I am writing this blog post via wireless internet from the Eugene Airport as I return to North Carolina after my one day visit to Oregon.  We had a great time together.  Yesterday, we did nothing other than what we would normally do on a lazy Saturday.  We got up late to to to Elmer’s for biscuits and gravy and to look at the Norman Rockwell paintings.  Then we went to Ross to buy me some new underwear.  After that, we did more running around and hanging out followed by working on our portrait drawing.  Our buddy Dellas sent us a photo that we want to draw, but we need some more practice first.  Our portraits are starting to get better, but still pretty rough.  We are hoping that, with practice, they actually might start looking like the persons we are trying to draw.  After that we read together about hell in Psalm 9.  I do not know why I picked that, but is was a good read.

We got a nice note in the blog comments from our poet and friend Corn Tassel from Southern Indiana.  She is an amazing homeschool girl with three amazing siblings that we are planning to visit on our trip out to North Carolina later this month.

I had a great time with my family, but I miss them a lot.
