Adventures

It's sad in my house without Janice, Abbie, and Zoë. But Emily and her kids are here today and Em is doing her magic on my house while the kids are playing.

I had some fun adventures with Janice and Abbie. I know Abbie wants me to tell you about my Target adventure. Okay, you must understand that I am getting so much better at driving around the little electric carts. I haven't bumped into anyone or anything in a long time. So we were at Target and I was excited because my eyelashes are long enough to wear mascara again. So Janice was telling me which isle to go to. There was a really cool display of a new kind of mascara on the end of the isle and I was looking at it while I was turning and you guessed it...I missed the isle and banged into the display. It seemed like things were flying everywhere and falling apart. I looked at Abbie and said "That wasn't a bump, it was a CRASH!" It wasn't as bad as we thought. Things went back together easily. But it sure was embarassing.

While Janice was here we also went to Costco where I didn't bump into anything.

Greg and I are planning to go to Oregon tomorrow and I can hardly wait! It will be so great to be at Mom and Dad's and enjoy their garden and beautiful flowers.

Hope you are having a good weekend. I am so grateful for your prayers. Love, Julie

Hi Julie,
It's Bridget here.
I have been gone a lot this summer - fly fishing and mostly up in Canada on the coast on Denman Island where I have the family cabin. It has been beautiful here, just like the weather you have had on the Oregon beach.
I have been thinking about you a lot lately and was glad to catch up on your blog.
I agree with you about how great the Radiation folks are at the cancer center.
I am sending you all my love and perseverance and laughter. I would love to see you when I get home in August. How does huckleberry peach pie sound?
Bridget PS. My retirement date is Dec.1st - aargh!

Julie, I just missed you in Oregon. I was there July 17 through the 27th. Left the morning of the 17th. Darn! I'm so glad you were able to visit with everyone. And I agree with you - I love Costco!Suzi
