May 24, 2005 Greetings..... I just returned today from North Carolina.  The memorial service for my aunt was very nice but it was quite emotional for all of us. Now I unpack, wash clothes, and pack again....I leave tomorrow for my next trip to Honduras. It was planned a long time ago, which made it hectic for me to be at the funeral and back in time to get ready.  I hope you have felt adequately informed of my absences, and that you don't need a bracelet or item before I get back.  I did have many emails and messages to answer.  I will return on June 10 and hope to recover from jet lag within a couple days. I will try to check my email while in Honduras. Please keep my safe travel and good health while traveling in your prayers.  Of course I will have MY prayer box jewelry on every day.  I will write as soon as I get back. Thanks for visiting the site! Fondly,  Julie
