Hi everyone,

Today is already Friday and the week is almost gone. I don't know where the time goes!!!

I had my second chemotherapy treatment yesterday and my wonderful driver, Russ Ewers, took me to the Mayo Clinic for my appointment. He is the best and if any of you need to hire him, he is ready!!

The treatment went well - better than last time - as I was not so surprised this time. Following the treatment, I came home and even went to the Scottsdale Art Walk to hand out Polka Dog biscuits to interested art "walkers" and there were lots of them. It was a great night, but I was a little tired upon finishing. What we do for our children's businesss!!! But I was sure to tell everyone that we are now in the Anthropologie stores nationwide - everyone was very impressed! It's interesting that most people know of Anthropologie!

However, this morning I realized that my hair is, in fact, thinning out. A bummer, to say the least. I knew that it might, but now I realize that it is! I do have my old wig from before, but it's a little outdated, so maybe it's time for a new wig for Suzy. A long blond one?

Rob and Liz come to Phoenix tonight and I have many projects for us to do. Rob will then join Matt next week in Vienna to spend a few days with Matt prior to his coming back to the United States. Matt is actually traveling to Japan this week for a conference - I think it is his most eastern visit so far. What fun for him.

Our weather is so lovely here now. It really is the time to be in Phoenix and I am heading out for a walk as I write. It's great as I can walk to the bank, the drug store and even get a snack (ice cream) at McDonald's. But don't tell anyone that!

Rob will be working on the blog tomorrow - he always has such fun things to say and a wonderful way to say everything.
We will also post some photos - I think I am doing pretty well - still having a little trouble standing on that one foot, eyes closed, but...

Thank you again to everyone. You make each day fun to be alive and I especially wish to thank my most incredible children, David, Rob, Rebecca, and Matt for calling and emailing me each and every day. Their voices and words make the happiest of all.
Suzy
