Spring and Angela

One: I have new spring legs. I shaved them for the first time since Christmas, and even then I didn't really want to. Oh, and this endeavor took nearly one half hour. But the weather is amazing; it's hard to be in a bad mood when it's so great outside, for real. Hopefully it sticks around... supposedly it's supposed to snow tomorrow; drat!

Two: I still haven't posted pictures. (update: psyche! I've scattered a few throughout posts!)

Three: Here's a cute exchange I had w/ a student I hadn't seen for a few weeks-

Me: Hi Angela!
Angela: Oh!... em... goo morning!
Me: Donde has estado?
Angela: Em... I... eh... como le dicen "yo extrano"?
Me: "I miss"
Angela: "I meess"
Me: Uh huh.
Angela: Bueno. Em... yo extrano... a you teacher!

Angela is a great lady. She is 70 years old, a recent immigrant from Colombia, and in my morning class. We looked at the word "pharmacist", I asked her how she thought it might be pronounced, and she said, "...en?" So we have some work to do.

Yo extrano Lake Twenty-Two and the Glacier region in general:




But I do have this out our back window, which I think is pretty great also:



Thank you God for beauty.
