He has been fighting acc cancer since 2016. We had a scare this month but looks more like kidney stones. That was bad but better than the alternative. Has a brain mri next month. He has been stable since he had gamma knife a year ago. No new growth if tumor. Hopefully it stays that way.

I have a pewter figurine of a castle that is guarded by a giant dragon that has wrapped his wings around it for protection. When I saw it, I had to have it and it’s still displayed in my house after all these years.

with pennies and red wrapped candies inside and we would celebrate every New Year with a party. Yum!!! The school where I was teaching had a large Asian population and I was so glad. They taught me a lot about their cultures.

The Dragon is a special year. I'm a Tiger and it's characteristics are pretty accurate as far as I am concerned. They are even closer to my personality than my astrological sign.
