Resurrection

I have been cancer-free for nearly six years.  As often happens with cancer survivors, a symptom returns, and that has happened in my case.  I am not terribly concerned because it could be other thi gs, but I am going to have it checked and try not to let worry overtake me.

DIY Project: Kitchen Tiles

I have long wanted to try my hand at tiling my kitchen over the stove and sink, but I was always scared to do so.  I wish I had plunged in sooner.  Armed with a $30 credit from Home Depot, I picked out tile squares and the grout and matting the salesman directed me to.  For $51, here is what I was able to accomplish.

Here is my ugly backsplash above the stove:  a white metal sheet.

Here is what I was able to do in about an hour:

And, at the end of two hours:  this---I had bought 6 12x12 tile squares and had enough left over to do this 
ugly, white wall behind the sink.

I still have matting and grout left if I want to tile something else.

Window Nose Art

While the human Olympics is going on, some of us in blogosphere are having a pet Olympics.  Today's event is Window Nose Art.  Here are my contestants:

Humpty Dumpty and Lovey have it down to a science.

Cats on Tuesday

Cats on Tuesday is hosted by Gattina.  Go there for more cat stories from their human parents.

This is a new milestone, but it is one that I thought might happen.  Snowflake, on the left, is very aloof and arrogant; she does not associate with the other 5 cats.......normally.  I noticed the last few times she and Humpty Dumpty were snuggling with me, she let him sniff her and lick her ear.  Yesterday, this is what happened.  I don't know how  long it will last, but ain't young love grand?

Five Years--Cancer Free

It occurred to me today that it is my 5th anniversary of   being cancer-free.  The time has really flown by.  You can read more about that here.  I am so thankful for each day as a life-threatening diagnosis gives you
perspective as to what is truly important.  Cherish the people in your life and don't ignore your body's warning signs.
