We are so dry here - we haven't had a drop of rain in over 6 weeks. It actually looks like it might rain this evening, but it will probably all dry up before it gets here. At least they have had some up at our mountain place this afternoon. They are REALLY hurting up there - having to feed the cows and horses hay for the last month.
School is lots of fun. I don't even feel old most days. My really old moment was when the kid next to me had to enter his birthday.....and he was born in 1989 - that was pretty sobering! I realized that I had been out in the working world for almost 10 years when he was born. But in general, they seem to accept me and not treat me like an "old lady". I had my first test last week and made a 96 - a good start.I've also started going to the rec center after classes - to walk on the track, the treadmill, ride the bike or the rowing machine. My goal is 45 minutes of aerobic exercise 3 days a week, plus the 30 minutes of walking I get walking back and forth to the rec center - totally on the other side of campus from my classes.
Mom went to the doctor today and was given the green light - for driving and basically for everything else - her only goal is keep from falling again. She left here a few minutes ago in her car......I've said a few prayers for her and the others on the road this afternoon!
I've started Savannah's birthday present - the Carousel Horse from Knitting Daily. I'm doing the body in neon pink, with purple, blue, turquoise and gold accents. I hope it turns out better than it looks right now (unstuffed) - it sort of looks like an aardvark.....
