A month already

Susan and Silvia have already been here a month. I have a lot of catching up to do. Silvia is going to school with Garrett every day so she can audit a composition and reading course. She works hard at home writing letters and practicing grammar patterns. He is teaching two courses so he is pretty busy. Susan and I have fun at home.



Susan goes to school at the Methodist preschool two days each week, Tuesday and Thursday, 10 to 3:30. She usually cries before going in, but is
happy afterwards and is happy when I pick her up. They have fished and played and eaten burgers from McDonalds and had a bubble party. They had no classes this week because of Vacation Bible School, but will start again Tuesday.



We took a long walk last night. It was pretty hot even at 8:30. Susan picked up rocks and dandelions and pinecones. When we passed Beth's house, she and Vaughn were working in the garden, so we stopped. Susan and I climbed up to the top and looked at the cats and plants. There are some rock balls in the garden; she wanted to take one home. Luckily, it was too heavy to carry.



Susan is amazing at puzzles. The ones for age 3 are a snap. She would rather do one with about 50 pieces that is for age 5. Once the edge is finished, she can do the rest easily. Silvia and I are working on a 500-piece one, and Susan can sometimes fit pieces in.


I have been sewing for Susan. I made a small travel quilt out of Dora fabric and a tiered skirt she calls her princess dress. They didn't bring Backpack, so I'm making another out of pink Dora fabric. She loves Dora everything and pink everything.
