While in Virginia, we are staying with our dear friends, The Moores, who have again graciously opened their house and lives to us.
How are we keeping ourselves busy? Well....
- We visited our doctors and dentists to get bodies, eyes and teeth checked. Three teeth cleanings, one crown, two sealants, one orthodontic check, three eye doctor visits, one well woman visit, one well man visit (and a partridge in a pear tree.)
- In the course of her dental cleaning, JA found out that what was bothering her in the back of her mouth was her wisdom death. The bottom two had popped out, the top two were descending. We decided to get them out while here. This morning she had surgery and is currently resting.
- Visited Terry's family in West Springfield, Massachusetts for a week in June.
- Spent 4th of July in Culpeper, Virginia with friends, food and fireworks.
- Spent a long weekend in Sharon, Pennsylvania with Mary Ann's cousins visiting favorite stores and eating familiar foods.
- JA is in a production of "42nd Street" sponsored by the youth ministry of a local parish. She's learning to tap dance and sing. It's her first experience being on stage in a musical.
- ER is visiting with friends, one who lives just down the street from where we are staying.
- Ate at Noodles and Silver Diner.
- Saw "Prince Caspian" twice, "Kung-Fu Panda", "Nim's Island", and "Wall-e." Looking forward to catching more movies before we go.
Still to go is the performance of the musical beginning on July 24, more movies, some dining out, lots and lots of visiting with friends, a computer class for ER to learn Alice (a 3D programming language by Carnegie Mellon), a drama workshop for JA and shopping for needs and wants to take back.
Zoey, our cat, survived our absence being taken care of by our wonderful neighbors. She has let Terry know how upset she was that we "abandoned her" by nibbling his toes and keeping him up at night. She's settled down.
What do we miss the most? Being able to bike to store, church, friends, etc. Otherwise, it is great to be home!
