Back from Peru, School's Started, Home Jobs

Peru was busy. Two weeks of teaching. Registered and developed arribaperu.org. Took a lot of great pics of people in Lima:












Maybe upload more later.

Back from Peru, long but safe trip. Started faculty inservice immediately.

Wow, what a hurricane down South. Iraq drags on. Go Judge Roberts!

Cleaned out my garage--going to put up wallboard and a pull-down stairway.

Worked on the new side flower garden. Moving flowers/plants away from the house, putting in a stone path, grouping roses together.

Fresh raspberries every day! Fresh veggies for supper every day! I love this time of year.

Adult Bible Fellowship lessons are on the book of Joshua. Lesson 2: Rahab. Good stuff.

Brother in law visiting from Phoenix, bringing new wife to visit and meet us. Nice time last evening at Mom's with them.
