Welcome!

Frank and I have been married for 47 years and have lived in Heber-Overgaard for 39 of those 47 years. Aside from raising 4 exceptional ;) children, we are having a wonderful time being retired (semi-retired), traveling to visit the kids and spending more time doing the things that we never had a chance to do while kids were still at home. We have 15 grandchildren (and hopefully lots more :), that we love to spoil and spend time with. When we are not out and about I love to garden, learn new domestic arts and read while Frank enjoys watching sports and western movies with John Wayne on T.V. He had continued with a part-time Educational Consulting job with vocational education in the surrounding high schools but it ended this year--2012. He still serves on a vocational educational school board (NAVIT). The superintendent likes to keep Frank's brain cells active and thankfully they still work well.We both love spending time with neighbors and friends. Four years ago (Feb. 9, 2009) Frank was diagnosed with multiple myeloma [IgG kappa], a nasty incurable cancer of the bone marrow. In 1992 he had been treated and cured of Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma in his throat by chemotherapy. Recently he was told by his oncologist that the chemotherapy for the lymphoma caused the genetic mutations leading to the mm cancer. They are both blood cancers. He's also been told that the chemo/radiation he has had to take for this cancer will cause another if he lives long enough! Modern medicine for you! Anyway, enough about us, blog away!!
