Here we go again!

Hello everyone,
I know it has been a long time since I have written. That is because we have all been so busy there was no time to write. We have gone to Chicago to help Jim get ready to move, then back to Centerville with Annabelle, went to a Dragons game and took Annabelle to Optimists where she crawled under the table again when introduced. That is three years in a row!

Then the rest of the family started to arrive - my sister Barbara, our brother-in-law Pete on Wednesday and Jim got here Thursday evening. He was just in time to cook for the rehearsal dinner we hosted for Ken's and Laura's wedding. Jim did an outstanding job on the food and we had a great evening talking with eveyone's relatives.

The wedding was beautiful with flower girl Annabelle leading the procession and carefully putting the flower petals all along the path. It was truly a beautiful evening. Best wishes to Ken and Laura.

Sunday was the Barclay family reunion in Zanesville. We really enjoyed seeing everyone. Roy's 95 year-old dad is doing very well and looking forward to his second cataract surgery on Aug. 23rd and tossing his glasses aside. Amazing!

It is a good thing, that was my week off from chemo because there certainly wasn't a day free, but today is back to reality - almost 6 hours of reality, but Dr. Calvo, the oncologist is very positive about the treatment and thinks it is probably working. We will find out soon - two more treatment weeks and then a PET scan to see what is happening. That should happen sometime the week after Labor Day.

Thanks for your continued good wishes and prayers. I am sure they are helping the chemicals work.
Margaret
