After a long hiatus, I am back. My posting might still be a little spotty because things are still pretty crazy at work. Since I last posted, Lorena has started an accounting class, Kelly and Christian have started their piano, choir, and swimming classes and we celebrated my fiftieth birthday. Over at Quality Corners, we are starting in earnest on our new style decorative rosettes.

Everyone to whom we have showed these things really loves them, but it is going to take quite an investment to get them into volume production. We really think it might increase our business dramatically.

Our agenda is pretty fixed for the next little while, but some of our projects are changing. The biggest homeschool project is to try to get the new Ubuntu Linux up and going on a new computer as soon as a) the install disks are available in October, and b) we can afford a new computer. The normal stuff includes our bi-annual family week long vacation with Lorena’s family in Mexico in December and our annual week long homeschool ski trip to Mount Bachelor with the Rizos in March.
