Hi All! Sally's suggestion re Hearst Castle sounds great. I'm happy to
reserve now...or wait...whatever works for the group. So sorry we'll miss
Kathy & Anne & Amy & maybe Carolyn in Oct. That's a lot of Pals---should
we reschedule the date?

Amy--on your trip you've gotta get to Machu Picchu---it's fascinating.
And maybe a small detour to the Galapagos Islands?--they're wonderful!
Better than the Medford Mall!

July/Aug has been a challenge (I'd rather be a librarian & world traveler
than a nurse!) Have been helping husband Bob deal with prostate cancer,
doctors, decisions, recovery from surgery, etc. Radiation may be
next---uncertain at this point.

Am currently reading the first book I've read by Jhumpa
Lahiri--Unaccustomed Earth (2008)--a well written series of loosely
connected short stories about Indian emigrants in the U.S.

Looking forward to our get-together! love, Jan
