Wow...last time I wrote, 'twas the beginning of June....now, we are almost half-way through July! The heat has been brutal and we are down inches and inches in the rain department, so I soon anticipate a call from the Village's automatic phone system informing us to conserve water. Last year, we had rain and slugs and mushrooms. What a difference a year makes!
Abby is in the last week of music camp and her third week of volunteering at the hospital. So I am spending huge amounts of time driving...but at least, it's air-conditioned. I also managed to make all four nights at the end of June/beginning of July of our church's Catechist Formation classes. I have already done Level I twice, the last time in 2007-2008, and recently completed the Level II classes (all online this time!), but it is nice to "learn" and hear other people's ideas and thoughts. I realize how much I miss school; and how the chance to go to college again myself has passed. First, it was "get the twins through college". Then "Ken has prerequis to do", then "Nursing School for Ken". Now, in 2 years time, we will be packing up Abby for college. So there goes it for me....but at least I can still take classes now and then and keep the grey matter from turning to mush!
