Congratulations!!!

It's been a tough week (and we all have them) as we had to come home early from camping due to an erupting cyst on the back of Hubby's neck. We got home Monday evening and he was able to get into to see his doctor on Tuesday. He met with a surgeon at the hospital on Wednesday who said it was highly infected. They put him out on Thursday and removed it. They also discovered he has Afib, so he'll have more tests coming up in the near future. On Friday, we went to the hospital again so the surgeon could check it, plus they showed me how to pack the empty socket with gauze every morning till it closes. *Shock2*

Also, one of our nephews was in a motorcycle accident and had a stroke. He also has five broken ribs and a bruised lung.

Our other nephew just found out he has melanoma and also cancer in his lymph nodes, lungs, legs, and I'm not sure where else. This is devasting news.

Anyway, prayers are appreciated!

WDC is my escape. I'm so happy to be here! *Heart*

Oh, Cubby! I'm so, so sorry! I'm praying for you, your husband, your nephews, and your family.

I'm sorry I didn't see this sooner. I haven't been active on WDC for a couple of weeks. My heart and prayers are with you and your family.

Sending lots of love and healing light. I'll keep ya'll in my daily prayers. *Hug* *Heart* *praying*

Hi! The internet service is terrible where I am at. If I don't respond to you, that is why. I'm having a great time otherwise!

Estivation = Cubby's August Lull. A yearly event... *Smile*
We are now at a campground where I can get easier access!

AT LAST!!!!!


*TreePine**TreePine**TreePine* *Wave1**Swimming**Hiking**TreePine**TreePine**TreePine*
We are leaving tomorrow morning (Wednesday) and I just started packing yesterday!
This kitchen/dining room project has taken over my life this summer!

I might not have Internet access, but if I do, I'll only have my cellphone,
so I

won't be reviewing
won't be writing online
won't be as active

till I get back...maybe in two weeks?
More or less, depending on the weather.

I'll be checking in everyday, if I have access.

I can't wait till tomorrow!
Both my daughters (and fams) are meeting us in the Upper Peninsula
and will be camping with us through the weekend!

Yes, but hopefully they'll stay away!

I am assuming that only Upper Peninsula I know in the USA is the one headed to. Looks up list of Michigan cryptids...

Dewey Lake Monster
Dogman
Leelanau Lake Monster
Maymaygwashi
Melon Heads
Nain Rouge
Pressie
Torch Lake Monster

You'll be fine. Just go near any water, any forests or any towns. All good!
s - Now that's kind of hard to stay away from in the U.P of Michigan! *Laugh* We'll be far away from towns, but definitely not water or woods. *EyesLeft* *EyesRight*
Travel safe and have fun! *Cow* *Heartp**Heartv*
