Work:
At the end of April, one of the guest speakers at our annual research symposium invited me to do a joint presentation with him at next year's big international research conference. I was beyond flattered. I drafted a proposal and it was submitted today - we don't find out until October whether or not it's been accepted, but if it is, Seattle, here I come!
Home:
Since we were away for the May long weekend, we decided to open up the cabin this past weekend. We left on Saturday, and came back on Sunday. Somehow, we managed to fit in: Going to the play park; ice cream at the village store - twice; campfire with marshmallows; feeding the squirrel; watching the deer; going to the beach; visiting friends; and seeing a bear.
It makes me feel so good that my kids are developing the love for the lake that I have. Alex is asking constantly if we can go to the cabin. Stephen loves it there.
My dad and grandfather would be so pleased.
