Fight like a Girl!

We got about 1.3” of rain yesterday evening, and then another 0.5” overnight. Guess John’ll have to mow our weeds in another day or so. But that and today’s overcast has kept our temperatures in the 80s today.

Our swim group went to lunch today to say goodbye to one of us who is moving to Rochester, NY, next week. Lunch was good, but we hate to lose a friend.

Two ladies I know from the Y are newly diagnosed with breast cancer - one is the great employee who greets us (literally) with a song every morning, and one of our sometime swimmers. The swimmer had her surgery today, so we won’t know about that until later. The other had her tattoo/drawing session a couple of days ago, and will start her radiation about the first of August. And she’s going on an Alaska cruise/Seattle visit with some girlfriends for two weeks beginning Sunday. Good girl! I’ll of course give them any help I can.

Both of these ladies are being treated because of irregularities found on routine mammograms, and confirmed with biopsies. Remember, ladies (and guys, encourage your ladies) to “Fight Like a Girl” and get your annual mammogram!
