Hi Debby,
I’m sitting here printing out a dissertation from one of our job candidates. We are hiring an environmental historian this year. We are very fortunate to be hiring anyone as out university has made large cuts due to the economy so we are very grateful.I am also working on (not here at work, of course) a baby gift for another faculty member. She and her husband are expecting their first child, a boy, in early January and I am embroidering a baby blanket for him.I keep busy restoring old photos and am presently putting my mother-in-laws photos from the 40’s – 60’s into albums. The nights that Charlie teaches, I sew. The nights he is home, I work on photos. It’s a pretty good system. Read and loved Eat, Pray, Love by Gilbert and am getting ready to begin Three Cups of Tea by Mortenson.The family is well (including the dogs) and we are all looking forward to the Thanksgiving and Christmas season. Bought our youngest grandson Rocky the Robot – Great big truck that is actually a robot — that seems to be a hot gift this year so we were lucky to find it.No big plans, no new knees, no shoulder surgery — nothing (thank goodness!).
All for now.Melinda
