Blah Blah Blog

Hi Everyone,
Am I blogging?? Reen, I followed the link from your email. I will write for a bit and then send it and then figure out where the heck it shows up. We will just see about this blogging business.
Issues on my mind..
Jesse's wedding. All this time I was hoping he would invite us to the wedding, but now I've received an invitation, and it turns out we can't go. Mitch has to go to summer school, and that interferes with going to the wedding... Mike, take lots of pictures!
Our dog, Tilly, is still with us. Her nasal cancer has been growing steadily but slowly. Meanwhile I found out about a protocol developed at Tufts that is doable financially. We started on it a few days ago, and I think it may be helping. The drugs "starve" the tumor of its blood supply, shrinking it. This has worked well for vascular tumors like Tilly's. We will see... She has already survived much longer than we expected, and most of the time she has been her usual happy, comic self.
That's it for now.
love,
Yade

Blog #1 - Testing, testing...

I've read so much about blogging that I decided it was time to check it out and see what all the fuss is about. My initial thought is to use this area as a communication hub for my family. My 2 brothers, sister and 2 daughters are all wonderful, creative, funny and talented writers, so... what better forum? Can it be used that way? Let's find out!
Mike, Don, Judy, Courtney, Jill... does anyone have a comment, a story, a picture or something on your mind you'd like to share?
