Kelly and Christian are both getting very close to finishing their annual reports. Kelly has to do just a few corrections and a title page while Christian has only to do the illustration for his title page. Today, I will try to go over to Staples at lunch time to buy a couple of professional, clear plastic binders. The reports are really quite amazing. There are only four days of homeschool left. I will probably have Christian install the Mavis Beacon program on Thursday. Lorena has class tonight and I am hoping she gets her test back today with a high score.

All of the trees we planted appear to be growing very well with the exception of six red maple trees. They look moist and green under the bark, but now leaves appear to be forming at all. I hope they come out OK. I used the QCAD program on Linux to draw up a design for the area around the telephone and electrical services at the far corner of our yard. Tonight, I am going to spray the whole yard for clover, but after that, I am going to to work on that relative unattractive corner of the yard.

Digital Cybermation called from Pittsburgh yesterday to say the new CNC router would ship in a day or two. It has been disappointingly late, so I am not holding my breath. Everyone is looking forward to getting the machine, both here and at Quality Corners in Idaho. I have high hopes for what we can do with it.
