July 11, 2006

Dear All,
I am sure that you have heard about the happenings in Door County this week. Well actually Ellison Bay which is the town 4 miles south of us, and where my Auntie Sherrie's family lives. At a resort called Cedar Grove in the middle of Sunday night, there was an explosion in one of the homes. They think it was the LP tank near the home. 3 people passed away. The explosion was so strong that it caused our favorite general store called the pioneer Store to plummet to the ground with the owner sleeping soundly on the second floor. Carol, fortunately was okay, but her livelihood is not. My grandparents were staying at the B&B next to the pioneer store and were evacuated at 3:00. Luckily they were accessible to our friends, The Tencate's so they were able to snooze there until Monday morning. The entire town is blocked off. When we went into town to retrieve my grandparents belongings, they were interviewed by news cameras. They are celebrities!

Hi!
I will have an ultrasound probably mid-August to check the liver lesion. My PET scan will be around the 10th of September!
Love,
