After my breast cancer in 2000, we decided to live life, since we never know what tomorrow may bring! check out my website for breast cancer -google bcdiy and tell me what you think. Bill died in 2014 of lung cancer due to his asbestos exposure on WWll submarines -I';m staying in our home as long as I can - but getting older is an issue for all of us. and being alone is sometimes difficult - I've been quilting since 2005 and this year Illl donate 150 quilts to the Hospice Chaplain who ministered to Bill the last week of his live - she is now Chaplain at a nearby hospital.
Unfortunaely had to put both my dogs down in 2020 - waited until April 2021 to adopt a rescue from the Humane Society - he's a 7 yr old Silky and the best decision I've made lately.
