Well, I generated a big long message which got lost in internet space, so I'll try again.
I had fun babysitting the kids last week. Emma is a little rip, no matter how cute she is. Jamie has a big planter with water and water plants, and apparently some tadpoles from the various tadpole rescue excurisions. Emma kept stiring the water with a trowel. When I chided her, she looked at me, deadpan, and said, "My mother told me to do that." As the afternoon progressed, it appeared that there were a number of other scampy things her mother told her to do.
Sadie, I read the Lathe of Heaven first while I was going to law school in Portland. It was so wonderful because I could identify so many of the places. I think I told you that the Lathe of Heaven was the Eugene Reading in the Rain selection
a couple years ago, and they showed the original movie, made for OPB and much more true to the book. (The shiny remake didn't have the Alien Turtles, central to the story, in my humble opinion) Ursula Le Guin came to sign her new book, and I asked why no turtles. She too was obviously not happy about the omission.
Congratulations to Anna, and our symphony played Shostakovitch last Thursday. It always seems as though he could see, and reflect in his music, all the terror and upheaval to come during the 20th century.
Seraph and I leave for Philadelphia very early Friday morning, and will be back on Monday. The mountains at home are always beautiful this time of year. Much love to all.

Incidentally, are we all preparing for the invasion of Mexico? (I think I need to go home and drink a cold Pacifico.)

Hi, and much love to all
May 13, 2006 by Sue in Wielesek
Hi, and much love to all. Reta and I came back to the office this Friday evening to finish up some billing work. She has been a princess in helping me get loose ends wrapped up. I had a lovely letter from Anna in San Francisco, sending lots of hugs and letting me know that she had sent a contribution to the League of Women Voters and the Great Lakes Museum in dad's memory. I also
have a tooth which needs a root canal, but which, thanks to the miracle of modern anti-biotics, is not oozing goobery stuff into my blood stream. Sadie and I have been trying to have a decent phone conversation for a week, about thirty seconds at a time. Maybe this weekend. I talked to Jenny, who is feeling much better. This is an absolutely beautiful evening. I need to get this cataract surgery pretty soon.

Happy May Day! The mid-west is green and lush, even those it's also wet and stormy. This is just a very quick note to let you all know that Meg and I had fun at the wedding, and
I'm here at Anita and John's. We went to Anita's Garden Club meeting, and had a program by a speaker from the University of Illinois about growing and using herbs and spices. I have been enjoying my great nieces and great nephews enormously. Lots of time holding Baby Leah! Love to all, om
