Well, we owe a lot of thanks to all of you who have been keeping Carlene in your prayers because yesterday we got the test results back, and she is in remission and everything looks great!!! God certainly heard all of our prayers and blessed her with a clean bill of health!!! I really can’t express into words properly how much all your notes, thoughts and prayers have meant to us all at the Eaves home. It takes a lot to send these encouraging words, especially to someone you don’t know, and I just can’t believe how much love and generosity we recieved from so many friends here on the blog!!!! Our home is always open for a BBQ, so if you’re in our area, please drop a note and come on by. Thanks again from all of us!!!
The Eaves family
Carlene is the current Leona Valley Gymkhana queen and all of this hit her about two months after winning the crown. Here she is just two weeks ago, running the American flag for the opening of the Leona Valley Gymkhana wearing her wiglet and hat and hoping it all doesn't blow off during the run!!!!
Eavesdropping with Johnny 
That is great news John, I am sure all of your family is now ready to look forward and leave this all in the past.

Thanks barrie and she has about two more months to wear her crown before her years up
Fantastic news and it’s great to see her looking so relaxed and happy. She’s stunning. 🙂
I’m gonna be away for a while, so I hope you and everyone else on the blog have a great couple of weeks. Keep up the good work, John!
Where are you going!!!!! The blog will fall apart with you gone and most likely be off line when you get back!!! Where ever your going have fun and thanks for all you’ve said about carlene!
lol, I hope it doesn’t! I’m looking forward to catching up on all of yours and Doug’s posts when I get back from China and Hong Kong. My cousin’s working out there, so I’m taking up his offer to come and stay for a little while. Really excited. 😀
Take care. 🙂
Enjoy yourself!! Sounds like an awesome opportunity!!! I’d like a sarong. 🙂
The weather is kinda horrible here right now. Hot and damp and we just had a typhoon last week. Hahaha.
Sounds exciting! Well, the typhoons do anyway. Sunshine all the time can get a bit much. I’ll see if they have any nice sarongs. 🙂
Wait till I tell my wife the great news!!!!! I’m so happy for you and your family!
I knew this would work out! Yahoooo!!!!!
Did someone say BBQ? 🙂
Thank you and I did<<< come on over for some lil smokies hot from the grill!
That is fantastic news! I’m not the praying type, but you and Carlene have been in my thoughts every day. Now finish that pesky cancer off and go have a vacation!
Thank you Syd for always thinking about her, really means a lot!
Yea! and what a wonderful pic! God bless all you guys, so happy for Carlene and the whole Eaves gang! 🙂

I’m very relieved to read this news!!!
I check every new starship of your blog, but nothing in the world compares to such a good news! You know, these are the moments, one realizes what’s really important 🙂
All the best wishes 🙂 🙂
Thanks and it’s funny that the driving force behind the blog was for me to relieve the pressures of what was going on with Carlene!!! In many ways it has been a blessing with all the new friends that have come my way with so many kind things to say about Carlene’s condition!!! Thanks M Max
Wonderful news!!! Carlene is as beautiful as she is courageous, and obviously a talented athlete as well. Here’s wishing her the best with her continued recovery and a welcome respite from all that stress for your whole family. Take a moment to relax. You all deserve some long overdue rest and happiness.
I say with complete sincerity may you all Live Long and Prosper.
Peace!

Your very kind and I thank you so!!!
That’s terrific news John. So glad to hear that Carlene is recovering well 🙂
What OUTSTANDING news! And on a day when I sorely needed to hear some. John, I am rejoicing with you and your family and I am so happy that Carlene got such a good report. God bless her!
I am so glad that this is not just a very optimistic (and very nice) photo but that Carlene has every reason to be so happy.
(I wonder whether the customs would confiscate my German sausages if I wanted to come to the BBQ.)
No fear, Bernd! If they won’t let you through with the goods, I’ll make sure I have some extras for you, that is if the local variety would be good enough! 😉
They might but if they do we have home grown sausage in just about every flavor!!!
John, this is absolutely great news. I was eagerly awaiting your next entry and I simply can’t imagine anything better! This is great news, you’ve got a tough daughter and i’m sure she does the Eaves family proud!
John, I’m so happy for the good news your family has received. Here’s to her continued good health…oh, yeah, can we throw a few Brats on the BBQ???
Congratulations on the fantasitc news 🙂
That is great news, Mr Eaves. Cheers for a courageous family!
Great to hear that all is well! I can imagine the last few weeks were tense, going through the treatments and waiting for results, but I’m sure everything will be fine from now on!
That great News, the pic looks like she having the time of her life.
I love to take up the offer of the BBQ, but seeing as I am on the other side of the pond, I won’t be able to take it up. however if you are ever in the UK you and the family are more than welcome to come over for one at mine.
Hey John, good to be back and its good is hear the good news on her. I hope for the best! 😀
Truly wonderful news. All the best.
Off topic: does she own the horse? It’s a nice looking horse.
that is her horse and his name is Levi
YaHOOOO!
That’s great news and she looks fantastic! Someday we’ll never have to worry about cancer again, but until then, stories like Carlene’s will be an inspiration for us all.
Hi,
Finally worked up the chutzpah to de-lurk and start posting 😀
All your art is crazy-awesome and inspiring, but this is truly fantastic news.
All the best to you and your family!
This news must have been like Christmas morning for the family! I’m so happy for all of you! 🙂 Congratulations to Carlene for staying brave and tough through the whole ordeal. From the sound of it, she had a great support system.
You mentioned that you guys did something with Make A Wish. I’d love to hear what Carlene got to do (those stories always make me tear up) if it’s not too personal. 🙂
Mmmmmm….BBQ….my all time favorite meal. I love, no LOVE to grill. Home grown sausage, eh? Is it available for purchase? I’d love to sample some Eaves-made sausages!
John,
I can’t tell you how happy I am to hear the news that Carlene is in remission. This is absolutely wonderful news. She’s a beautiful and strong young lady and I am so happy to hear the positive prognosis. Congratulations my friend to you and yours. Thoughts and prayers,
Pat A.
That’s great news John, I’m so happy and glad for Carlene.
It’s great to see her up, about and happy. Praying for lots of clean check-ups in the future.
Hey that’s awesome news John, She’ll back to normal in no time!
Hey everyone,
I just wanted to send a HUGE ‘thank you’ to everyone for supporting me and keeping me in your thoughts and prayers. I appreciate it sooo much!!!! God Bless!
Love,
Carlene
You’ve definitely been in my prayers these past several months, and it’s just awesome to see God answer! You are a beautiful young lady and with talents yet to be used to their fullest. Go get ’em!!
No problem, Carlene! Just sO happy you are through it all and back to your healthy self! God bless you as well Sweetie! May you Live Long and Prosper in health and all you do in life! 🙂
Love,
deg
You’re more than welcome Carlene!
Here’s hoping that the future’s as rosy as today.
All my best.
Barrie.
John and Carlene! That’s fantastic news. I am so happy! Carlene, you probably don’t remember me from the art department! My goodness! you were just a little girl! I was knocked out by your picture. You’ve grown into a beautiful young lady!
Best Wishes!
