Events and Assignments

Sunday night, after church, we went to my mother's house for popcorn (a long-standing tradition with our family.) Our youngest daughter, Rita Beth, and her husband, Tommy, came over too. Rita Beth was expecting, and her due date was March 9. She said she was having contractions, and we started timing them to see how far apart they were. They were five minutes apart at that time. They went home. A little after ten, they called and said the doctor told them to go to the hospital. We got down there, ourselves, around 11 p.m. At about 3 a.m., the doctor decided to break the water. Then things began to speed up. At 5:47 a.m., Jameson Thomas Dryden made his entrance to the outside world. He was 6 pounds, 6.5 ounces, and 20 inches long. Baby and Mom and Dad are all doing well. Rhonda has gone to spend the week with them.

Assignments:
This week, take one of your chapters or lessons, and boil it down to a one-sentence statement as to what the chapter or lesson was about as a whole.

Last week. Roger, you completed your assignment--Good job.
Sean and Tyler, you still need to complete last week's assignment (unless I missed seeing your final reports). I think you both mentioned at least one word, you could deal with. Finish the report for that one by giving the word, the initial homemade definition, the final homemade definition (could be the same as the initial defintion), and the dictionary definition of the word. For the other two words, you can either go back to last week's reading or you can pick two words from this week and do the exercise.

Events: Birth--Excitement, Starting the "down-hill portion of the course.
Assignments: One-Sentence statement summarizing chapter or lesson.
Finish "word-detective" assignments.

You all are doing a great job of interacting with each other. Think of what it would be like if we had ten participants!

Tyler, again, congratulations on your job. If you come across Ken Nicholas, say "hi" to him for Roger and me. Also, Marylin Avery from our church works somewhere there too.

Have a great day, everyone.
