Things have been eventful around here too! Barbara is finally on summer vacation, and once again we are trying to figure out how to fit all the things we want to do in the time available. The school year now starts for her on August 6th, so time's a'wastin. She was really good with her crutches, and could get around on them faster than she could walk (probably still can), but she was cleared by the doctor to start putting weight on the ball of her foot, and to put it in a shoe whenever the diminished swelling would allow. Yesterday was a loose tennis shoe, and today, crocs. So she is on the way.
We have already planned the trip to Baltimore, from the 16 - 26 of June, closely followed by a trip to Denver, where Barbara will stay until the 15th. When she gets back, we need to go to Vancouver, but haven't settled on the dates yet. The only trouble is we will have to come back before Ethan's birthday.
By the end of June, I will have 8 projects under construction, with weekly meetings for each of them, located all over the region. Seeing all of you takes priority, though, so I just have to figure out how to make it happen.
Attached are a few pictures: the foot, the house, some flowers and cacti. Enjoy.
