Mom, here.....Wow. I told everyone about this Blog and then forgot all about it myself! Mary, I never did see your note until now. You wrote it in Feb and here it is almost August. Maybe we can start it up again. Perhaps everyone could check it and post a short update about once a week? Or when something happens you need to tell us all about. All is going well here. Weather is soooo dry that Dad spends most of his time sprinkling--he has fun with that. I'm wrapping up my courses and give my finals on Aug 1. I LOVED this summer, teaching my favorite courses just two days a week. Now I have almost all of August off. Hope to work on an article to publish. Only negatives in our lives are waiting for businesses to start doing research again (summer months are traditionally slow) and missisng you kids so much. House seems so empty and quiet.
