Hello again my friends--inspired by other blogs such as the one my Son and lovely daughter in law write http://jessicaandarthur.blogspot.com/2011/06/alive-jessica-and-arthur.html?showComment=1307650978237#c7607888757065102405 and my mom's (can't find it right now, I will post it later). Still working on my dissertation, but have hit a lot of health problems. I am therefore trying to get a medical leave during the summer, to help me get on top of my health, R&R, and catch up with life & my family.
