August 31, 2001 by Sue in Wielesek
Dad and I arrived safely in Heathrow this (Friday) morning at about 9:30. Mary had made plans to move us from Heathrow, and, said plans having gone off without a hitch, we are here. We rode the Hovercraft from the mainland to the island, a trip of about ten minutes. The island itself is lovely, with compact towns and nice farms. The total population is about 125,000, but thanks to some excellent land use planning by those farmers three or four hundred years ago, the feeling is much different from the way the same number of people would be spread around in the US.
The three of us will drive down to Plymouth on Sunday to spend a few days there.
Much love to all

All's well as Dad and I plan for our trip to England. I leave Oregon on August 29, and Dad and I fly out of Philadelphia on the evening of the 30th. Love to all, Sue

We stopped by to see Jenny, Darren, Dez and the Burrito Boy - so named because Darren and Dez had him wrapped up like a burrito... He is an absolute sweetie. No crying, sleeps well - just makes mouse noises.
Thanks to who ever in the fam got the news through to Sadie in Botswana. I called Pitzer to see if we could fax, and they said someone had called and they'd got a message to her.
Life is good. Love, om

Ooh, happy days! A new baby
August 15, 2001 by Sue in Wielesek
Ooh, happy days! A new baby. This baby is definitely from the Cute Kid store, too. Very pretty, biggie sized - distinctive features, looks a little like Dez and a lot like Darren.
Jenny and Darren were champs - it sounds silly to say that they were efficient, but it makes me realize how useful all this pre-natal education is. They knew exactly when to push and when to rest - probably better for the baby, too.
Will post more later. Love to all, Sue

Hi, very quick, while I wait for a truck driver client to call in.
We got a late start to Portland on Sunday night, with lots of last minute good byes and phone calls. Jenny Minetti and Megan, your letters didn't reach here in time, and I'll forward them.
We did get a good rest, and Sadie woke ready to go. We tucked her safely on the plane at 8:45 am, and have been thinking her half way around the world. She is on the last leg now, from A'dam to J'burg, I hope snoozing peacefully.
We stopped in Lake Oswego at the Norm Thopson outlet; Dick got a $25 gift certificate as part of a walkathon, and I had no trouble spending it. There is a Hannah Anderson kids
clothing outlet in the same mall, and I made up some of my sadness at sending off Sadie by buying cute grandkid clothing.
We're looking forward to a great event this evening. Yayoe, my suggestion for this baby's name is designed to get him a start in classical Japanese theater, and call him the Noh baby.
And on that terrible pun, it's off to work I go.

What a good summer this has been, with Adam and Jamie's new house, Darren and Jenny's reluctant baby, having Seraph working at the office, having Sadie home, Hanni selling her house, and having a truly delightful weekend with Margie and Erin.
Margie was in town for a long weekend, and we had a wonderful long chatty breakfast on Saturday morning, and then Margie, Erin, Dick, Sadie and I went to the marine museum in Newport on Sunday. It was warm and sunny, and we couldn't have asked for a better day. Love to all, OM
