Exciting Times

Summer has been very good and very busy. I have been at FUGE camps in MO, AZ, NM, FL so far and will be in AL and SC before the summer is over. I also am doing some training in MS this weekend.

Sondra and I had a great time at Glorieta, NM and got to hang out with Shelbi some. Sondra and Shelbi shopped alot on Shelbi's day off while I took pictures of wildfires and slept on park benches while they shopped. We did visit the square in Santa Fe and all the sites there that include the Loretto Church with the mysterious spiral staircase and ate some wonderful food.

Sondra and I returned home for a day and a half and then headed out to Orange Beach, AL for some vacation time. We enjoyed our stay but it was very different without the girls. The weather was good, there was another wildfire close by that authorities got under control, and we enjoyed our time together. On the back side of that trip we headed to Rome, GA and visited with Morgan who is working Winshape Camps this summer. It was good to be with her and know that she is having a great summer.

I am able to run again and got 35 min. in today which is the most at one time I have ventured out. The knees are both doing good. I am pleased. I am in FL some this week and the ground is very flat here which makes the running much easier on the knees.

Sondra is enjoying a couple of weeks more off from work and heads back to work on the 18th. Our big news is that we will be hosting an international student for this school year beginning in August. We are getting a female student from China and I will share her name and more info. once it becomes completely official this next week. We are very excited. She is a sophomore in high school and will be attending DCA where we have been heavily involved the last few years.
