WOW it's been awhile since I've posted......we had a great summer, had Shannon for a week, Jim's sister was here for 10 days, we camped from the first weekend in May until Columbus Day. Made some new friends and had a couple decide that others were better than us.....Oh wells their loss. It hurts though. We took Jody to Boldt Castle in the Thousand Islands, love that place, hit my favorite winery while we were there. Also went to The Wild Center--once with Shannon and another couple and their boys and then with Jody. It's quite the outdoor place, I highly recommend it.
Jim has a new job and we finally are financially more stable. He's working for a medical marijuana facility doing security. He loves it. I'm still at the Cancer Center but boy it's wearing on me. We've had a bad week, lost 8 patients. One was only 25 years old--Brian was a favorite of mine and his loss has us all in tears, even Dr P. His funeral is tomorrow and though I don't usually go to those things, Nicole the nurse and I are going. Last night we lost Robert--an older gentleman with a dry sense of humor, he was always harrassing me and I loved it, I miss them both a lot. It just takes a lot out of you when you grow close to them and then they are gone.
My Rob is doing ok, he's into wine making now as a hobby, sent me 2 bottles of maple wine--not bad, more alcohol content than I am used to though, only need 1 glass at a time! He's making me a peach one soon. Shannon is growing too fast, she's 9 now and SMART. They putting her into a gifted student program at her school. She reads at over a 5th grade level in the 3rd grade and loves science.
Enough for now, I need to add pics but it will wait. I need to decompress for the weekend!
Hugs to all

Hi Karen,
You're still blogging...and that's such a blessing, even if it's only an occasional blog, and especially when you need to talk about good things - Jim's job, Rob's hobbies, and grandchildren. But when you need to talk about the things that lie heavy on the heart, sometimes we can only put those in words in a quiet place...like a blog.
You are surely a blessing to those cancer center patients...and I know that the Lord puts them there because you understand..and can be what and who they need, even if it's at the close of their days here. I'm sure they thank God for you.
I know that even though we aren't in the same area of the country anymore, your friendship is a treasure to me, as it always has been.
Blessings to you, my friend...as you bless everyone you meet.
Sue
