Can you tell the difference?

My wonderful mother-in-law sent me a new wig.  It is surprisingly light and matches my normal hairstyle pretty closely.  After wearing winter skull caps for the last week, this is actually easier on my head than the caps have been.

Treatments have been going well.  If head itching is the worst complaint I have during chemo, then I am way ahead of the game.  My friends have started making and buying me hats.  I will have to take pictures and post  them - a couple are seasonal silly hats!

Hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving!  I'm enjoying being in the kitchen today and everything is starting to smell nice.

Happy 16 Will!


I think he is happy with his board, boots and bindings!  School and then DMV to get the driver test complete and license in hand.  Bill is also taking Will to the courthouse to get his passport updated so he is all set for the Ireland trip in the Spring.  Busy day.

Happy Birthday baby!

Homecoming

Being the No. 1-ranked team in the state isn't a jinx after all!  Fishermen were victorious in their Homecoming game over Yamill-Carlton Tigers, on 10/7/10.  It was not without injuries as the quarterback Harber received a concussion and receiver Boord ended the night with a broken collar bone.  I spoke with Conor Harber's father yesterday who was under the impression that the homecoming dance was Saturday night - maybe that hit was a little harder than they thought, as the dance was Friday night!  Conor is fine, dad isn't in the "know" on the dance info - sports is his bag.

So, then on to the festivities . . .  Friday was an in-service day so the girls had plenty of time to get ready and the guys were able to take their time for that 20 minute preparation getting into the dress clothes (complete with ties)!












There was a lot of anxiety about getting the boutineers pinned on the guys! The boys had it easy as each chose a wrist coursages.



















Mission accomplished - and they look great!

A large group of friends started the evening at the Tumberello's for dinner (25 in all, I believe). 

The adults served courses of salad, prime rib entree and cheesecake for dessert.  It was a very coordinated affair and very relaxing for everyone involved (yes even the adults!).

 I wish that we had done things like this when I was in high school, it makes the whole evening a lot more fun for everyone.
