They look sturdy and chee...I love the blue tables. They look sturdy and cheerful, warmer than basic blue in your photos. It sounds as if Sylvia's observations/suggestions are welcomed as you're mastering cross culture communication!<br /><br />Will your write of the Revolution? I'd like to hear about the 30th Anniversary you saw.<br /><br /><br />T, it is hotter in Seattle than ever before. You must have heard, 103 degrees yesterday. So hot that many people are not sleeping. Seems people are more dopey than crabby. Runners can be found jogging at 4:30 am and midnight! Who told me yesterday that Secret Beach was filled w/swimmers, naked of course, past midnight? So hot, that my computer quit at 3pm yesterday up here in my office at 99 degrees. It's 89 degrees up here now, so expect I have only a short time left before it shuts down again.<br /><br />Being w/the Cooley clan was as chaotic, odd and pleasant as I expected. The whole of us is made of city and country folk, Democrats, Republicans and care nots,babies to 98 year-olds, well-off and poor, so many readers, sturdy people due to athletics, hard work and child-raising--although a back-sliding drug addict cousin caused sadness and confusion-- varieties of Christians--some notably devout and studied, some simply spiritual or not, and the Stroums. A gathering of mostly good people who get along spendidly when weddings and deaths bring us all together-- so much laughing. We return early September for another celebration, a late wedding celebration for a sweet couple of young, artsy liberals who had two babies before tying the knot.<br /><br />T, I miss you very much. I miss you in your house. We all do! But look, a month has already passed and 11 more will go by just as quickly, yes?<br /> <br />I ran w/Lisa two days ago and several times independently, during the family reuntion,too. There, I ran along along a road w/homes overlooking the Wilamette River onto a country highway with nothing but farmland as far as my eyes could see and nothing but hay for the nose.<br /><br />Relax mi amiga, enjoy Nicaragua. Can you give up ReWA for just a little while? They will survive w/o you, barely, perhaps, but imagine a life w/o biz phone calls to the the U.S.!<br /><br />lots of love,<br /><br />KerryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
