Adam and Leah Dyer

I woke up this morning and came down the steps to emails from Adam and Leah, Bryan Stacy, and Bailey Cheben.   Bailey said she had eyes dilated yesterday and had to wear sunglasses all day.   Bryan said his therapy for his arm was going well and that he hoped I was "dog super well."   I think I hope I am also.  And Leah sent me a picture of Adam and Leah out having fun.

It gave me such a lift.  I wish they knew how much.  Then I came back a few minutes later and Andrea sent me a note about her work with photography.    I had been out to eat with Lucas Presson, my former student worker who now is my breakfast companion -- works at Missourian and does Good Times --editor.   He was working on my computer.  And Kathleen Reynolds was here, she also works for me cleaning house and running errands.  

I said, "See those fixtures in my sink!   My engineer grandson picked them out and installed them.  See that receipe for beach barbecue on my refrigerator.  That is Leah's recipe.  When she's not singing opera, she is cooking!"   And they were mightily impressed!  So am I!
