Where the Volvos Roam

We've been to Elvis fest here in the park in Ypsilanti, and the air show just east of us here. Some of the planes could actually be seen flying by Lynne's house. Aviva, Nikki and I saw the blue angels in formation flying over Lynne's a couple of days prior to the event my whole family attended with Lynne. We received free tix from Lynne's friend Heather who lives by the show. We also went to the Science museum this past weekend. They had a great IMAX movie about the great lakes and a planetarium show about the seven wonders of the galaxy, the sun not included... Brutus managed to get to a lake for a quick dip with his buddies, Brooke and Tasha. Caleb is laying a hardwood floor, and I am off to do the laundry with the girls. We've put offers on two houses, both unseen, and in Sebastopol. Neither of them have come to anything, but it is an interesting process, and we are learning a lot. Mel and Jesse have had more success, maybe because they are old hat by now. They have beaucoup des maisons maintenant. I just added a two unit conversational french class to my schedule for fall as I couldn't bear going without. I am also taking Physio and Nutrition for a total of ten units. Hopefully this is not too much what with schooling the chitlins, working a bit, and generally enjoying life, as I am prone to do. Lynne's car hasn't been broken into in a few days, but we're still parking in back. We took the Volvo in to be repaired, but the mechanic couldn't find enough wrong with it to warrant changing out the drive shaft as the first mechanic wanted to do, so if we are stuck in Iowa on the way home laid up at some KOA, I hope noone is too upset when I set up camp at the Holiday Inn, or preferably La Quinta, as I was all for doing the work when the prices were good, here in Ann Arbor where other Volvos roam.
