All Together...

We are all together. Erin and Al came to Madison on Wednesday after camping with Al's family at Governor Dodge State Park (Anne went to visit with them and go hiking on Tuesday.) Alana arrived about a week earlier to visit and also clean out her room, which will become one of our hobby rooms. Ack spent most of last week at a meeting in Corvallis, OR. In addition to hanging out, we went to see "I See Her Everywhere," a play that Reed Gaines (Margaret and Meg's son) was in. It was at Shake Rag Alley in Mineral Point, a beautiful arts-centered historic town in southwest Wisconsin. Reed was very good in a tough role. The play, written by a local playwright, could have used Anne as an editor. Al is playing in an ultimate frisbee tournament this weekend - final round is on Sunday. The portrait was taken just before we took Alana to the airport to return to DC. We think of Mom as she is back in the hospital, and are so grateful to our family members caring for her.
