"Your mom goes to college..."

Well, the anticipation is always worse than the reality. I started back to college after a twenty-three year hiatus. Thankfully, I'm not older than my professors. I am easing back into academia slowly, just two classes this semester. I'm enjoying them both. I start my day with Book of Mormon and finish with a bit of Shakespeare. I haven't been offered a senior citizen discount at the bookstore, so I guess I don't look too old. I'm looking forward to a midwinter thaw, since the cold, windy walk from the parking lot brings tears to my eyes every morning. Welcome to Rexburg!


We had a nice visit with Lynn and Carol and family last week. They came for the temple open house. Before they left for home, Lynn took Carol for a spin on Paul's snow machine.
You can tell by the grin on her face that she's hooked (ha ha ha!)


We also saw Cathy and Brian and their family when they came to the open house on Tuesday. As luck would have it, our kids were home because school had been cancelled. So Cameron and Brandon got to play together.

Paul is making good progress with his recovery and rehabilitation. He is working full time so he comes home pretty tired. But he is feeling much better than he was even a month ago. The rest of the family are well and look forward to Saturdays so we can go skiing. We're hoping for good roads and blue skies. If not, then we'll settle for halfway decent roads and anything but tornados. We may try and sneak in a few runs on Monday, too, since there's no school! If any of you would like to join us, come on up!
