chemo drivers and visitors!




Hi, new pics. Last week I had Drew and his friend Lauren drive me Monday, then my sister-in-law, Susan, and Aunt Bev on Tuesday and Alex on Wed. We took pics on Monday, when my friend from college came to visit me! Paige was my freshman roommate and she traveled about an hour to come sit with me for awhile. The funny thing is, that when Alex came home from college after finals, I mentioned Paige and her husband, Kevin - also from college (i fixed them up!) when bringing in the mail. Alex says to me ...."Now, how do we know them..... from hockey?" So i explained that i knew them from college and that we stayed with them when their son Scott played ice hockey against Alex when they were probably in 4th or 5th grade. So, that's probably the last time we saw them, with the exception of Christmas card pictures. ....plus, i hadn't talked to Paige in about 2 years. So, Alex then says "Well, I've been looking at this kid at college..... and i think it is Scott". Sure enough, it is! Alex and Scott also go to the same college - what a small world!!!!!! That would've been real funny if they were set up as roommates!! Well, we all had a wonderful visit and Paige still looks like she did when she was in college! She is a warm, friendly, and funny person - always ready for a laugh. I wished she lived closer......... :D


Thanks for checking in, everybody. I love that you actually stop by to read my "stuff"!

  11. Hi Laura,
    I was just on my etsy shop and I saw your beautiful print stream by on what was just reserved. I love old prints, and I restore book plates from Antique books. Then I saw your other shop and was curiouser and curiouser still. (must be because I am currently restoring Alice in Wonderland plates)
    Well, then I saw that you had a blog. My best friend who also has the most amazing positive attitude, just won her battle with cancer twice. I am so glad to meet you, I love your creations. I just added your blog to my followings.

    Your amazing attitude will continue to help you do well.
