Dad and I are both sitting at our respective computers in the study getting our church work done.  We are going up to Utah next weekend to spend some time with Martha and Dick and Beppie Anne and Geoff.  Very fun but we do have to get the loose ends tied up here for all of our church things.

It's nice to have Dad back...this house gets very quiet with just me rattling around.  Yesterday, we ran around washing cars...(found a great full service car wash)...looking at dining room sets (was wowed by the cost of them)...getting bills out (depleted the accounts).  It was really hot...103 degrees on Friday and 100  degrees on Saturday.  So we decided to go to the movies to get cool.  We went and saw "I, Robot".  It was a much better movie than I expected!  When we got out at about 9 a western wind had come in and it was substantially cooler.  Today is delightful...about 80 degrees or so.

As far as my reading, I am still...and will be for the foreseeable future....wading through Les Miserables.  My first reading was the abridged and now I am trying to get through the unabridged.  Victor Hugo certainly does like filling you in on every possible detail of each character and setting!!!

Three more weeks to go at work...with about three months worth of work to do.  I have 3 supervisors on vacation until the end of the month so we are shorthanded besides.

We are looking forward to Marnie coming up tomorrow morning until Thursday morning. We are going to a Harry Connick concert on Wednesday night.

I've enjoyed all your news!!!
