Greetings stars and angels, near and far:
I just had to briefly make a post to share most WONDERFUL news that our friend Jim is undergoing his heart transplant surgery today, as I write! He is the fabulous fellow who has been waiting 3 years + (as of June 12) for a new heart, relocated to SLC from Boise, and has been quite ill the last few months, requiring hospitalization and lots of procedures. He had congenital heart disease (similar to me -- screwy anatomy from birth), and he and his wife Kitty have been through the ringer. I am so very overcome with emotion and joy for them, their families, friends, etc.
Also wanted to let you all know that we had a very successful and fun ONE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY celebration on June 27. It was the first sunny Saturday of the summer, and it was really great. Lots of great people, food, and fun. And, we raised almost $2,000.00 for Intermountain Donor Services (IDS). So thanks to all who came and enjoyed and donated, and to those who could not attend but donated nevertheless!
Lots of love and peace,
Emily
