Friday update

Brendon seems to be enjoying his stay. He has been making quilted hot pads on the sewing machine and getting his tea pot to boil water with an oil flame. He and Ellen have gone swimming a couple of  times (in the West River) and tonight they are going to the movies. Last night he stayed home while we went to a Hallowell rehearsal. After we got back we watched an old time-lapse video of our house being built, which we all enjoyed seeing. It's sort of a hoot. Tomorrow he will stay home while we go to Joan Shimer's funeral at the Guilford Church. Sunday, we head for Maine. I've been dealing with some lower intestine woes and hope to be in good enough shape to travel Sunday!

Meanwhile, the Feinlands are all in Boulder, CO checking out U of Colorado for Max (and Ben too for grad school). That would be quite something if they ended up there! I would have them say hello to Rob, but he is at the Mayo Clinic getting a stem-cell transplant, and will be there six weeks. Sending him all the good wishes in the world!
