My brother Dan and his girlfriend Alicia at the Cricket Cafe this past weekend when we met them for breakfast. I asked Alicia if she wore contacts to make her eyes blue. Dan says, "No, they are naturally beautiful!"

Wesley helps Paul out by watering the garden.

It's coming along, the classroom, I mean. Paul is going to help me can pears tonight. So nice!

No I'm not missing in action, just busy, busy, busy trying to get this dang classroom ready for the first day of school. I am one that gets overwhelmed by the emormity of a task, skipping from one thing to the next, whatever sounds good, without ever finishing one thing completely. So you can imagine what my room looks like right now. Sometimes I even forget mid-task what I am doing. Blogging sounds better right now.
Paul and I spent the weekend in Portland visiting with friends. We saw Letha, Kara, Jason, Dan, Alicia, Dan and Rebecca and Will. Whew! No wonder I'm tired. I also got to make a trip to my favorite store, Trader Joes! I truly miss cheap, healthy food. Letha took us to Mothers and we had breakfast with Dan and Alicia at the Cricket Cafe. Remember the disgusting house that Kara and Jason were remodeling? I can not even believe how amazing this house is right now. It's beautiful.
I promise not to disappear again.
