So, as you all read on Jeff's blog, he will be gone again this summer. The letter we received the other day said that he will be posted in Astoria, which is closer than last time and, thankfully, they are providing housing for him (no crazy old men watching polka 24 hours a day). I've never been to Astoria, so it will be fun to have an excuse to get out there this summer.
But, for the most part, I'll be puttering around the house.
If anyone wants to come visit me, I have every other week off! My friend Liz will get out here, but I'm hopeful that a few other people can come stay as well.
Joy is probably moving out in July, which means that I'll be alone in the house for the first time since I moved to Oregon in July of 2003! I've been lucky enough to have people staying with us every time Jeff is away.
I just had a thought.... Maybe this will be the summer I finally get a dog!
I'm planning on spending a lot of time in my garden, finishing my piano book, really buckling down on my french, and finishing my french history books. If you have any grand ideas of things I can do to occupy myself, let me know!

You could get a Wii and become a pro boxer so that you can beat Jeffrey up when he comes home on weekends - Maybe I'll just send you my list of books I want to read and you can read them and tell me about them. Our summer is shaping up to be pretty interesting too. I'm excited to see you next month!

Sounds good to me!
Google Maps recommends that you raft The Dalles to get to Austoria. The alternate route is to hire an Indian for two sets of clothes.
How about a trip to Tucson?
Love you,
Dad
