Tanya Hello Taylor - I hope you have a safe flight back home. Try to bring back some good rice.. India has a good rice selection. It has not rained in the past week in Eugene and the weather has been great. So you will be able to enjoy the rest of the summer. Take care and safe travels.

Tanya Hey Taylor, wow you are busy. I hope you are having fun and learning a lot about the cultures in India. It has been raining this week in Eugene. It feels like fall! Yuk! I am ready for some sunshine. My boys are wondering when you are coming back. Kevin will start second grade on September 3 and Alec will start Pre-K on September 8th. Natasha is busier than ever working and now has a boyfriend. We will see how that works out. Tim is as always busy working and trying to keep up with the house chores. I am overwelmed with school. I start an Internship program at SHMC working in the clinical research department. Keep the postings and photos coming- Take care of yourself.

marie Hi Taylor, Cant believe its been a few weeks. Lets see, same old stuff. Your dad still doing regattas,been why too hot here, Olympic swimming has been fun to watch, I took another person to the emerg.ward for 3rd time this yr. Boy do i know how to have fun. It was one of the hygienst(i thought was having a stroke in the middle of our day of work). Symp.were not making sense, she has a tumor in the front of her brain,size of a tennis ball. So this is why having numbness on one side of her body. Shocker. Have had Obie last 2 weekends, he keeps asking "Wheres Uncle Taylor" Concrete is being poured at house. Electical being put in also(lights). Blackberries,corn, Lane Co.Fair(Stef won a Photography Award for a boating picture) are happening. Sounds like you are having plently of adventures. Take care. Love marie and your dad.

LT hey buddy, hope all is well, i just read on the news of a bunch of bombings in the south west region, hope all is quiet in your region. eli and jacob and i are heading up south sister tomorrow. Liv's wedding is today down on oak street, i think ill be riding my rusty bike in my suit down there. take care.

marie Hi Taylor, Today in my chair-I had the neonatal Dr. that Obie had and he offered to take you on rounds with him to see his end of it. He told me to tell you to give him a call at his house when you get back. Same ole stuff here, packing and working.Hard to believe that tomorrow it will be 3 weeks already. Just a note to say thinking of you. Your grandparents keep asking how you are doing as well as my folks. Take care. marie and your dad.

Tanya Hi Taylor- Seems like you are getting a lot of hands on training. How wonderful for you to learn about health care in another country. It must be very interesting. Tim and I are heading to the Channel Island's this weekend to go diving- I can't wait. School has been very stressful. A lot of work! But I know it will pay off at the end. I look forward to reading more of your Blogs. Take care and many prayers.

Grandma & Grandpa Haldeman Hey, Taylor Johnson, We wrote a note to you but for some reason it must not have posted. We just looked at you great pictures. You gave us a lot of worry time when you were sick and then no one had heard from you. You look fine now...Grandpa is doing fine, his vision and his short term memory loss maybe has improved some but is really slow. We Americans are really spoiled by all the showers we take. Stay safe, Mizpah, Genesis 31:49

marie Hi Taylor, We do enjoy reading about your adventures. Your dad has tried for a few days to try and phone you, but cannt get through. Not much new. Still in our house. Your dad getting ready for next regatta. I am packing some more. Take care. Are we able to send anything to you? Maybe somemore giveaway things? Let me know. Marie and Dad.

Tanya Hey Taylor, Great photos.. I heard you got sick, bummer. I hope you are feeling better. Tim and I went to see The Police in concert on Saturday and they were great. It has been very hot in Eugene- but nothing to complain about. I hope you have a safe and fun trip to your next destination and I look forward to seeing more photos and reading your Blogs. Take care and God Bless.

Marie Taylor, I must get on a couple times a day to see if you posted a blog. Just to see what you are up to and to hear about your experiences. It is 3 o'clock in the morning and just returned from catering an over 40,000 dollar wedding in Florence on a Eugene couples estate. Incredible view, they basically have their own lake to look out on from a hill. Sounds like you found a store to buy Oreos. Tomorrow I will take over your letters to Grandma, and pa Johnson to they can have in their hands to read about you. Looks I get to sleep in tomorrow. Take care and here are hugs(took me 15 sec. to remember how to spell that- brain dead). marie

Aunt Julie Hi Taylor, I love hearing about your adventures. I am so sorry you are sick, I will be praying for you everyday you are away that you wil be well and have a awesome experience. I will keep in touch. Love Ya Lots! A.JuWee

Marie Taylor, I did write a message yesterday, I dont know where it went. Missed you for the 4th. The fireworks were great. Your dad and I went to the coast w/Mark and Fran on Sat. Sun we tried different kayaks on the pond by Autzen. Was a lot of fun. Sorry you didnt have enough snacks. Its odd not to have you giving me those puppy dog eyes when you need a meal. So how does McDonalds taste over there? We love hearing your stories, even your Grandparents get to hear them(which they love). Take care. Marie and your dad.

mom I hope you're feeling better soon Taylor. We miss you. I appreciate your entries on your blog, a terrific way to hear that you are alive and somewhat well. Have you learned how to use your phone card yet???? Once you do, please try calling home soon, you know "Mom's", ha ha! Feel better, I love you! Is there an address that I can forward some food snacks? I'd be happy to get a box of goodies/drinks together and forward them to you. Let me know. Mom

Niki L Taylor! I'm excited to hear about your new discoveries in India! You are already learning so much in such a short time! There's no other way to learn about another culture and its medical/healing practices than to step into it firsthand. Get well soon. Blessings
