Sam officially graduated. He was second in the line up out of a grand total of eight or nine people. That was a week ago Friday.  Sunday we scattered. Sam left for Alaska where he will be working on a fishing boat for the summer. My eldest brother and his wife went back to their house in PA. My second oldest brother went back to his job in Illinois. Dad and my sisters went back to Missouri. Mom went to Birmingham, Alabama where she attended a geneology conference. And I flew back to Boston and took a bus back to Maine. Quite a long trip. I had an hour and a half flight to San Francisco then a three hour layover then a five hour flight to Boston, then a seven hour wait for the bus then a five hour bus ride. Yay! I got back at ten AM the day after I left.

 This week Anna and Stephanie got back. Stephanie went to visit her brother in Arizona and to drive back with Anna from Texas. They arrived Friday evening.  Then yesterday evening the Worship Radio Network helped to sponsor a concert with Joel and Janna, a brother and sister who sing, and Rush of Fools, a Christian worship band from Alabama. It was a good concert. About a hundred and fifty people showed up.  

 Goodbye, goodnight, guten tag, buenos noches, and all the rest.
