Progress

We have a frame, roof and walls! We have two sides painted. It's starting to look normal. Been a long road.

I came up here on Tuesday and stopped to see Grandma for lunch (and a short nap). Been keeping myself busy around the house mostly, but last night went to see Tom Paxton play at the Guthrie Center. He had
some choice things to say about Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck and company.

Mary's back to work and has a week under her belt. Students start on Monday. She'll be teaching students from four grades. Lots of planning. Joe has gone back to work for Chemonics and has a trip to the Mideast planned. We spoke with Annie a few times and she has lots of job prospects and is looking at taking Chinese classes. Margaret continues to work long hours.

We saw Peter at Grandma's. Janet and Johanna were out getting ready for their big trip to San Diego.

Up here the nights are cool and the days gloriously sunny and temperate. Days pass quickly, probably because they're shorter!

Been a fun summer for baseball (for me and Reds fans). What would I do with this Iphone if I wasn't following baseball?

Hope you all are thriving. Love.
