I had a surprise visitor this past weekend...our big secret revealed!

she was scouting our homestead...

and taking pictures of the scenery...

but also taking the time out to give sally the pony some treats...

but mostly taking lots of pictures...

even though it was kinda cold out...

however everybody was watching her...

wondering...

she thought hard...until she made her declaration ~

"mom, can we have our wedding here?"

and of course we said...

Vehemently YES!!!!

(emphasis on YES!!!)

ITs the perfect setup! 

 It will make surgery and treatment go so quickly, because we have a wedding to plan!

YAY!!!! 

Im thinking cathedral canopy tents, potted urns, arbors, fancy lights, candlelit round tables, dance floor,  all under our Montana Big Sky... gotta get some catalogs and go online!

cancer? what cancer?

no, Mr. lymphoma is not invited...

>:p

On another note,

Heres my goodbye call for Baby tonight - they were muddy beasts!

We brushed him and little Sally like the "my little ponies" they are...

(warning, do not do this with a horse you do not trust!)

and ironically,

I received this card in the mail from my dear sister.

"go on with a spirit that fears nothing..."

I called her on the phone, and there was a moment where the silence echoed between us; then she softly told me how amazing and kind you all have been, and that if i could on her behalf, to thank all of you for taking such good care of her little sister - then she sniffled...

shes a retired head librarian so it really means something when she sniffles!

(really; the only emoting they usually do is that peering over their reading glasses to give you the "YOUAREMAKINGNOISESTOPNOW" look ... so sniffling is a BIG DEAL!)

So XOXOX hugs XOXOX from me and my big sis...!

:)
