H.I, THINGS HAVE BEEN SO CRAZY AROUND HERE SINCE I GOT BACK FROM CALIF. MY SISTER, BONNIE AND HER HUSBAND VIC, FLEW IN FOR OUR BIG ROUND-UP. THEY LEFT THIS MORNING FOR HOME. THEY LIVE IN OKLAHOMA. LET ME EXPLAIN WHAT OUR ROUND-UP IS. PENDLETON ROUND-UP IS THE BIGGEST WESTERN SHOW IN THE WORLD. THIS YEAR WE SAW 60,000 VISITORS COME TO OUR SMALL TOWN OF PENDLETON. PENDLETON HAS A POPULATION OF 16,500, SO YOU CAN IMAGINE WHAT 60,000 MORE PEOPLE WOULD BE LIKE....LOL. EACH DAY THERE IS A RODEO, AND EACH NIGHT THE INDIANS PUT ON THEIR SHOW IN THEIR ARENA. WE WENT TO THE RODEO LAST WED. REALLY ENJOYED IT. I GOT OUT MY COWBOY SHIRTS (OR IS IT COWGIRL SHIRTS....LOL) AND MY COWBOY BOOTS AND COWBOY HAT.. EVERYTHING AROUND HERE IS WESTERN. THE VENDORS HAD THEIR TENTS ALL THROUGH TOWN SELLING THEIR GOODS. THE INDIANS HAD THEIR VILLEGE SET UP AND THEY WERE SELLING THEIR GOODS. THE TRAFFIC WAS AWFUL, YOU EVEN HAD TO WATCH OUT FOR HORSES. I THINK I MUST HAVE WALKED 10 MILES DURING THE WEEK....LOL. I AM REALLY TIRED AND READY TO GET SOME REST. THEY EVEN HAVE A CARNIVAL OF RIDES SET UP. WE HAD PEOPLE COME FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD, I MET ALOT OF PEOPLE FROM ENGLAND, MET PEOPLE FROM THE NETHERLANDS AND GERMANY. ITS A BIG DEAL OUR ROUND-UP IS. THIS ROUND-UP WAS ITS 97TH YEAR. UNTIL NEXT TIME, GOD BE WITH YOU.

GARY

OK, YOU ALL HAVE TO BE PATIENT WITH ME, I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M DOING ON THIS SITE....LOL. I JUST SAW THE WORD BLOG, SO I CLICKED ON IT AND NOW I'M WRITING. SO WE WILL SEE WHERE THIS BLOG ENDS UP AT.

GARY HAD HIS SCAN ON WED. I TALKED TO HIM LAST NIGHT. THEY USED DYE AGAIN WITH THE SCAN, DIFFERENT DYE THAN WAS USED FOR THE MRI AND HE HAD A REACTION TO IT. HE STARTED SWEATING AND FELT LIKE PASSING OUT, BUT HE MADE IT THROUGH THE TEST. HE SAID YOU COULD REALLY SEE THE TUMOR, IT WAS VERY CLEAR, MORE SO THAN THE MRI SCAN. HE IS EXPECTING TO HEAR FROM THE DOCTOR TODAY, I THOUGHT HE WOULD BE MEETING WITH HIS DOCTORS TODAY, BUT THE DOCTOR WILL SET UP AN APPOINTMENT FOR GARY AND LEAH TO MEET WITH ALL HIS DOCTORS ON HIS CASE. HOPEFULLY IT WILL BE SOON. SEEMS LIKE ALL WE DO IS HURRY AND WAIT. WE DO KNOW THAT GOD IS IN CONTROL OF EVERY SITUATION, HE KNOWS BEST AND WE HAVE TO HAVE FAITH ENOUGH TO TRUST THE LORD.....PUT ALL OUR TRUST IN THE LORD. WE MAY OUR FEARS CONCERNING THIS SITUATION BUT I HAVE TO BELIEVE THAT GARY WILL COME THROUGH THIS JUST FINE. SO THIS IS WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW, JUST WAITING ONCE AGAIN. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR PRAYERS. IT MEANS SO MUCH TO ME AND MY FAMILY. I WILL KEEP YOU ALL POSTED.
