Dad is ranting about nouveau words....so I'll give you my view of things here. Mike has introduced me to this new way of communicating vs the newsletter. I'm not going to entirely give up on my hardcopy idea though. For those who would like to keep a hardcopy record or perhaps want to contribute things in other ways..at the end of each month, I will compile a newsletter from these entries as well as anything else that I receive or that suits my fancy to add to it.

Dad is getting ready to go on a week long outing with the Teachers Quorum...I am getting ready for an Enrichment Meeting in our backyard on Tuesday. I lost my Enrichment leader to Young Women President so now I am waiting for the bishop to get around and call someone else! This will be my third one this year! Maybe it is something about me.

I'm winding down at work. I really will be done on August 13 especially because I have scheduled my next few weeks so I can't work. We'll be going to BYU Education Week..staying with Peter and Anne in their new apartment. Then when we get back, with Kim who is coming home for the Fall, I will be going back to Georgia to help with the girls while Brooke has her surgery. It is pretty busy at work since I am trying to get all my regular projects completed as well as testing and implementing a new outsource scanning service for our proof of deliveries.

My out of work activities are trying to keep up with Dad, reading (currently the unabidged Les Miserables), and cross stitching. Adina, I am finally working on Taylor's which will be done probably by September...then Parker and Morgan and I will be up to date. I feel rather optimistic since I have completed three this last year.

This does make it pretty easy.....I have to admit..
