Can it be Wednesday already?

This week is flying by! Busy, busy. We had a short but great visit with Tim, Mika, and Elijah. Tim has to teach till June 17 because of making up four snow days. Whew. It's so fun to talk to him about teaching. He gets so excited when he talks about it. They are such conscientious parents! And they just love toys that make lots of noise in case you were thinking about giving Elijah a gift. Just kidding. Elijah is a sweet boy and it was so fun to watch him play with my dog, Boris. And one more thing, Elijah can read lots of words!

Mom and Dad came Saturday night and left Sunday morning. They were on their way back home from Amanda's graduation in Billings. They are amazing.

I went to Dr. Denny, my family doctor, this morning for my "yearly" check-up. The really fun one. I'm in great health except for stupid cancer.

Jake is coming from Nashville for a week at the beginning of July. He'll be able to go to his 10th high school reunion and celebrate his 28th birthday with us! Hurray!

I felt great today! Yesterday I had to go to get an I-V of magnesium and this time I really noticed a difference in how I felt before and after the magnesium. Dr. Denny told me that low magnesium causes muscle weakness and now I understand why I was feeling so lousy and tired before--and why I feel like my old self today!

Thank you for your love and friendship and prayers. Love, Julie

Great news that you are in "good health". Ellen and I just got back from mom and dads. I was able to attend the Harp guitar retreat, and connect with a dear friend and mentor: John Doan. His guitar retreat was held just south of where Ray and Pat Meyers live. John's home overlooked Independence and Monmouth. It was great to spend the time and think about nothing but "strings" for three days. I learned a lot. Except that now I want to play Harp Guitar. John let me play many harp guitars. He happens to own what may well become the standard harp guitar.

Darci, Mom and Dad, and Ellen and I all attended her OHSU consultation last Teusday. We will decide soon, or Darci will, what to do about her problems that currently happening. Maybe nothing. We shall see.

I must say a week away from home makes you appreciate your home. Except that when you get back, there is lots of work to do!

Call you soon,

Jerry
