A Bit About Now

♥♥♥

Lowell and Laura Lane

I thought you might like to know a bit about my life right now. 

My 16 yo daughter who keeps me running since she hasn't got a license yet, is in Nashville recording her first single. It's going to be available on iTunes. I'll send an announcement out when it's ready. 

I didn't have to run anywhere today! Yay! I got some extra knitting in. I'm going to have to start taking photos and sharing my knitting on the blog. A couple of my chemo nurses invited me to a knitting group. I finally went in January. I've make new friends and learned new things. I've made lots of hats to donate to the chemo center this fall. When I get my size 4 Chiao Goo circular knitting needles in the mail, I'm going to begin knitting the Reyna Shawl. It's a free pattern on Ravelry. If you want to be friends, my name is HarvestLaneLaura

My 20 yo daughter is living at home after staying with a friend part-time last fall. She's taking classes at the community college, and she's teaching private voice, piano, and guitar lessons at the local music company.

My 18 yo son moved out just a few weeks before the semester ended. He will be taking classes at the community college next fall. He works part-time in the field that he hopes to make a career in someday.

My oldest son is 27 and started a new job today.  He's been working outside for years. This position is indoors. I'm sure he will feel much better working in air conditioning.

My husband has been getting a new business off the ground as general manager in addition to his business consulting work.  It all keeps him very busy. 

Lots of changes.

I'm doing alright. Tired a lot from the treatments, but I'm not sick. Just two more. I'll be done July 18. Then it's just blood tests every six weeks and doctor appts every 3 months plus whatever else the doctor thinks I need. I'll have surgery again this fall. It's been a long haul, but God's taken good care of me.

You've all been wonderful to pray for me! I'm not done yet, but I can just see land far on the horizon!

God bless!

Laura

  8. Hi Laura, I've been MIA because I just got back from Nashville. I wasn't singing though, I was visiting my daughter. I can't wait to hear your daughter's first recording. Your children are all doing well, it seems, and you must be very proud of them. You are almost there with your treatments!!!! Hopefully you will feel stronger and stronger soon. I hope your friend is doing better each day.

  13. This was a fun update about your children. I often think that since we are empty nesters and our children live in other places that we appear childless and it is easy to think that of others whose children have flown the nest. I too am sorry you have to go through another surgery. You are so brave and I know you can do it with grace.
