update

OK, this is not my dad's x-ray, it's Homer Simpson in case you happen to be from another planet.  But since the topic of this post is a brain, I thought the image (somewhat) appropriate.  And at least it is lighthearted (poor little pea-brained Homer).  We have had quite the eventful past few weeks, and unfortunately not in a good way.  The story is long & scary.  Maybe I will share the details later.  But to make that long story very short, my father has brain cancer.  It was a total shock.  He is pretty young & in very good health (other than the brain cancer obviously), so we are trying to keep the most positive outlook we can.  He is home recuperating after 2 brain surgeries and we will know more when we get lab results back.  The last few weeks have felt almost out of body, like I was watching a movie or something.  This is a game changer for sure.  Please keep him in your thoughts right now.  Life has settled down (somewhat), so I hope to be back sharing craft projects, new shop products and recipes very soon!  And please take a moment today to tell your loved ones how much they mean to you.
