Holiday Celebrations





These are the photos from Don's camera from Mariamas and Christmas Day. It's a good thing there are two of us taking photos because I'm usually in the kitchen and miss a lot of the good shots.

The photo of me is the day I turned 65. I'm sure I'll look back on this day and think I looked pretty good for a 65 year old who's dealing with cancer. When I remember back to the day of my diagnosis my prognosis without treatment was that I only had 6 months to live. Now I've received an entire extra year I enjoyed every single day.

The photo of Sophie and Ben was taken Christmas morning. Diane and Gary hosted a brunch and I brought my Waffle batter. Sophie and especially Ben love eating my Belgian Waffles. In fact Ben and his family came over for dinner one day and when Ben found out we weren't having Belgian Waffles, he said, "No Waffles?" and headed for their family car. It took a lot of persuasion to get him back to the table to try some new foods. But Belgian Waffles are still his favorites at Grandma's house.
