Todays entry:

Women are just tough. When he-men are crying about pain, some woman is just marching on. Take the lady from back home who arranged our cruise. This lady works untiringly volunteering her services constantly to better the senior’s lives that attend our church back home. Her name is Dianne. She arranged the cruise about three months ago. Immediately there after finding out her husband would have to undergo surgery. Within three weeks of the arrangements she learned she had breast cancer. Less than four weeks before the cruise she underwent a mastectomy. Yet, there she was, when we boarded the ship. Yes, she was all smiles and as ever, cheerful.

We talked for awhile and we went to our stateroom and I asked Sherry when Dianne was going to have the operation. Oh, that was a couple or three weeks ago! WOMEN, unbelievable comeback ability. Bud, her husband, was unable to make the cruise, so she brought her mother.
· I immediately thought of Christina’s blog. I ran into it on Debbies’ ‘Boondocks, Flapdoodle and beyond’ sidebar. The title is: The Uniboob Club: BREAST CANCER DOES NOT DEFINE ME AS A WOMAN,BUT MY BATTLE WITH BREAST CANCER DOES!
· That one always reminds me of Sherry’s sister Colette who had a mastectomy, and was a survivor for many years. A tough little beautiful woman. She was a little thing but a picture of strength and courage.
· Another little woman of courage, Juanita C. She also belongs to the club.
· It is just hard to find men who consistently show the strength and courage of women.
Okay so Women are tough in some things, but what about the things that really counts like:
Weightlifting, Football, Baseball, Arm wrestling and Alligator wrestling. YOU KNOW the big stuff. LOL

In reality we men as a whole could not handle having a baby, thank goodness we don’t have to prove it!! But we are tough just ask us!!

I know, not all women are tough, but give ‘em a challenge. WOW!

So here we are back on land, and I am thinking how much I miss the sea. I think Sherry is re considering living on a sail boat. Yeah she is tough, but I am wearing her down. She knows it will be fun. I think about five or six more cruises, she will be convinced. So if you out there hear of a cheap cruise, let me know.

Thanks for reading this important entry.

TEACHER: Woody, what is the chemical formula for water?

WOODY: H I J K L M N O.

TEACHER: What are you talking about?

WOODY: Yesterday you said it's H to O.
