Well I am finally updating the blog. I've been home from the hospital for a couple of days and am still feeling exhausted. I'm doing better than ever. Got my medications adjusted and some much needed rest and my

diabetes under control.

Learned so much about diabetes and also want to share with those that don't already know, Since Jan, this year I have lost 66 pounds. I AM SO PROUD OF MYSELF. I just finally am in control of food instead of food controlling me. I have 44 more pounds that I want to lose so this time next year I will be older but oh, so much more less of me.:)

This is a Halloween WAY past. That masked "man" is an adopted son of ours. OK, not legally but love him just the same and are still in touch with him and wanted to share this picture of that special Halloween. In case you can't read his name it is Aaron Freeman. We lived on Adak one of the Aleutian Islands off mainland Alaska in this picture.Alex one year ago. Alex was a Monkey and had a long skinny tail that you can't see in this picture. He was getting ready to go trick or treating.

What fun and look at Alex's new "wig"
