Now that I have a new computer (MacPowerbook) I think I'll be able to post more often. Although the old family G4 has provided nearly a decade of faithful service, it seems that the old machine was slowing things down considerably. How nice to be able to download photos from the camera in a few minutes instead of half an hour!! 

Tonight we celebrated Herman and Carolyn Laude's 60th wedding anniversary at a family dinner. To my delight, all three kids were there, a rare event these days. 

I guess I can get back to my knitting now!

I'm Still Here

It's been a long time since I posted. Lots of stuff has happened over the last ten months. Sean made it safely back from his cross country bicycle trip, as did our mini-van which was their service vehicle. Not bad for a 10 year old piece of machinery with over 150,000 miles on it! The Illini 4000 for Cancer raised $50,000 for the American Cancer Society. Not bad for a first effort.
Sean planned the route for the 2008 team-they are riding from New York to Seattle this year. butwill not be with them this time. He will log many miles in the minivan this summer commuting up to Deerfield for his summer job/internship with Walgreens.

One of the reasons that I haven't kept up with this blog is that I discovered Ravelry!
