We were able to visit Gerald's family in Indiana and here's a picture from his Aunt Jean and Uncle George's farm, where we sat listening to giant bumble bees slowly hovering around the rafters of the porch. The Indiana days were the warmest of our trip and we spent a lot of time outdoors. When we were up in Michigan, we had a chance to go to the Common Grill in Chelsea for lunch, where we had our wedding lunch last year, to celebrate our one year anniversary with my mother and brothers.
And in other news, just as we celebrated Kaliecia's graduation so recently, Claire has now decided to attend the MFA program at the Dell'Arte school in Northern California. She's ready for the change from New York, and when she sent me pictures of her visit, I once again remembered just how beautiful California is, and what a great location for some indepth study of acting.
I'm done teaching for the summer and here's the site of our end of the year party, on Valkosaari Island. It's a boat warehouse in the winter. Fun to take a ferry to a work function!
Finally, a swan update - seems that they did not suffer too much from overwintering in Helsinki as you can see in this picture. Shortly after I took this picture today, another mom swam up with 4 cygnets and they chased her away.
