!

Just received your package. It arrived safe. Thank you for your thank you note. I hope you can communicate your birthday doings on blog. Great about your two new dogs. Look forward to meeting them. I know how I will increase the size of your necklace (by two inches) that will fit in perfectly with the design. Not to worry. It will be in the mail in a couple of days! Don't need financial help with visit to see Emily. I got a lump sum of retroactive disability so I am covered on that angle, but thanks for generous offer. I have a feeling Emily will be okay and transplant won't happen for at least a couple of months and, hopefully, by then, she will be living in Chicago. It just means I have to put off visiting Boston for another year as the emotional wear of a second Chicago journey will render me unable to bounce back for yet another trip. I so enjoyed seeing you and siteseeing with you in Chicago. Seeing you and Bill and Leah really took the edge off the trip for me. Talk to you soon. Love Judie
