Went to Toledo Bend this weekend to do some work at Ronnie and Melba's camp. Holy Camoly, was it WINDY! The lake looked like the gulf instead of a lake! I spent the whole weekend in the house. Ricky spent most of the day, Saturday painting the master bathroom. The chemo kicked my butt this week and I was very tired most of Saturday. Good thing Blanche came to helped cuz I loose a little more stamina each week. (And it'll take weeks post chemo to build back up) The kids played outside, although, no body went fishing. It was even too cold for a campfire so we made our SMORES in the microwave and lit a fire in the fireplace instead, which Matt thought would exempt him from playing the guitar, but after a little coaxing and a lot of wine he agreed! Included the video with this post.
About Me
- Madelene Boudreaux
- Rayne, Louisiana
- You've got to be kidding me, I have Breast Cancer? My name is Madelene Boudreaux. I just had my 51st birthday and my present was cancer. Although it wasn't the present I was expecting, I have decided to embrace it as such. My life as it existed is changed. Even though my diagnosis is that I have the most common breast cancer you can have (80% of the women who get breast cancer have this one) and the actual tumor was only 1.2 centimeters and there was only a microscopic spec in one lymph node... things just changed overnight. I feel confident that I will be healed with all the surgery, chemo and radiation, as well as the prayers, the shift in lifestyle and health changes, all of this with God as my Healer overseeing the whole plan. Most importantly, sunsets are more beautiful, my children are more precious and I cry for everything. Such clarity prevails, where life was blurry. I know my healing will come gently through trusted medical professionals, faith in a loving God and prayerful friends. I am surrounded by love with my family of eight kids and a great husband and a community of kind spirits!

Very WINDY at Toledo Bend!
Went to Toledo Bend this weekend to do some work at Ronnie and Melba's camp. Holy Camoly, was it WINDY! The lake looked like the gulf instead of a lake! I spent the whole weekend in the house.

Good thing Blanche came to helped cuz I loose a little more stamina each week. (And it'll take weeks post chemo to build back up) The kids played outside, although, no body went fishing. It was even too cold for a campfire so we made our SMORES in the microwave and lit a fire in the fireplace instead, which Matt thought would exempt him from playing the guitar, but after a little coaxing and a lot of wine he agreed!
