World Cancer Day

I am Robin.

I have had breast cancer twice.

Each time it was a different cancer,

 in a different breast,

seven years apart.

My oncologist called it a "fluke"...

Then came surgery and treatment. Again.

 Today is a day to be aware. 

Early detection saves lives.

It saved mine twice.

Please have your screenings.

Sending hugs.

Love you beyond the moon.

 I was getting vegetable soup ready 

for dinner and at my kitchen window, 

the neighborhood cat watched me.

Fin is a sweet cat....

Love you beyond the moon.

Happy Crepe Day

Every year on February 2nd, French families and friends gather to celebrate La Chandeleur, also known as Candlemas.

This charming holiday blends ancient traditions, religious observances, and, of course, food.

It is  a cherished occasion in French culture.

Larry and I celebrated....How about you?

Love you beyond the moon.

The Christmas Card

Photo: Thank you Beverly

We have Christmas Books, 

where we post photos and journal 

memories from each years holiday. 

We are on our second book...each book 

holding 20 years of memories.

Yes, we have done this for 40 years.

We finally chose this years favorite Christmas card.

It is a beautiful watercolor painted by our dear friend Beverly.

She and her husband Rolfe live in Colorado and are the most amazing people.

He is a Presbyterian Minister and she is a nurse.

The world is always better when you have people like this in your life.

Thank you Beverly and Rolfe.

We adore this years card.

Love you beyond the moon.

It Was So Cold

 It was so cold last night, 

17 degrees....

that I got out Larry's "Wave Quilt" for the bed. 

I made this quilt about 5 years ago 

and it is still Larry's favorite.

I hope that you stayed warm last night.

Love you beyond the moon.

The Portrait

Photo: Larry at dinner

 Lighting in the diner was perfect.

I got the picture that I wanted but 

not without some shenanigans.

We were waiting for dinner...

I said: look at me and drop your chin.

This is what he did.

We laughed so hard.

Larry makes everything wonderful.

Even a fun dinner out 

after being snowed in for a week.

Happy Friday.

Love you beyond the moon.
