I'm more amazed every day to hear Susan talk and the things she says. She can carry on a conbersation now. Today my quilting group came over. She has been with them enough that she is comfortable with them and knows some of their names. When Betty came in, Susan said, "Ann is here." She talked to all of them and ate most of Janelle's orange again.

We went to a picnic yesterday at the Striblings. They built a house for the grandchildren to play in. It is darling, and Susan loved it. She also liked the small bridge you cross to get to the house. I think that Susan interacted with most of the people (about 20) at the party. She isn't as shy as she was when she came. Part of it is probably due to her ease with English.
