are those crystals, or a cure for the flu?

What a crazy week off!! Although our trip to MD was cut short due to illness, illness everywhere!, we all loved visiting. Adam and Stephanie- being in your house was wonderful. And interesting. I was wishing I could transport my sister and Josh there- I know they would love it and I wouldn't be able to paint a picture of it with all the words in the world. Alan was so happy to be able to go to the poetry reading too- he was beaming when he filled me in on what I missed! Aaron and Koa- thanks so much for your hospitality!! I loved seeing the kids in action all together, but It was good that we left. I ended up having Strep- yuck. I hope you are all feeling better. Stephanie included- hope all went well. Seeing everyone really made me excited about Rollins-nice to know it's just a few months away. Oh- so- these pics are of the kids playing scientist with a crystal growing kit MaryJo sent for Jack. It is such a fun thing- we've been growing crystals of all sorts....
