The View

Hello Everyone-
The view from your camera lens looks like you are really suffering.  Palms, sand, open water, beach chairs...seriously, though, we know you worked hard and you should all enjoy the lovely setting.  Wish we were there!  Cold and rainy here, same weather, different day.  We hope you all haven't been de-climatized by your tropical environs, it will be quite a shock when you disembark Monday night.  Better yet, bring the warm temperatures with you!

All kidding aside, the pictures posted are great.  Your picnic tables looked marvelous, hopefully they will last for many years to come.  The children looked sweet and excited about all of the things you took down to give them.  Kudos to all of you bag-wranglers that got it there to share with the students.  Their smiles say it all.  The stories about teaching and the pictures of many of you interacting with the children in class are my favorite.  Maybe some of you will be inspired to be great teachers like those traveling with you now.   My personal hope is that you all have been so engaged in service and learning that no one has time to think about home or posting to those of us yearning to join you.  It makes your messages and photos that much sweeter.

Not much else is newsy here.  Tell Garrick we checked in, Mary said hello and goodbye to him on her way to a sleepover.  Not much grass growing under her feet, but she did say she was looking forward to you coming home!  Always looking forward to the latest news...
