Hurray, Hurray! We're happy you're back on the message board. Missed you! (Still do for that matter.) Hope the cold goes away. Mothers are always right. Lots of fluids especially OJ! Take care. We look forward to seeing you. Maybe we will have to have some sort of a coming home party.

Love,

Papa

Dear Jenni,

I am so happy we were able to chat today! Your trip on Saturday sounded awesome and I cannot wait to see the pictures when you post them. Sorry you are sick...look for and drink more OJ! Tim is back from his adventure with the Drs. Kane...he had a great time...was able to enjoy boating and tubing. Rachael and Kalley were up very late and both are exhausted today...we have little grumpy Gerdies' here...lol. Weather is hot and humid...yucky which does not do well for Rachael. Happy to hear things are going well in everyone's world...life is good here too! Will check back tomorrow to see pictures and to chat again in the morning. I am so happy you are once again posting on your site...this is a dream of a trip since you were younger and I want you to capture every moment of it! I am so proud of you and want everyone to know it too!

Love always,

MOM

I knew you would like Versailles. The bedroom where she had babies and everyone was there to watch!! Then we had wine at a little outdoor cafe. Neat place. It is hot here; Grandpa is doing well with (without!) his toes: blueberries are in: the little boys are getting big; Benton and Ray both made all-stars; life is good. Love, Grandma S.

Dear Jenni,

The pictures from Italy are awesome!!! Cannot wait to chat with you this a.m!!! Hope you will be able to update everyone soon on your adventures this week. Fireworks in Petoskey were awful...too much fog so you could not see them...Rachael was so disappointed. We had good weather for the parades. Chat with you soon!!! I love you!

Love always,

MOM

Dear Ben ("my father") ,

Please dont post on this. Please dont read this anymore. Leave me alone, let alone the rest of them also.

Thanks.

Sounds amazing to me!!!!! I love that place. I wish that i would have had my petoskeynews review front page with me. haha. Miss ya.

Dearrest Jenni: We have a change in life plans i need to notify you about. You and I are moving to Cinque Terre and starting a vineyard. We will sit on our porch and watch the ocean while we sip on wine. I hope this is okay with you. Much Love, Your new business partner.

Your G-ma and I just looked at the newest pictures. WOW! We are always happy to see your smile. Your daily blog entries have become a very important part of our day. I look forward to them. When you get back you are going to have to teach me how to take black and white pictures with the digital camera. Your photography is outstanding. We are both pretty proud of you.

Love

Papa

Jenni - I cannot believe all that you have been through. Am so grateful that someone took care of you and helped you get back. They were sent there to help you! Papa and I wished there was some way we could have got some $ to you, but had no idea how to get to you. You have done an amazing job of looking after yourself and getting to see such wonderful things. Am so anxious to see you and hear all your stories in person.

We had a great visit with Aubree and Mackenzie. Good to see her.

Grandpa had his 2 "funny" toes removed yesterday. He is doing fine - still sleeping off the anesthetic. Benton helped me get him into the house after the surgery. He will help me take him back to the dr. today to be checked. He should be able to walk in a few days and back to normal in 2 weeks.

Much love, Grandma S.

sister i'm so glad everything worked out okay and so proud of you for getting through it on your own strength!!!! i love you and miss you so much and hope your european travels kept getting better and better!!! jamais au loin!

Dear Jenni,

I was so excited to see pictures of your travels, I had a very hard time sleeping last night! The are absolutely awesome! You are smiling ear to ear!!! I am so happy you have this chance to do this at your age...you make me so proud!

I work with the most fantastic, wonderful, caring and best friends in the world. I am truly blessed. Talked to the girls at work last night and they told me their plans to help you out...I started crying. They are the best. We are so lucky to have such wonderful people around us who care. Thank you my friends at work.

I heard through the "grapevine" that Jenni's Grandpa Scarff was having surgery today...please, everyone, put him in your thoughts and prayers for a safe and speedy recovery.

Cannot wait to see more pictures and video..and seeing you so happy...it is worth millions to your MOM!!! I love you up to the moon and down to the ground.

Love,

MOM
