An Autumn Celebration
And today the mercury topped 100... again! It is September, right??!!
Have mercy!
Longing for some sweater wearing, bonfire snuggling, cider brewing weather...
Please remind me come January how much I love chilly days and nights ;-)
Persevering thru the heat, blessed with family and cupcakes to ring in a Birthday Celebration for Poppy...84 years young!
Happy Birthday Poppy!
You make us smile!!
We Love You!

Battlefield Break - Hello Fall!
Coming home from our whirlwind trip north, we took some beautiful back roads and decided to stop at the historic Deutsch Country Days in central Missouri.
It was a gorgeous fall day, and the grounds were all decked out in autumn's finest... as we hiked and stretched our legs, we happened upon this incline in the path. Just ahead of us, a fellow hiker slipped and took a hard fall. Within seconds, those nearest her quickly lent their aid. People she didn't even know saw her need and stopped to offer help. She wasn't injured badly, but it reminded me of the kindnesses that we all need along this journey.
When we take a fall... when the path becomes steep... when we can't find our way... it is the kindness of others that often graces our lives and makes the hard things bearable somehow.
So, on this last Battlefield Break of our 31 Day Journey, we're celebrating the Beauty of Fall and the Kindness that touches all our lives.
As the leaves gild gold and summer's days grow short, might you find Kindness an unexpected and sweet companion as you journey along the way!

Back Roads and the Journey Less Traveled...
This past weekend found us traveling north for The Auction...
Hearts were tense, treading on tender ground. We knew the emotions we would face as we headed for home...
And so rather than taking the direct route, miles and miles of interstate, Farmer Husband mapped our travel through the Back Roads of Missouri across the Grand Mississippi in the quaint town of Hannibal... It took our minds off the impending work of the coming weekend and provided an anchor of peace to our tattered souls...
The colors were marvelous... the old towns full of character... so much better than the monotous droning of the interstate.
It was an Alternative Route. And it took us from Point A to Point B just as the Traditional Interstate Route, but oh the sights we saw on our Back Road trip...
Perhaps we can begin to think of the Alternative Treatments for pancreatic cancer in the same light.
Not everyone wants to journey the Back Roads. Some are perfectly content traveling down the smooth interstate.
For the next week, our journey takes us to the Alternative Treatments...
Alternative treatments are therapies that extend outside of the normal practices of conventional medicine. Some patients use these therapies in place of the traditional treatments. And some patients are deciding to integrate these alternative treatments in with their traditional treatment plan for what they consider to be a more well-rounded approach.
I have divided the alternative treatments into two groups. This is not scientific...it's simply Jane's way of sorting out all the confusing information out there.
I feel that there are alternative curative treatments and alternative supportive therapies.
For example... the Budwig Diet Protocol claims to be a real solution to curing disease... I would classify this as an alternative curative treatment. But using Barley Life supplements to help maintain blood counts during chemotherapy would be considered an alternative supportive therapy.
We've been pretty honest on the website...mom didn't try very many of the alternative treatments. The traditional route fit her medical background and she felt "comfortable" with that choice. But she did try a few of the holistic suggestions, we'll explore those this week too.
And finally, as we explore these alternative therapies, please, please remember this... Before you attempt any new treatment on your own, we encourage you to talk it over with your doctor and cancer team. I strongly urge you to consider all alternative treatments very carefully. It is true that food-derived antioxidants, minerals and even essential fatty acids play an important role in our health. Making the decision to eat a particular food or natural product for benefit should be done only after much research. The information we are discussing here is for informational purposes only and is not intended as a substitute for advice from a health care professional. It should not be used for diagnosis or treatment of any health problem or construed as a prescription of a medication or other treatment.
We're heading down some Back Roads on this Journey. Join me? You never know what we'll find around the next bend...
In Grace, Always,
Jane
