twice, but not as bad as the first time.

God bless the people who lost their homes and 

the farmers who lost their much needed hay bales.

It's going to be a tough winter.
