9/10 update from mom

Miss you! Thinking about how your classes are going. I'm going to start reading "Cry, the Beloved Country" tonight so that I can at least feel like you're here doing homework.

Love Kassie's post below -- be sure to read it.

A few updates:
Family: Grandma said she bought a map of South Africa so she can track your travels. Andrea’s in Japan with Bob. One of Grandma’s friends told her she had no one to blame but herself for having two granddaughters in Africa and another in Japan at the same time. Grandma definitely passed on the love of travel!
Puppies: They miss you! I’ve been taking them on walks in the morning and afternoon so they get out. Then they spend the late afternoon/early evening on the deck barking at birds, planes and everything else. The weather’s been really nice the past few weeks, so we’ve been taking advantage of the deck. Tomorrow I’m taking the puppies on the walk with Judy and Ann. And, and check out Emma’s long-lost cousin, http://www.king5.com/video/index.html?nvid=173996&shu=1.
Seahawks: WON!!! 20-6 against Tampa Bay. They looked pretty rough the first quarter. Defense looks really good. They did better than offense -- unusual. OK, Tampa Bay isn’t supposed to be great this year, but a win is a win.
Tennis: Novak choked. He was up in the first set 6-5, serving 40-0 and ended up losing the first set. Roger came back from 5 set points to get to the tiebreak and then one the tiebreak. Second set, Novak up 4-1, lost in a tiebreak. 7-6, 7-6, 6-4.
Novak: You MUST see these: http://youtube.com/watch?v=qR9pj6Op_KU and http://youtube.com/watch?v=xYA_7RUSarU&mode=related&search=. Novak impersonates Sharapova, Nadal, and others. Really funny! But, he should have spent more time thinking about Roger than his impersonations. :-)

I hope you’re having a FABULOUS time!!! Work hard! Talk to you soon!

Love you! Mom
