Harry Potter

I'm just a little behind the times I guess...but the first Harry Potter book came out in 1997 and I'm reading it now. Fantasy books aren't usually my favorite, but I'm enjoying it. Historical fiction is my favorite.

You probably figured out that if the most exciting thing I had to write about was that I was reading Harry Potter, I'm having trouble figuring out what to write about today. My life hasn't been very exciting this week. Chemo on Monday, felt good on Tuesday, felt lousy on Wednesday, feel good today. That pretty much sums it up.

Here are some things I'm looking forward to: *Julie Powell is coming in a few minutes and we're going to have lunch. She's a great friend and fellow music teacher. She'll catch me up on all the music teacher news. *Tomorrow morning Emily is coming over and we're going to plant flowers! *Darrel and Kathy are coming tomorrow and I can hardly wait to see them. We'll share grandchildren stories and have a good time together. *Next weekend Betsy and Cam and the boys plan to come to visit. I am so anxious for that! *My friend, Lana, is planning and hosting a retirement party for me that will take place at her house next week. Mom and Dad will be able to be there and it will be wonderful to see people I've worked with. But a little bit sad too.

Thank you for praying for us. I'm so thankful for my family and friends. I feel so blessed. Love, Julie

I love that you are reading Harry Potter. I finally read the series last year because I had so many questions from parents. I am glad that you are feeling good to read. :) Love you Julie! Praying for you!

So much excitement to look forward to! We can't wait to see you, and I know you'll have a great time with all of your visiters! I love you.
Love, Bets

Hi Julie! I'm a lame sister and haven't talked to you in awhile, but I want you to know I love you and pray for you. :) Wish I could be there for your retirement party.
Love, Liz
