moving right along...
I got another letter from "PastMe" this morning. I am always pleasantly surprised when one of them appears in my inbox.
Dear FutureMe,
My main concern - I'm trying to get this heart thing figured out. Don't want to go on a med if I don't have to - don't want a pace maker either. It seems like 2017 is a year of hardship - cancer and this heart problem - Trump as president. Discouraging. I keep hoping that the heart palpitations will just disappear, the same way they suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
I am enjoying my chickens so much - I love going out to let them out each morning and checking the levels of their food and cleaning the poop out of their house each day. Each evening I usually sit outside with them and let them roam the yard for a while. I've had chickens before but I don't think I ever got so much enjoyment from them before.
Dave loves Andy. I love him too but I'm not as attached to him as Dave is. It's nice to see him loving an animal this much. I still have moments of wanting my own dog - a nice little small dog. Maybe by the time you get this next year we will have one. A shih tzu I hope. I might even get started looking soon.
Chloe will be getting married in less than a month - it is coming so fast! I hope all goes well - though I'm not worried - she is level headed and not going to go nuts being a spoiled brat wanting an expensive extravagant wedding like some girls do.
My hopes for the next year? Healing from this cancer and its treatments and healing from this heart condition, whatever it is. I hope Dave's macular degeneration stops and gets no worse. I hope Hazel has a wonderful life and gets all that she wishes for as a woman. I know it's going to be hard for her but I want so badly for her to have a good life. Johnny and Alison will have graduated by this time next year and it will be interesting to see where they are.
Well, it will be interesting to see where we are next year!
Best of luck and love,
Mary

Here I am with the little dog I was hoping for one year ago. Perfect! (And it will be even more perfect when I finally get her housetrained :-/ ) All the other worries and concerns I had feel like they have resolved, or I have gotten used to them and they aren't really an issue anymore. Yay. Life is good!
This morning Jan and I walked on the bike trail at Wilhelm. We wanted to see if we could take our dogs with us for once. She took Poppy and I took Rainy and everything was great with that. So we have learned now that that can be an option for us. The dogs got along just fine - really didn't even pay that much attention to each other and we kept moving right along on our walk. We didn't go very far though. My heel is still hurting and I didn't want to push it too much.
