This is a very special Pink Saturday. Beverly at How Sweet The Sound, our P.S. hostess  has teamed up with Kelee Katillac and several others to help raise money for an awesome organization.

Before you leave I want to share our personal blessing with you. At times I'm baffled about coincidences and the timing of life events.  My husband has had a brain tumor for well over ten years. Recently we were told there is a change in the tumor. On Wednesday, August 10 he had surgery for a biopsy and debulking of a brain mass. You may be thinking, "How is that a blessing?" It is a blessing because the surgery went well and he was taken out of ICU to a regular hospital room Thursday afternoon. He may be coming home Saturday! It will take a while until the final pathology reports come back. We know it is a high grade tumor but we are hopeful that it will respond to radiation and chemotherapy treatments.
