Happy belated melanoma awaremess month

As you all know, May is melanoma awareness month.  It is the beginning of spring/summer type activities.  I have been wearing my stupid looking cowboy hat out when working in the yard, yes I said working in the yard.  Now keep in mind that my version of working in the yard is mainly yelling at the kids to do something while Peggy gets all the work done and the kids and I just cause each other grief. 

But my shoulder is healing.  Slowly but surely.  I am up to 5 ish pounds I can do curls with.  If I am a good boy, I should be released around mid September.  Every once in a while I do forget and do something silly like reach for a closing door, or punch Caity in the arm.  Bad news for me on both of those. 

We are taking it easy on the cancer front, the out of sight, out of mind, attitude.  My next scans are in July.  So until then we just don't worry about it and keep planning for our future. 

It rained here today, as it has for the past few days, what a welcomed event!  The back field is sprouting forth some alfalfa.  The girls just cant wait to haul hay again.  Too bad for me I will likely be in shape to haul it next year. 

I am also doing a weight loss blog, not for the faint of heart, or weak of stomach, there are pictures of a really fat guy shirtless on that blog.  http://taleoftheshrinkingman.blogspot.com/ 

If anyone has a set of dumbbells they would like to loan me for a while (someone close)  I would appreciate it.  They need to start at 10 lbs and go up in 5 lbs or less increments.

Anyway, life is good, we are blessed, and sorry for the long spaces between posts, but that's a good thing right?

Have a Merry Christmas and a lovely day,
Andy.
