Yesterday, we had a cookout for the library staff at King Library. It was a beautiful day...all sunny and cool. It made me realize how many friends I've made here at Miami; I don't think you ever truly feel like you're home until you can walk down the streets of the town and actually know the names of some of the faces in the crowd. Our life is getting that way, and I'm so happy about that.
Charlie will be teaching a 200 or 300 level painting class this fall, and I can't wait to see how he adapts. I hope he enjoys it because I think he's a great artist and could influence so many other artists. I believe he'd be a fantastic teacher.
Mom and Dad and Caleb are coming a week from today for a short visit. I can't wait to see Caleb. It's been almost five months since I've seen him last, and I can only imagine how he's grown. We're going to have lots of fun, going to parks, seeing the cows at Bill Snape's house, and walking on the trails (we want to take him to the swinging bridge). I hope the weather holds out and that it's nice and cool (to give those southerners a break from the heat).
I've included a pic from the cookout yesterday. These are two of my students from Brill, chomping down on a hamburger. We ate until we were stuffed yesterday. I ate a huge hamburger and hotdog...which is very unlike me. Just smelling food cooking out makes you ravenous!
