A change at home

Joely moved out to a different host family's home. We are all a little sad about this. We might be getting a male exchange student this weekend, but we don't know yet.

The weather has been hot, but not as bad as a couple of weeks ago--thankfully.

John starts school tomorrow. I got him a TI-84 Plus Silver Edition calculator; this should get him through all of his high school and early college math classes. If he goes on to take more advanced math than calculus, he might need to invest in a more advanced model, but that is several years down the road. This one is much more powerful than what I used when I went to graduate school 20 years ago, let alone the slide rule and trig tables that I used in high school math.
