This past week has zoomed right by me.  I am sure the first thing you all want to know is how’s my house…well…it still smells a bit, but I am putting the walls and floor back together today.  I only found five flies or so still alive this morning, I think it is time. 

Flies, speaking of flies, the black flies are out in full force.  I was raking yesterday and got chewed on pretty good even with my bug jacket on.  Those little 1/8 of an inch insects sure do have a big bite and healthy appetite.  Not mentioned they get in the darnedest places.  I sometimes refer to the students as blood donors.  I feel like I have given a pint already.  Ugh!   A few more weeks to go before they die off for another season.  If that is the price that I have to pay to live in this beautiful place, then it is worth every drop of blood. 

A not so nice group was here and left this place a mess; however, they were followed by the recreation course.  It is always nice to see people return to teach both the recreation and physical education courses here year after year.  The classes are like greased wheels that keep on churning.  The recreation group is out on the trail this week and will return on Thursday.  The group gelled quickly and laughed a lot!  Sung quite a bit too. 

I need to get started on the wall and floor project.  It may take awhile.
