ONE HAPPY FOOL

On 01.02.02, I was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer. Too late for surgery, I had chemotherapy, which failed. In May the chemotherapy was changed and I was soon in remission which was celebrated and welcome and lasted nine years - until October 2011. There was progression in 2011 so more treatment was indicated and I am now back in partial remission. But I'm not only a cancer patient - I also enjoy my family, walk my dogs and am learning to draw and paint. Life is good!

Because our environmental training class yesterday focused on reptiles I decided to combine the two interests and drew this guy.  On our hike we saw several Western Fence lizards (they aren't yellow) and five Pacific rattlesnakes.  They were being, uh, pacific....

    It was fun! I got a little frustrated with the limitations - only one color - but got into the challenge. - Barbara
