packing....

Alex and I are at the village library in Rockford, OH. Checking emails and such things. Alex is on facebook and I figured it's been a while since we've blogged.

During the past 3 1/2 weeks we have hosted a garage sale, attended a mostly-amish company's picnic, spent hours playing with our neice, toured Detroit, listened to rainbow relaxation tapes, sold quail at a flea market, toured an industrial chicken barn, went shopping for island clothes in Ann Arbor (Michigan), watched relay go-cart races, walked a 5K run, harvested blueberries, drank beer and talked politics with a priest, ate a lot of ice cream, painted a bench and began learning a new language.

There's something special about immersing oneself into another's life. Something really special.

We fly to D.C. tomorrow.
