Summer is Great, So is Kay

Now in the second post-radiation therapy week at the Puyallup Pullen household life is going great.  Kay seems to have regained a lot of her energy and a little of her hair, and we have been taking advantage of the situation.  Last weekend I took Friday off and we had a "staycation."  Friday Kay and I took a 6 mile hike out of Sunrise on Mt. Rainier, and though appropriately tired Kay did great.  Saturday we joined church friends on the White's sailboat for a beautiful afternoon and evening sail out of Commencement Bay.  Sunday we visited the kids in Seattle for a late lunch, then Jean and Kay's girl friends put on a surprise "congratulations- treatment is finally done" party at Jeans condo in Seattle that they all loved.

This week Mary, Kay's sister and our niece Caroline are visiting from So. Cal. arriving this afternoon.  We're looking forward to a great week and more fun yet.  A week later we leave for a week visiting family in Maine.  I'm trying to fit a little work in between the fun, and  so far so good.

Hope all of you are having a great summer.
