This blog was designed at the beginning of 2019 as a vehicle to allow family and friends to stay connected across the miles, to keep abreast of the joys and disappointments in each other’s lives and, of course, to share the joy of eating interesting and delicious food. Well, it didn’t work out. While Coco was probably a little eager (as always) the Carbohydrates were pretty much uninterested in participating. After receiving negative and, okay I’ll say it, annoying comments regarding my endeavor, the joy of creating and maintaining such a blog was gone. Sooo . . . . A Change!

NEW FOCUS — Last Wednesday I received the results of my annual breast MRI (my original diagnosis was in September 2015), and they were not good. It appears that I have a metastatic lesion on my sternum. I’m not yet able to put the extent of my disappointment into words, other than to say that I’m so sad at the thought of leaving this beautiful world — ever. I have no more information at this time. I head to the Huntsman Cancer Institute in SLC on Tuesday for further evaluation.

Now I need Carbohydrates more than ever! The people kind, not the food kind. The people who support me through whatever is to come my way and who help me see the joy in the world to the end of my days — which I’m still hopeful will be years from now.
