Not used to being this busy with things other than studying...

Reporting in:
Church in the morning after today's outdoor wedding (rain miraculously absent), rehearsal last night (after a 6 hour drive), funeral Monday and 3 more funerals in July (so far). EEK

 We had a great 3 days on Washington Island, with travel on Monday and Friday including a 30 minute ferry ride each way.  I worked on my coding assignments at Cedar Lodge amongst the  territory tussles of really aggressive red-winged black birds (were in league with the mosquitos).  Two nights of campfires (after coding) in the company of  pastors attending the forum to hear Brian McClaren.  We rented  an apartment that had a kitchen with a GAS STOVE!!!!  I really miss cooking with gas. Visited a lavender plantation (after coding more), really like the lavender gelato and was a

AMAZED  by lily pads and 

 and met up with old friends.    Still coding

Big Mosquitos - a point of pride

THEM
As I write they are massing against the screens trying to get in.  I wake up with bites.    They some how ninja their way in and find me.


 I hear them at night playing my clarinet. They are not bad.  Does make me want to practice...
