What an amazing week this has been! Starting with Darrel and Kathy, then Mom and Dad and my very cool Retirement Party at Lana's house, and now Betsy and Cam and Sebastian and Julian are here. The weather is beautiful and we're having a wonderful time.
Last night I felt like I was in Grandma Heaven as I watched all five of my grandchildren running and playing in our backyard. The cousins love each other and I love having them at my house.
I loved my Retirement Party. Tons of people from Fernan were there and lots of people I worked with in the past. There were even some parents and two boys who are now finishing 6th grade performed for me. Trey played the piano so well while Colby sang. It made me so proud! And I totally enjoyed the teacher's white-glove performance of a rewrite of one of my good old favorites, "Dancing on the Rooftop". It was almost overwhelming that so many people came. Their kindness and generosity was humbling.
I'm enjoying these last days before I have chemo again. I feel so good and I have so much energy. Then it will be back to the sleepy sicky days after chemo on Monday. But I'm so thankful that the treatment is causing the tumors to shrink. It's worth a few sicky days.
Thank you so much for your love and prayers. Love, Julie

Hi Greg and Julie, my mom shared your blog with me and I have enjoyed seeing pitures of your family and reading what you have been going through. You have been in my prayers and will continue to be.
Julie, do you remember going to the Portland zoo with Denise, your Emily and my Allison? I have seen the picutes of that trip and wondered if Emily remembers it. I hope you are enjoying a peaceful week end. Pam (Berkey, Camp, Spence)
