Fun on the Farm

It has been a great week of hanging out with my family. I feel like I'm past the jetlag and am on to real life. I've been keeping myself busy as I try to help out where I can around the farm. That has meant that I've mostly been in the house cleaning and doing laundry as I also try to get some school work done. Since I'm teaching three new classes next year, I'm going to have to do a significant amount of prep work this summer. Current reading - "Roles in Interpretation" - a college-level textbook all about Oral Interpretation. I'll be teaching the class in the fall so I really need to have a good handle on the material.

I'm including a little photo below of my cousin and her attempts to get the bulls up the alley. Her magic solution? Throwing dirt clods at them. I like this action shot. The bull was not too happy with her.On the possible schedule for tomorrow:
- my 8-year-old cousin's dance recital.
- a logging show - like the ones you see on TV where they cut down a tree, run on logs in the water, saw through a trunk, and other fun logger things. It'll be an experience if nothing else.

A little sidenote: I am back in the world of cellular communication. While I am here in the US, I have a T-mobile cell number that you can use to get in touch with me. The number has a Grand Rapids area code then 516.7773. Please give me a call or at least send an e-mail with your number. My previous US cellphone was stolen in our house robbery so I no longer have your numbers. Sorry.

Next post: Pictures of the logging adventure (if we go).
