First day of August!

This is the time of the summer when I start to get geared up for the beginning of school. I love shopping for school supplies and planning how I will decorate my classroom. I'm a little sad because I don't know when I'll be able to teach. We'll talk to the doctor about all that on Thursday. But I'm trying to remember to take one day at a time and to appreciate every day. And not to think much ahead.
But today was another good day for breathing! I think that dumb old tumor is shrinking...I sure feel like I can get more air now.
Janice and Abbie left this morning and I felt sad to see them drive away. They were such a blessing to us! Abbie set up this blog and gave me so many thoughtful gifts. And Janice was such an encouragement to both Greg and myself. And she cleaned my freezer. Only a loving sister could do a yucky job like that.
Thanks, everyone, for your love and prayers.
