Weekend

Ahhh the weekend before school begins on Wednesday. Students and parents have been arriving nonstop filling the campus with life once again! Our Saturday is consumed with laundry and preparation for the coming week and an occasional excursion away from Greenville. We live in a gorgeous area of the country. In South Carolina the mountains beckon us to visit. In Minnesota it was the expanse of blue sky and the Twin Cities; we often said when driving to the Cities that our "lines had fallen in pleasant places." Now we live that life virtually through our children and grandchildren who live in the north while we enjoy the south.

I'm listening to Reading Lolita in Tehran by Azar Nafisi, an amazing story that my daughter suggested I read. Our freedom in the USA takes on a whole new meaning when contrasted with the oppression in Iran.

We're looking forward to a good year with new challenges.
