Hi Sarah, Sandy, and all,
Thanks for your news...I'm getting ready for a weekend in St Louis as Chris, Zoe and I head there for a close friend's ordination to be a Catholic deacon. (He is our age, works with Chris, married with grown children, and has studied 5 years for this honor/service to their church.) It should be a memorable occasion...and we'll go to a Cardinals game Fri night! Gotta pack, just wanted to say it was great to hear from you. And Sandy, congrats for your part in the Retreat program as well, which I heard was very meaningful.

Hey Right Back!
Sarah (and everyone),
I've been meaning to do the exact same thing, so thanks for actually following thru and leaving a new post! I have the blog page as my homepage, so every time I go online I say, "Man, I haven't posted in FOREVER! I need to leave a note after I've paid bills (or whatever)!" But, inevitably, by the time I'm done with my computer stuff I've forgotten about the blog!
Anyway, there hasn't been much exciting news to share around here, anyway. Except that the Women's Retreat on Forgiveness that Emily put together (and spoke at) was an amazing time for all who attended. So kudos to the kid sister on that one (it was no small undertaking)---and to Mom for all the "behind the scenes" work she did to help! If any of you are curious about it, Adam has made an audio recording of the weekend available online at our church website. I can't wait to hear it all again!!
Last but not least, Will had his second of five horseback riding lessons today! So far he's taken it all in stride---fearless and enthusiastic (like he always is regarding activities that have an element of danger!!), but no more excited about the whole deal than he would be about a trip to the ice cream parlor :>) !!! But we won these five sessions at a silent auction, paying only $50 TOTAL. So I can afford to keep taking him and see if a deeper interest in them doesn't click before all is over said and done! I WOULD download precious pictures of him atop the gallant steed, but I've put my camera in a very safe place and keep forgetting to FIND that place before session time!
Okay, I guess that's about all I have to give. Glad to hear from you again, Sarah, and hope to hear from everyone else soon as well! S
