A very special request after the contest info…

Brenda’s giving away some lovely sock yarn in belated celebration of her blogiversary. To participate, simply leave her a comment – and if you would include condolences for Rip, her family’s kitty who just turned 20 and is nearing his end, it would be much appreciated.


My next-door neighbor Carol is just a bit older than I am. She’s the one who takes care of the kitties when I travel to the cabin or take longer journeys. Last week, she was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma. Considering that they at first thought she had aggressive lung cancer, this is relatively good news. Anyway, Carol had a bone marrow biopsy yesterday and will probably start chemo in the next few days. I’m helping her out as much as I can (picking her up from appointments and such), but what I’d like to ask all of you for is your good thoughts and/or prayers for Carol as she prepares to start her treatment. I completely believe that all of the positive energy you sent my way last fall helped me get better after my surgery. I will pass along comments to Carol. Please, no scary stories, ok? This is all about positive, healing energy.

Many thanks to all of you.

  1. I will most definitely keep her in my thoughts. I just finished knitting a chemo cap for T’s step-sister-in-law who has 3 chemo sessions left. I hate cancer.

  2. Let’s see… I have 3 bunnies equals 12 bunny feet… Since all the bunnies are alive and happy they should be doubly lucky. So, tonight I will rub the lucky bunny feet and think of Carol.

  3. I’m sending positive energy. My uncle was just diagnosed with lung cancer as well. Everyone, just send goodness out to the world.
