Lynne and B |
We are exhausted from our weekend. It was great. Lynne a friend from Alfred came up from NYC to visit us. She is very kind, generous and loves kids. Bennett took to her right away and they had a lot of fun.
Magically Lynne made a few calls and we ended up meeting up with two Alfred grads that live in the area. One had two kids a boy and a girl - the girls birthday was only a few days away from Bennett's. We invited them over to play and have Popsicles (it must have been 90 degrees at the park). I think everyone had a good time - the kids were so sweet!
The other grad has a building right next to the one I am getting involved in. It was great to see how much work they had done on the building and how much more they had to do! This weekend was a much needed boost of good energy though I do not think B got to sleep before 9 pm.

Sadly I dropped Lynne off at the train this morning. I then went home to meet the Hampshire girls that are doing work exchange for studio time. They are young and full of ambition and do not let me stop to become morose.
Zues and I ran 3 miles yesterday and I ran 3.5 miles today at the gym - I could not face the heat.
Yeah! Aunt Ruth is back from her trip and dropped by tonight.
I'm enjoying these posts very much!

Great picture of Lynne and Bennett! Also love the candid shot of Ruth and Bennett looking at the laptop. How blessed we are with students that give us perspective and keep us grounded. You are a wonderful mom, friend, teacher, and sister :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the cooler weather - though it looks like some rain might be heading your way.
Love you,
