"Yet those who wait for the Lord will gain new strength: they will mount up with wings like eagles, they will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weary."
Isaiah 40:31

Social Butterflies

Yes, today we were social butterflies! A friend of Greg's, Bill Essary, wanted Greg and I to enjoy going out to a nice dinner. He took care of all the arrangements and the check, and we had a very nice and delicious lunch at Beverly's. Thank you, Bill! Tonight we split a salad at Azteca with some friends.

I'm breathing very easily these days. Haven't used the nebulizer once today! Thank you, Lord!

"But we have this treasure in jars of clay to
show that this all-surpassing
power is from
God and not from us." II Cor. 4:7


Thank you for your continued prayers. Love, Julie

It's so good to know that you're breathing easier!
What a nice verse, and how true it is (of course!). I love you, Mom.
Love, Betsy

Hi Julia, this is your cousin David Camp. I just want to tell you how much I have always admired the way you can play the 88. I can practice the rest of my years and never achieve the level you have. I hope that still brings joy to your life. I do remember as a young boy listening to you play and you are an inspiration to me. Just had to say that because you may not know what an affect you have had on me. I pray for you and your family thru these times and I believe in God's will. Godspeed to you and your family, they are all so important to me. Keep your chin up, I have faith that you can come thru. happy trails.

I like agreeing with my cousins. Julie, Darci learned to play the piano because of you. I learned the piano because of you. Without the sound of those tinkling ivorys, as you played Chopin and Beethoven and the likes, (Even if it interupted my Quick Draw MacGraw cartoon show) I wouldn't have learned a note. We really do change our lives on models of people we admire, don't you think? (I don't think we can personally ever really know how our lives effect others.)Then Miah eventually played, and Darci just naturally learned too. But just within our extended family isn't it obvious how much your life has changed us? "Julie, play!"

Hi Julie and Greg. We just wanted to let you know we have been reading and trying to keep up with how you are doing. We have been praying for you and hope your few weeks off of chemo are going well. We wanted to say thanks again for letting us hang out with you guys in early June (we had a great time)...and the chicken salad sandwich you made for us has now become a Mastroberardino Favorite...in fact we make a Costco run just for the ingredients.
Hey, did your flowers ever come up? Our tomatoes survived but we are still waiting for them to get ripe?
Love Tony, Kathleen Hope, Kallie and Luke
