My Absence

Been sick lately--a mild case of pneumonia. Hope to get back to regular blogging before too long.

Ingenuity

"Mom, what happens if you swallow a piece of ice?"

"I don't know. What?"

"You don't have to get drinks of water so often!"

New Music

Rachel returned recently from a trip to Texas, and now she chooses music in a more country-western style. It's a change from the rap that I normally hear in the car!

Vacation

We returned Saturday afternoon from a ten-day trip to Virginia. It was wonderful to visit with my parents, sister, and her family.

Now the Chicago Stahlkes are on a summer schedule for a while. Less hectic than the school year, thank goodness.
