There's been no clicking of pics, so you'll have to visually imagine our experiences.
Jim had his face rearranged...following removal of malignant cancer tumors on his cheek and neck. After 240 stitches, the healing has left virtually no scar. He just has to shave a little higher on his right cheek, since the plastic surgery pulled his skin around a bit.
Mari got new knees! It was one of those things that couldn't be avoided any longer. About one month after the ordeal, I wondered why I had done this. But, now, four months after surgery, I'm so glad I did it. If anything hurts, it's my feet and back. There's still a couple of things that are irritating...getting up from a chair, getting in and out of a car, and...oh, well I won't go into that one.
Lilly spent a whole week at a girls camp in South Eastern Illinois. It was called Camp Ondessonk. Such a name. Activities included swimming, hiking, crafts, other things, but most important to Lilly was the horseriding. She came home exhausted. Being her second camp experience, she is looking forward to the next one...next week! It's only a three day, day-camp. After that, it's time to start getting ready for school!
What's Beth been up to? She has learned to care for infants to toddlers. Lots of the time she spends the night or even several days at one family...sort of like a nanny. She loves it. She'll be busy next week at the sports day-camp also. And, of course, getting ready for school is the next task.
We have friends whose son is getting married the first week in August. It will be the first Baha'i wedding the girls have gone to. They are so excited. Both girls have dressy dresses and shoes. There should be some pictures of that later on this blog. Watch for them.
