It isn’t looking good. It would appear that the tumor in my breast has spread into my bones. I’ve got another scan — this one a very specific PET scan AND they can’t schedule me until the 17th. I bet if I were a pitcher for the Red Sox they’d find time sooner. If one … Continue reading UPDATE!| Serendipity – Seeking Intelligent Life on Earth
One-to-Three Photo Processing Challenge-September 2025 Moving on into fall. The weather has cooled down, though there will still be warm stretches. September can be very warm — as it was the year we were married. Even my wedding dress felt too heavy. How do I feel about this? Well, as I’ve said before, I do … Continue reading ONE-TO-THREE PHOTO PROCESSING| Serendipity – Seeking Intelligent Life on Earth
Share Your World : 1st September This past month has felt totally surreal. I’m sure it will be more “real” as time slouches along. I’m expecting difficulties. Right now? I’m happy to be alive and in touch with friends. Here are this week’s questions: Is your home heated by radiators, underfloor heating or an open fire? … Continue reading SHARING MY WORLD – STRANGE DAYS!| Serendipity – Seeking Intelligent Life on Earth
This is August 2025 Photos by Garry and Marilyn Armstrong Notes: If I am IN the picture, figure someone else (not me) took it. If Garry’s name is the signature, HE took the picture. The ones in the restaurant and at the light show? Some talented passing stranger and thanks, whoever you are!

There are, it would seem, a LOT of things wrong with me. I knew that, but I didn’t think any of them were going to kill me — yet. The cancer is my breast is ONE thing, but the growth on my right hip is another thing. No one thinks it’s benign and they are … Continue reading NOT SUCH GREAT NEWS| Serendipity – Seeking Intelligent Life on Earth
Today I saw the radiation doctor, the surgeon and the genetics counselor as well as the “Navigation Nurse” who is taking care of the many, many phone calls and organizing what appears to be a potential major producation. I’ve got a CT scan tomorrow and another ultrasound on Friday. Both are mercifully timed for the … Continue reading IT COULD BE A LOT WORSE| Serendipity – Seeking Intelligent Life on Earth
Sharing my world 25th August The surgeon was pretty encouraging. She thinks (as do I) that this is not a recurrance but a new growth. Not the offspring of the two previous tumors, but an outlier. Or whatever they call it. I’ve got another, more focused ultrasound on Friday, but I will meet the whole team … Continue reading AND SO IT GOES| Serendipity – Seeking Intelligent Life on Earth
Today I will be seeing the surgeon. Finally. I feel like I’ve been waiting forever, but it has been three weeks. It feels like more. I don’t think I’m going to have a lot to say u…| Serendipity - Seeking Intelligent Life on Earth

Share your World: 11th August The weather has cooled down. The tomatoes on the deck, unmolested (so far) by birds or beasts, are turning red. I doubt they’ll make it to the table because we e…| Serendipity - Seeking Intelligent Life on Earth
Never dismiss the power of biotin. Since I started taking it — about 2 years ago — my hair has turned glossy. It has thickened. It flows. One hefty unit of biotin along with other vitam…| Serendipity - Seeking Intelligent Life on Earth
The Changing Seasons, July 2025 This has been a strange month. We’ve had a lot of activity, all medical, dental or veterinary. Garry, me, Duke. The rest of the family have had issues too. I g…| Serendipity - Seeking Intelligent Life on Earth

I watch a lot of TV. Probably too much. I’m fond of action shows and I’m especially fond of all the comic book shows. The one thing all these shows have in common is at least one computer gen…| Serendipity - Seeking Intelligent Life on Earth
