Merry Christmas...here's cancer

We just found out the other day that a spot on my mother's arm is actually melanoma or skin cancer. The doctor removed it and we are hoping that they got it all. Unfortunately, we won't know for sure until she sees the dermatologist and the oncologist after the first of the year.

My sister will be visiting us next week from NY with her husband and 9 month old daughter. We are looking forward to spending time with them before he is deployed to Afghanistan in late January.

The Double Eagle Casino is still closed and some of the employees are having a rough time this Christmas. One of them that I know is a single mom of 2 kids. She is surviving on less than $300 a month cash from child support and maybe that much in food stamps. She is still hoping that the casino will reopen so she can go back to work. She worked there for 7 years I think.
