Nancy, your running commentary has been a humbling experience for someone like me just dealing with ordinary things. Kudos to your hair for leading the charge, and if I were your cancer right now, I’d be afraid!

It’s not an ā€œUNā€ but a ā€œDISā€--it tickles me that the opposite of disgruntled is actually ā€œgruntledā€. I hope knowing this little fact makes you feel gruntled. Love you.

Thank you - it does! But there is just something about the SOUND of gruntled that is bad-tummy-achy harsh and makes me think IT should be used to describe aggrieved and malcontent, not disgruntled. (Yup. Just used an online dictionary for those two.) But making gruntled the new DISgruntled is more than I am up to.... But maybe next year!

I try over and over to write to you, Nancy, but my computer skills are lacking. I have no idea if this will work or not, but I think of you often. You're in my prayers.

Worked at B &B last Tuesday morn - the first time in over a year. Had some heel pain afterwards, so not sure it's for me, now.

Salmon regularly sounds pretty good! Another comment - my hair NEVER looked good in the hospital!

Hope you dont hurt. I just dont want to be in pain! Sounds like you have a caring doctor.

I'm so sorry you are dealing with the big C. There's one C that's even bigger. He gives hope. I was so bitter, Nancy, when life wasn't going the way I wanted it to. I had several miscarriages. It took me a couple of years to find my peace with God. But he let me express my anger at him - and I did tell him how unfair and unjust I thought he was!

Talk to him, Nancy. Be honest. He really does love you - maybe you already know that... he's ready to listen...

I've never spoken like this to anyone before, Nancy. You are precious, and I'm so glad you were my boss!

Love, Mary Frantz

After all you’ve been through, your hair owes you this, at least!! And Benson women have famously good hair.
