I'm working with the cover school that my son graduated from.  They needed a coordinator in this area, so I came out of homeschool retirement.  I don't really think any homeschool parent ever totally retires anyway.

I had the opportunity to take a cake decorating course that covered a way of doing cakes commonly found in Australia, South Africa, and England.  It was a lot of fun and ended all too quickly.  Now, I've got to play with I've learned so I can make some money off it.

...How are your son & his family doing?

They are doing just fine.  We had lunch together after my class (Yes, I drove to Montgomery two Saturdays in a row to take it at 88 miles one way.) and I really enjoyed it.  Little is now old enough to remember me from the last time.  I was really tired of him being afraid of me when I came to visit.  I got to hold and play with him twice.  :)  Hard to believe he's working on his third year.

...I have been so busy with everyone else I haven't been keeping up with you. Sorry about that...

Forgiven...  As you can see, you're not alone on that getting busy. 

I've got 36 plants that need to be planted, plus four Confederate Roses which need to set roots before it gets cold.  They are interesting shrubs.  They bloom pink and as the flower ages it fades to white.  I don't think they grow anywhere else.  I don't remember them in TX anyway.  They had pansies, violas, and Sweet William on sale at the store I did my class at.  I had just spent time surfing the search results for pansies because I forgot which petals are purple and yellow.  I wanted to put them on a cake I was doing for a bridal shower.  Well, I saw pansies in colors I'd never seen before.  Then I went to the class and they were selling off a semi-trailer full of them.  Actually, they could have just brought the trailer and parked it across the street...

Well, talk care.  I'm laying low today.  Laptop just got on my lap, so I know he wants me to get dressed and take him out for a WALK.
