My many adventures

I survived breast cancer, to travel around the world to some of the many places I've always wanted to go. There are lots more places I still want to visit.

I've been to Scotland, England, Vancouver, Victoria BC, an Alaskan cruise, Yukon, Alaska (Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway), a fab Mediterranean cruise which took us to Barcelona, the Vatican & Rome, the island of Crete, Izmir & Sulcuk, Ephesus Turkey, Egypt and Malta. I have been to Las Vegas, Hollywood LA, Cabo San Lucas, Orlando, Daytona Beach, Tampa, a Disney Cruise to Bahamas and Disney's Castaway Cay island, all over Canada and Hawaii and Pearl Harbour. We can add Cozumel, Costa Maya, Mexico, Belize City and Honduras. What a fabulous way to see the world!
Take the time to do the things you want to do because life is too short and if you wait until you can afford it, you'll likely never go. So get your plans ready and pick a place and start booking your trip. It is so worth it.

Thanks for dropping by. I have lots of posts to put up so stay tuned...

BLOG POST June 2019

Hi Folks! During a convention in Toronto in 2017, my grandson and I visited Niagara Falls, CN Tower and went to Medieval Knights dinner theatre. We had such a fabulous time! I will be posting pictures of that wonderful trip.

I still have a great deal of travel posts to put up. I want our vacations and travel to be shared with you all. I'm not sure of what our travel plans will be for 2017, but for 2016, I rested all the time. Retirement is so awesome!! I was able to take pictures of the summer's Totally Eclipse of the Moom, which I'll share with you here on a post. It was incredible for sure.
I just love summer! I hope the winter will be gentle to us.

Still trying to find my ancesters with the Foran/Forhan name. Apparently two brothers came over from Dublin, one was name Edward who had a son named Edward born in Prince Edward Island and he had a son named William who had my father. I love doing ancestry but it is very frustrating when you can get no further without the "parents" names.

I have so many posts to write about so please keep patience with me. I received a great posting from SiteHoundSniffs.com which looks to be a great animal site. Hope you enjoy it.

My granddaughter Layla made it to Master Chef Canada in 2018 but was cut. She's still a great cook.

My little guy Rialey is now 16 and is 6'2 ". He is so thoughtful of me and helps me a lot.

I had hoped to travel last year or in 2019, but health issues stopped that thought. Now I face another health issue, heart failure. Last May 2018 I was admitted to hospital and went into cardiac arrest. Thankfully they brought me back. With all the great health care, I am in recovery. When you don't have yur health, you have nothing. I think I have about 8 specialist doctors and my MD and I pay nothing, thank goodness!

Take care my blogger friends.

Thanks friends,

Debbie

Live Laugh Love and Bloggings: CafePress Breast Cancer Awareness Giveaway

Live Laugh Love and Bloggings: CafePress Breast Cancer Awareness Giveaway

Unfortunately, this is for US residence only not us Canadians, but as a Breast Cancer Survivor,
I support this site.

I almost died from the side affects of the cancer and chemo. I know how
precious life is and that is one journey I don't want to take again. I travelled
this path once and don't want to again.
I do believe that if anyone is offered to be in a clinical trial, then DO IT!. They
take care of you until you die, you help so many other womend not to have to
experience what you have been through and you feel taken care of.

It is a travel experience you don't want to go through and it is one of the
main reasons why I want to travel and do reviews so much. Each day our feet
hit the floor, we should be saying a prayer of thanks.

My family and I live with this everyday. I still can't look at hair loss. A friend of
mine shaved her head for cancer and looking at the pictures, I am so proud of her,
but it pains me still today. The cancer was found in late 2002, the operation was done
December 31, 2002 and the 2003 year was the year of hell! Chemo, radiation and
going through the change of life but too sick to realize it.
Thank goodness for our Canadian single tier public health care system and the
dedication of the cancer doctors, nurses and other health care workers. The children
I have custody of today appreciate it and so do I.

Remember, if you can join a Clinical Trial, then do so. You could also be saving a life
within your family or even yourself again down the line.
Thanks for listening and reading.
