To Blog or not to Blog

 

Downy Woodpecker, female, photo above from internet.

On April 16th, 2026, I saw a life bird. We have many woodpeckers here, and I thought I had seen them all. Not true. 

I stood absolutely thrilled listening to the pecking goin on! I had heard it for several days and thought that is a huge woodpecker. NOT SO!

She was only about 4 or maybe 5 inches tall, above my head, I had no camera. I froze and stood and watched her.

I took the old pick from 6 years ago, and asked AI to put black leggings, my pants of choice now, on me and add a downy woodpecker. I neglected to say female so had another go at AI

By now you are wondering what this has to do with blog or not blog.

Simple Answer IS.... I consider my blog a journal, keeping track of what we buy, do, see and used to go... I can search my blog and find out how many computers I purchased and when. My Memory Is Shot! its all here since 2009 and the dogs are on Fourpawsetc blog all 6 of them

FOR NOW I will post once a day what I have in my drafts, I will be unable to read your blogs and I feel really bad. I want these things on my blog.

I am unable to find time to read and comment. 

there will be a week of posts and then I will post as things happen I want on the blog.

I am praying that I will be able to come back to post/read/comment.

I do read emails each day and answer MOST of the time..

I will visit sporadically, as time allows. Love you all, Miss you all! 

Another Bob Update

  we sat facing this wall at the dermatologist office yesterday, waiting for Bob to have his stitches removed and get the results of the genetic test.

  This was the view behind our heads  Bob asked me to let his see his hair, I  showed him in the cell camera that it was fine and turned the camera on myselfWe got Bob's stitches removed  from the cancer he had removed two weeks ago. its healed and doing well. The genetics test she ordered came back positive for;

Muir-Torre syndrome (MTS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the combination of specific sebaceous skin tumors and internal visceral cancers (often colorectal). Key symptoms include, but are not limited to, yellowish, slow-growing skin nodules (sebaceous adenomas) or rapidly growing skin growths (keratoacanthomas). 

He is positive for Muir-torre Syndrome, she suggested a referral to Onocoligist, for a pet-scan and c-scan, because this new cancer is lethal and can be found in many spots internally, and there is test but the Pet-scan to show what is there. The treatment will be worse than the disease, if they find anything. We made the decision at his age and the other ills he has now, we would not do the test.

We are fine, not fretting over this, and the reason I did not post/read and will be taking a break is not enough time to do it.

This week we have had 3 appointments, 1 PT visit, the mobile mechanic came, will come again when he gets parts, I asked him to roll the heavy generator out to the street and sit beside the heavy fan that Ruby helped me carry out there. He wanted the generator, it is gone. I am cleaning out garage to make room for my new mower, I mowed everything, and tomorrow I got for my 6 months check up with primary.

We are fine just no time to read or create blog post.

I will post as time comes available of if there are any new things to report.

Ruby is walking with us a few times a week and is becoming 2nd mom to Beau.

Please pray for Ruby's husband Keith, they recently found an aneurysm  in his head and they are fighting with insurance.
