Thumbs Up!

Five days in a cast was plenty! I hate down time and get bored so easily -- I've watched three movies and read two books in the past five days. The books were awful -- please give me some recommendations on good contemporary fiction. The Reader was a great movie. Ben and Logan have been great -- cooking, doing dishes, fetching, carrying stuff, etc. And to think, we get to do this all over again in a few weeks!

Ben's at summer school and band camp every day this week. His days are long: 7:30 till 6:00, grab a bite to eat and then off to music lessons, church, or Tae Kwan Do. We've made a difficult decision -- to shelve Tae Kwan Do this fall after seven years and a second degree black belt. There's just not enough time to do it all: marching band, choir, music lessons, church, and school work. We belong to the local community center health club and Ben will substitute working out there for Tae Kwan Do. I'm getting him some time with a personal trainer for a birthday gift in July when he'll be fourteen and old enough to use the equipment.

Logan is vegging out for the most part - playing with the dogs, watching TV, playing computer games, and working in the garden. He will go to football camp after he and Ben return from California at the end of July.
