Rosebud, our 1958 Ken Craft travel trailer
This is Rosebud. Last summer we had a 1962 Mallard that one was a little to heavy, then we got a 1958 Caveman. That one was a little to small, Then we got a 1969 Aladdin. I named that one Goldie locks. Because it was just right. Then about 2 weeks later Rosebud came into our life. She had a toilet and that made her even better. She was also in all original condition. I love to look at the web site sisters on the fly and tin can tourists. I just love these vintage old trailers. We are going to try to make the toilet room more like a bathroom. One where you sit on the toilet and shower. We are looking into how to do this. That would make Rosebud the best trailer EVER!!! she is named for my great friend Rose who went with me to look at this trailer and also Dan and I loved the movie funny farm with Chevy Chase. He moved to a town called Rosebud and Dan and I have been through a few towns like Rosebud. I will put more photos of her on her for you to enjoy.

keeping me healthy
Well every 3 months I am going to have a CT scan and blood work. Sounds like I should hate it, but I look forward to it. They can just keep telling me that everything is looking good. Most people hate medical tests..... now me I say bring them on. They just give me confidence that I am not sick.
The last one said that I had 2 very tiny tiny spots , one in each lung. My Oncologist Dr said that they were in my last CT scan also. This is a good thing because they did not just appear for the first time in this new Ct scan. She said it looked like they had possible gotten bigger. It could also have been the angel of the camera. They look like small scars and people have them all the time. We are just going to keep a eye on mine. My Radiation Dr called last night and he said he agreed with the first Doctor. I feel like I have a great team watching out for me. The radiation Doctor asked me if he could call me every few months. That he knew that the other Doctor was doing the follow up along with my surgeon still doing follow up and my plastic surgery. I really do have a team of people asking me questions and for me to ask questions to. I certainly feel like I have medical advocates on my side. God bless them

Dan was on the phone last night with Dr Gordon. He thanked him for taking the time in his life to go to college to become a Doctor and to do all the things he did to help me. Not only do I have great Doctors, but I have the most amazing husband. He has never forgotten to thank every doctor I have had for helping me. My son in law Nolan has the same GP doctor as me. When he went in for a appointment with him he to thanked the Dr for helping to diagnose me last time. He thanked him for helping to save my life.
I am so thankful for all the people in my life, My husband, My kids,kids in law, Grand kids, Sister, brother, nieces, nephews, and all my friends who have encouraged me, made me laugh and prayed for me. You all know who you are. The Lord bless you all
He taught everyone how to laugh
Dan's father passed away. Larry Brennan was truly a gentleman. He was such a wonderful father in law and a amazing Grandfather. He had kind words for everyone and he was also very funny. I remember one time after dark out in the yard. Larry asked our 3 year old son if he wanted to hunt for night crawlers. He was so excited they started walking around the yard looking at the ground.Then all the sudden Larry went down on the ground and started rolling around and acting like he was wrestling with something. It was a green garden hose. He convinced Michael it was a night crawler. Another time Michael was being teased by a neighbor kid and Larry told Michael to tell the kid to knock it off or else he would rip his lips off and feed them to the chickens. Michael could not remember all of that so he just opened the front door and yelled at the other kid RIP CHICKENS!!!. We would always laugh and say RIP CHICKENS. On Larry's 50th birthday he wore a white jacket that you could write something to him on. Dan wrote real big on the back of it RIP CHICKENS.
We will always miss him until we are reunited in heaven some day.
