Its Deja Vu All Over Again


Well I don't want to be too repetitive but in case people are curious as to what is going on lately with Mark I will catch you up. Once again, my dad went in for his second round of chemo and yet again he had an allergic reaction. The doctors said that there was a very slight chance that this would happen, and look how lucky...it happened again. And of course, after he recovered from the allergic reaction, he went on and finished it all up like a good boy.

beyond just them chemo, dad also had an MRI scan on his brain to make sure the cancer hadn't by chance spread to his brain. Thankfully, the results came up negative, so that is one less thing to worry about! It is strange how recently negative news seems to be positive news. I pray that more and more negative news turns out to be for the best, so lets keep our fingers crossed and our prayers abundant.

I am looking to put a little twist on this blog for a few days. Can an old friend or relative tell a funny story with my dad as the culprit. I don't know about anyone else who makes multiple visits here everyday, but I wouldn't mind a little change, while my dad gets back his stamina so he can make another entry into the blog. Anything at all would be appreciated, the more embarrassing the better.

As always, thank you all for your prayers and continued support. It certainly does not go unnoticed.

Ok Dan, You want something? Who do you think taught my sister and I about the birds and the bees? Our big, and I do mean BIG, cousin Mark!

PS: Was he not the image of Paul McCartney?

As all my cousins know... I can't remember much of our childhood. Sorry to say. But for sure Mark did not teach me or Barbara about the birds and the bees! Gee we sure wish we were at that teaching lesson!
Karen you mean TALL not BIG !


Love to all, Heidi

Dan,

I'm afraid that any stories about your dad that I could relate would involve things that were illegal back in the '60s and early '70s. And I wouldn't want to embarrass my old friend. But ask him about a drive back from Yonkers one night, when he uttered the words "Nervous, officer."

Mark, I will make sure to ask about Yonkers on Sunday...this should be interesting. And I am sure all of those things that were illegal in the 60's and 70's are completely legal now. Based on those pictures I posted, I can only imagine.
