What a quick week we have had. Gail continues to be busy as always. Yesterday (Saturday) she had two Pampered Chef shows and booked 3 additional ones. Things have really picked up and she is glad. Gail was also invited to join the board of the Ruby Mountain Symphony. She attended her first meeting on Thursday evening. Her past experiences serving on the board of the Concord Chorale will come in handy and she is glad to find an outlet for her talents. The Symphony occasionally has guest soloists and may provide an outlet for her beautiful talents.

The boys both are doing well. Matthew particularly has really blossomed this school year. He continues to be getting great grades. Surprisingly, his lowest grade has been in math, which was always his strong point. Both boys seem to be enjoying school as well. Nikolas continues to practice his baseball skills and is looking forward to being able to play.

Since returning from vacation we have not seen much of Andy. This weekend he has been attending a class to obtain his motorcycle license. He concludes today and yesterday he had the written part of the exam, which he passed. He reports that he was very nervous yesterday while driving around, but had a good time and found it fun. Monday was the holiday and since has only been home to sleep and change to get to work. Tuesday he had a trial which was returned as not guilty, always a boost in the confidence. He was out in Wendover on Wednesday, juvenile court most of Thursday and Friday was occupied with a preliminary hearing on a major felony drug case. He really enjoys the criminal defense work and may have finally found his thing in the law.

That about sums up our week. We hope you are all well.
