I have been getting ready for my trip to Europe.  I cannot wait to go!! I am going with several friends for 13 days   I think I will visit 5 countries...how exciting.  I will have two of my best friends in my room, Patti and Lisa.  So the sleeping quarters will be tight, but the outings will be a blast!!

I think we will have a good (maybe great) turnout for the Meso Walk next week.  If you haven't signed up, you still can, I would LOVE to see you there.  As always, I am still fighting to help find a cure!  Too many people I love are still battling for their lives.

 Robbie and Jill Cagel and Loring and Mary Jane are coming in this weekend!  They come in tonight and will be here through Saturday.  I am really looking forward to our "little reunion".  I am also having Lisa and her husband Paul and Patti (her husband is in Alaska) over on Saturday for a pre-cruise party get together.  This way they will all know each other before the trip.  Patti'scoming over early to help make her  famous homemade pizza, salad and cheesecake are on the menu...YUM!!

I meet next week with the editor that will help me with my book.  I am going to over the details of the contract and how we get it published, etc.  I want to make sure a minimum of 25% of each book goes to the Meso Foundation in Craig's name.  I guess it usually takes a year to write a book....yikes!  I hope I can do it.  This is really going to be an emotionally challenging assignment.  But I hope it will help and inspire people in their battle of meso.   I just never considered myself a very good writer as you can tell by my blogs   I just put my thoughts out there and my brain just dumps out through my finger tips.  I hope I can somehow put them into book form??

Well I guess that is were the BELIEVING will have to come in now right?

BELIEVING...Shelly

p.s.  I have several VERY ill friends.  Please say special prayers for Jim Klopstien, Martha Klien's dad BILL & Deb Rolerkite. Thanks!
