bone update

[Guest guest]

Hi Sara,

Wow that really is hot! I remember when I visited France in 2003 they

were in the middle of a heat wave, and thousands of people died

because they didn't have A/C and never needed it before. I guess

there is just a certain time of year when it's hot no matter where

you are.

What's tartufo? That ravioli sounds good; I love pasta. Is Olive

Garden's food anywhere near what it's like over there?

My bone site is still a little sore, but doing OK. Thanx for

asking! Just waiting for that to heal and for the stitches to

dissolve. Can't wait to go back to using my Oral-B electric

toothbrush. Really comes in handy for all those new contraptions they

keep putting on my teeth :-)

Take care, and stay cool,

~Joanne
