Hey guys! Well so far the summer has been packed with good things and not so good things. The bad news first- my dad is in the hospital again with congestive heart failure. They have him stabilized and may be sending him home in the next couple of days. We'll see...
The good news is my sister is soooo much better and is back home working in Bradley Beach! I brought her home on July 6. Also I went to Paris for 5 days! My friend works for the airlines ( got to use a buddy pass- cheap!) called me up and invited me to go with her family for a short vacation - spur of the moment. I only had 36 hours to decide and pack! It was incredible! I will download a picture or two next time- haven't gotten to that yet- too busy working on the wiki. I also went to Lake George for 3 days and visited Fort Ticonderoga. Lots of fun, I actually went tubing- that is being tethered and dragged behind a boat while on a round floatation device, for the first time in my life. I literally laughed out loud the entire time. I needed a little comic relief even if it was at my own expense.
Wiki- I did some research last night and very early this morning on Booker T. Washington and the artist Martin Puryear. I was looking up sites on metaphors to see if I could find anything more interesting that what I have already in my own "library." I created 4 lessons that can be used with the picture titled, "Ladder for Booker T. Washington." These lessons do not have to be done in any specific order or can be used individually/isolation with other lessons. I still have to link a couple of documents and such, but the first 4 lessons are almost complete. This portion more than completes my requirement of 4 hours of work for the month of July. I have some more ideas brewing for future lessons. Have fun with them!

Sorry to hear about your dad. Hope tings turn out ok. He will be in my prayers. Also didn't know about your sister. Glad there is better news there.
Paris is beautiful this time of year. It is one of my favorite cities, although the many pick pockets was a little irritating.
The work you did on the web site looks great. Mike
We were warned about the pick pockets- there were signs everywhere! We were cautious, aware and lucky - we came home with everything we left with except for having less money and some new souvenirs.
By the way the icon showing on the comment page is my backyard/paddock on a misty morning.
