Entries from July 2007 ↓

The second annual Sullivan family reunion was quite the event. We had many things to entertain us (snipe hunting, ladder ball, kite flying, fireworks, s’mores, etc.). I had something extra special to entertain me: a new Canon Digital Rebel XTi purchased for work at the Bell Museum. I also got a 70–300mm zoom lens. These two things are the reason I had an ungodly amount of photos, but I weeded my way to just under 80 photos.

This was also the last time we’ll be seeing Jane and Ryan for a while as they are moving to Taiwan in 3 days! Travel safe, you two!! We’ll miss you… but hopefully we’ll all come visit, too! At least me, anyway.

I have to sort through photos to keep/delete/print. You can not even imagine how many photos I took.

Iowa is lovely; I have many plans for the future when I possibly live on the farm. I’ve decided that I will be a hot-shot editor of some very small town’s newsletter. Maybe even several small towns’ newsletters! Or church bulletins!

My itchies aren’t really very itchy any more and the swelling has gone down.

I just bathed and scrubbed my feet and I feel SO GOOD and/or beautiful. Note to self: buy better shoes for next year. In fact, buy better shoes before heading to Canada. There will be lots of outdoorsness to hurt me then, too.

I found the snipe and I’m responsible for it’s life until next year. Ellipses so far hasn’t noticed his new companion because he is just so excited that I returned! I missed my kitty so terribly. Farm kitty was nice, Ellipses is wonderful.
