This one's for you, Grandma. Next to my mother, you are my most faithful reader. Or do I have that backwards? And I know this because (1) you told me, and (2) I can print off a map showing where "hits" to my blog are coming from, and there are a LOT of hits from The Villages.
We're settling nicely into our new digs. The girls are loving school, even after a few weeks. They still run off excitedly to beat the opening bell. Both girls have had friends over after school, so they seem to be adjusting well. The only challenge will be French. They start in Gr.1 here, so Shaniah is especially behind. Someone tried to tell me that the little Spanish she learned will help her in French class. OK. We'll see.
Lynn is doing great. She started a part-time job at Food Basics as a cashier, so that's kept her busy learning all the produce codes. Funny, she came home after her first day of training and re-typed the whole produce list, 400 some items, because some were out of order, and she wanted to memorize them. She went to work the next day and discovered that they change the numbers every few weeks anyway to throw off the dishonest customers. Her main objective, though, is to teach piano. She had a good interview at a Christian School today. They are looking for a teacher for a dozen or so kids. We are bringing her piano "home" this Saturday, so she's having trouble containing herself.
I've been busy editing video and building websites, and developing ISV FaithWorks for ISV (there's a few links for you to chew on!). Lots of exciting potential there to involve Christian college kids in the most amazing mission adventure on the planet. Hey Grandma... how's about joining us foe a few weeks in Thailand next summer. We could put you to work in the kitchen and maybe even a rice field or two. You'd be a hit over there.
Well, time for bed. Just wanted to bring you up to speed, and say "thanks" for your love and prayers!
