Everyone is doing just great. It's amazing to watch these kids...I mean, my adult children, going off and doing all kinds of adult things, like having kids of their own. I still cannot totally get my head around it.

In spite of all the excitement around these births, we are kind of in a summer lull. Mal is taking summer classes, but the time between semesters is still kind of dead. Lila took the summer off and will be starting up again in the fall. Hannah is taking on-line courses. What a studious bunch! The thought of returning to school gives me anxiety attacks. To this day I am having nightmares about forgetting my high school locker combination.

I taught a watercolor painting class to the women's group at church. Now that was fun. I could handle an art class, but other than that, I think my days of formal education are over.
