Book & Paper Arts Calendar Updates - July 4, 2018
Hello everyone,
I hope everyone had a Happy 4th just the way you wanted! As I sit writing this update and I am surrounded by the noise of fireworks and sirens and I am suddenly keenly aware of the passage of time. Bill and I had a pre-4th celebration with some friends up in Tehachapi, CA. It was a lovely time spent observing hummingbirds, woodpeckers, blue jays, oreoles, tufted titmice, ravens, ospreys, a vole, deer, and a bob cat making their appearances. Hot air balloons showed up above the tree tops in colorful whooshes as we made our way to a pancake breakfast. It is always good to meet new friends and reconnect with old ones.
We leave for Malaysia on July 10 for a family wedding and informal high school reunion. This is one of our longer trips - 5 weeks - we get back on August 14. This is the 1st time my brothers and I have will have been together in Malaysia since 1981! I plan on sending out updates while we are there but they will probably be more abbreviated. I figured out how to use a bluetooth mouse (rechargeable via USB) with my tablet, an ASUS ZenPad, that also has a bluetooth keyboard.
