I had my ANNUAL MAMMOGRAM this afternoon.
Early breast cancer usually does not cause symptoms. This is why regular breast exams are important. As the cancer grows, symptoms may include:
MAMMOGRAMS are much like a
woman's
GUARDIAN ANGEL....
Early breast cancer usually does not cause symptoms. This is why regular breast exams are important. As the cancer grows, symptoms may include:
- Breast lump or lump in the armpit that is hard, has uneven edges, and usually does not hurt
- Change in the size, shape, or feel of the breast or nipple -- for example, you may have redness, dimpling, or puckering that looks like the skin of an orange
- Fluid coming from the nipple -- may be bloody, clear to yellow, green, and look like pus
I was just wondering.......
have YOU had your yearly check? ♥
♥
I mixed together one of my FAVORITE sandwich fillings..
YES, MA'AM....
CHICKEN SALAD ♥
When I was young and still at home,
my mother always used
onions...
pickles...
mayo
in her Chicken Salad. ♥
I liked it OK....
nothing I ever really *got hungry for*, tho.
NOW that I have discovered how GOOD it is
with grapes and pecans,I DO get hungry for it...
and OFTEN !!
I have been really surprised at how GOOD the fruit is this year.
I suppose it's because I am right slap-dab in the middle of the worst drought..
everything is so dry here..
*BIG, HUGE UPDATE
We FINALLY got the BEST rain on 8/11.
a little over an inch and a half in our rain gauge.
♥
It blows my mind that SOME areas aren't suffering from
either DROUGHT.....or EXCESSIVE FLOODING...
and I suppose these are the states that are raising such luscious fruits. ♣
and
toasted pecans...
HARD TO BEAT !

Thanks for the reminder and your chicken salad really looks yummy!
Thanks for the reminder BJ! I am so glad to hear you got some rain! Maybe the long dry spell will be over. I'll be praying for more:>)
It's good to know that you are taking care of yourself and getting that annual mammogram. I had one (and then the diagnostic ultasound) this year.
I have a new feature on my "other" blog. It is Monday Morning Message, just a little start to your week. (The link is not working but you can get there from my profile page)

I am overdue for my mammo so will call and make my appt.! Thanks for the reminder! My FAVORITE sandwich is chicken sald! Sure wish I could run over and SHARE with you:):) XO, Pinky
Yes maam I had one in July!! Your sandwich looks delicious! I have a question. When we lived in Lubbock, there was a very nice department store. I think it was all over Texas but am not sure. I can't remember it's name. I've looked at stores in Lubbock but can't find it so suspect it is no longer around. If you remember, could you please tell me. Thanks!
Best,
Bonnie
So good to know that there was some rain in your corner. Yes, places that have rain are probably doing the best with fruit production...fruits require plenty. Hmmm, chicken salad...running out of here quick.
Yum! Your chicken salad looks so good!
Thank you for stopping by! I'm a new follower of your blog!
Looking forward to coming back and reading more!
You have a beautiful family!!!
Stop by my other blog when/if you get a chance!

I know it's important but I am such a big baby..cause it hurts!
Your salad looks yummy, I do it this way too and then the last minute I love to add cashews. :D
Hi BJ *hugs*
yummy. I have never tasted a chicken salad like that...it does look very delish...That was such a healthy looking plate.
We've had mroe rain lately...off and on here and there when we least expect it during the day for the past few days. But it a very pleasant warm and the grass is green and the flowers pretty.
have a great day..
Judi
congratulations for winning the lovely giveaway at Shelias!
The earlier the detection is always prudent - it worked for Patti this year, and it was caught early and treatment- good for you for getting tested!
We wish that in places like Lubbock that you got more of the rain we got - 8 inches at JFK airport in New York City in the past 24 hours...
Chicken salad, a great thing. My mother always made this with leftover chicken, and it always had celery in it. Probably why I love celery, although the kids aren't too fond of it...
So do we ever get to stop having those?
Yes, it is time for my yearly exam at both ends:) I love chicken salad with grapes and pecans! YUMMY, my favorite!
Thanks for the reminder and for making me hungry! BIG HUGS!
Chicken salad with grapes and pecans. I have never tried it...I still do your mothers verison....has my mammogram Friday still haven't heard back from it.
I like my chicken salad the same way! Yeah for the mammo!!
Oh your chicken salad looks so yummy, BJ. I like mine with grapes or apples too. Wanna come see my twins?...Christine

That looks so good I'll be going to the store for grapes and pecans..

