More craziness

We are just counting down the days until we go to Birmingham with Julia.  In the mean time, I have to take my car to the shop because it is burning oil.  And now the upstairs air conditioner decided to stop working.  All the girls will have to sleep downstairs - thank goodness we have a separate air condition for the downstairs.  It looks like Julia will go wig shopping on Saturday, so hopefully we will find a wig she likes.  We heard from Kate today.  It sounds like she is having an interesting and challenging time in London.  She is interacting with Sikhs and Muslims, and learning more about their culture.  Today was a difficult day for Libby.  It started off at 3:00 am with a call from the hospital.  Apparently her mom was upset or confused and wanted to be taken home, which cannot happen just yet.  So Libby's sister went there early in the morning and is still gone at 8:00 pm.  Libby took her dad for his first chemo therapy today, and that seemed to have gone reasonably well.  They are both home for the evening.  This is a time of great stretching for us, so many prayers are appreciated.
