Infusion #2

 Jim’s infusion went without incident today!

He asked more questions about what the drug he’s taking does and more about the affects of it. And even where the plaque goes that it’s helping to release!  

Good questions. 

He was commenting that nobody ever told him any of this information hd was just going along with it. 

So of course isn’t factual, and makes me sound like a heel. But hopefully they can read between the lines. 

I’m just trying my best not to get into combat over things I can’t control. 




Mothers Day 2026

This year was special to see Courtney expecting her baby during mother’s Day.  He will be here in July!

Jake made steak dinner and we felt so pampered!!

He’s the best son a momma could hope for💜

I love him more than words could ever say  my heart is full!!! 









 

Sam and Dan to Boise

 Sam and Dan did a road trip through Idaho. 

So we got to have them for dinner!

It was so fun to catch up.

We’ve been friends since elementary at Sunnydale in Burien. 










Utah Boyz weekend

 We had the best time with Brett and Trent!

It was a whirlwind but such a great weekend!













Puzzles 🧩

 We have found a love for puzzles. Jim has been able to work on them and his brain is processing how to put them together which has been therapeutic and calming for him. Yay!!!

Anything that helps the anxiety and pacing. Phew!  It’s been good.  And we are getting to be puzzle snobs. 






















Artsy Fartsy

I’ve been trying to keep art and crafting in my life on the regular  I realized it helps me feel grounded when things aren’t normal.  
And lately as we forge new routines nothing feels very normal anymore.

So I’ve been trying my hand at water colors, and practicing in a sketchbook.   It’s fun to try different techniques, and watch the book grow!
These cuties were on a card for my Sis!  
I just love how their personalities came to life!  

My Artsy signature
Elizabeth Ashley
It was only used when I was in trouble as a little girl, but I’ve come to love the grounding of names. 
It’s who I am in my heart and from the beginning… the rest of the story grew along my journey. 
So it seemed appropriate as my art name coming from the heart.