That chicken sandwich looks soooooo very good.
That lunch looks scrumptious!
I've had my mamo, and I'm very grateful to live in a place where every woman gets one - and gets a reminder in the mail to make the appointment.
Hi BJ
Re: Your Comment...
I am not decorating for Fall either. Other than moving a few things around and adding a bouquet of seasonal flowers, now and then, I do no real seasonal decorating these days.
The mantel was dusty, needed cleaning, when it was empty, it needed something, so I put some chickens and things there and called it a pre-fall mantel and took some pictures and yes, there will be some pumpkins up there in October, if I think about it.
It was something to do and it took my mind off things happening here, that I don't necessarily share with people on the blog, the blog being a Pollyanna sort of place. I gave some thought about even sharing about our daughter's emergency surgery, but in the end decided why not write something about what is happening in our family right now. I know there are folks who think I don't have a brain in my head and happily skip through the days. But we are real people with ups and downs just like other people.
I suppose changing the mantel was a diversion. It was something that cost nothing more than a morning of dusting. Dusting and arranging is just one of the times I meditate...pray. I also find cleaning and arranging cathartic.
The mantel is in just one of the rooms of our home with coffee cups and newspapers strewn all around and childrens toys and books and black Labrador Retriever paw prints. We live in our home and enjoy. It was a hard earned home, built with blood, sweat, tears, heartache and heart break.
Thanks so much for visiting our much loved home, a physical santuary, in the real and, at times, not so pretty world.
Great post,I always go every year round Feb/March.This is a great reminder to all!
And that dang sandwich is
"shut the front door" delish!
~Jo
Oh my this is my favorite sandwich yum!

Wise words, BJ & a timely reminder...I'm well overdue! ~blush~ Too busy taking care of everyone else, I'm afraid.
Around here, my friends all add a touch of fresh tarragon to their chicken salad. Its a nice change of pace that you might enjoy.
Hugs & Thank you for the nudge to make my appointment.
fondly,
Rett
Great post, BJ, and no. I haven't had mine this year yet.
And the salad? Looks so yummy. I went for years never having had a fruity chicken salad. Once I had one, no other kind will do for me.
oh wow, i love your blog. it's like an online album/scrapbook. i love chicken salad with grapes. i think the grapes gives a little sweetness to the salad :). thank you for visiting my blog.
I love chicken salad, probably one of my favorites. YOur plate looks soooooooo good. I would love some. My exam is coming up in a couple of weeks. I won't forget. Thanks so much for joining TTT. Hugs, Marty
Hey BJ,
Yep - I'm overdue and keep meaning to make that appointment. I didn't have insurance till three months ago so there is absolutely no reason for me to put this off another day, so thatn's for the remidner.
Oh - that is my FAVORITE way to make chicken salad!! (and we had a super storm Sunday night with quite a bit of rain)!
What a wonderful post. I've had my "M" and glad I did. I love what you made for lunch, those grapes look delish. Thanks for stopping by my Ruby Tuesday. It's always nice meeting new bloggies. Have a wonderful week.
Just got back home from a sad funeral when I saw your pink ribbon. Lise was a beautifiul cousin who did go for her mammogram 5 years ago and was operated for breast cancer at that time. She has been battling it ever since and it finally took her away at the tender age of 57. I'm still feeling kind of numb.

Definitely go for my annual mammogram without fail.
Have never had chicken salad with grapes and pecans, but will for sure make some!
Jeannette
