Celebrating 5 years

While we were on our trip we not only celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary, we also celebrated my 5 year anniversary of being a survivor of stage 3 colon cancer. 20% chance they gave me, I beat that!





Yay!!! We grabbed some cupcakes and headed to White Sands National Monument, that's a huge sand dune I'm jumping on. :0)





Maybe, I should finally call to get my portacath removed. I have been hesitant to get it removed for fear the cancer would come back right away. But we've made it 5 years and I don't think I need it any longer.



This was taken the night of getting it, it should be a lot cleaner any day now. Just waiting for the peel, then I'll get a better photo of it.  Do you see the number 5, my friend Leanne designed it for me. :0)  Thanx again Leanne!

Sweet Treat Macro Monday

I noticed when I shared my cupcake in the swamp a couple of days ago I neglected to share the closer up shots, so here we go. A nice sweet treat placed where an alligator could eat, lol.

It's a nice small, two-bite, cupcake, one of the minis. It's ok, I had a couple.

Things around our house have been rather chaotic of late and it feels like I'm always behind on my blog visits. I always make it eventually, just not as soon as I'd like. And this week is going to put me further behind I'm afraid.

Early Monday morning I'm heading down to Joplin to help my parents out for the week. My dad is having surgery on his back (I'm sure he'll smack me for mentioning it so publicly), but I need to be there for a few days to help. They live in the country and their internet is frustratingly slow so even if I could find time to get on it would probably take me an hour to pull up my blog or anyone else's, lol. So, I will not be on the internet until Saturday at the earliest. Please take care and know I'll be around to visit as soon as I can.

Macro Monday is easy to play, snap a macro (or any close-up) photo, post it on your blog and come back here and sign MckLinky. Don't forget to visit each other. :)

Well, hello Cupcake!

This week I’m more about the story than the photo. But doesn’t it look festive and patriotic?! Last 4th of July, I tucked one cupcake in the spare fridge to snap a photo of later. Then, in typical Lisa fashion, I promptly forgot about it.

The fridge didn’t get used much (we sold it in the garage sale), but each time someone got in it, the cupcake sitting on one shelf, all alone, always brought laughs. About May, it was decided that maybe we should just tuck it on the plate with this year’s cupcakes and see who grabbed it.

But I’m not totally heartless, so here, one year later I took photos of it - then threw it away. Now I can’t say how it tasted, but doesn’t it scare you that a Wal-Mart cupcake looks so good after a year?!
