Jessica!!

We visited Jessica last weekend, it was great to see her after four months!! These trips are emotionally exhausting, even when they go well, as this one did. We got to spend some time chillaxing like in the good old days, which was really nice. And, it was chilly, so my new winter coat came in handy. She gets up at 530 am and has morning chores on "farm crew" outside most days of the week, so the Florida girl is getting her second dose of real winter! We have all been working hard on her college application, and she is excited about it. If all goes well we will have two B.F.A.'s in our household in 4 years, and I believe my father would get quite a chuckle out of that!! She has been training for the school's annual Quest trip. This will be 11 days and nights of skiiing, backpacking and camping in the Canadian mountains. Oh, yes, it will be in February! We are very proud and excited about how hard she is working and impressed with the strong emotional footings she is learning at the school.
