thursday morning

John left for Portland early this morning to finally get the official PdD. Ella and I are going to have some quiet days, and then we are headed to Richmond on sunday night for a few days. Three days back in Blacksburg and then we are headed to northern virginia and fredricksburg for a meeting, a visit with the Piccorossi's, the John Prine concert, and a visit with Granny and Grampy for the father's day weekend.

Ella is busy at her desk making something for James Gallo. She refers to him as "the little guy". He is three and they have exchanged mail. Very thrilling for her. I'm not sure if this is getting mailed to James or not as it has evolved into a large multimedia sculpture.

Last night she was running around like a madwoman after her shower, convinced that she could do all her "chores". She put on her own nightgown, put on some lotion, brushed her own teeth, and combed out her wet hair. She also put on her pearls. The hardest part was that she wanted to reach all the tools herself so that little stool was getting pulled all around to reach, the toothpaste, comb, lotion, etc.

My camera is in Portland, so no pictures today. Wish I could bottle some of this cool honeysuckle breeze coming in the window right now.
