My next to the last chick is moving into the dorm on
Sunday. I am thrilled and excited for her but at the
same time the tears aren't far away. I hope the transition
is smooth and she likes her room mate. It seems only
yesterday that she was a delightful baby girl.

I have been reading a lot and just finished an 899 page
saga called Barkskin. It is by Annie Prioulx. It was
pretty good. It is difficult to find good books that
rivet you to the page these days.

I need to do more volunteer work. I have a lot of time
on my hands. My only volunteer job is being a docent at
the Governor's mansion, which I love. Who wouldn't love
telling people about the antiques and lovely furnishings?

Ted is not doing well. He sleeps away most of the day.
This is distressing.
