Today started out with lots of the regular "routine". We had an extra-large group at swimming. It seems like lots of us have medical emergencies with family members this week. Our "swim team" is so close, that we all feel pain and concern for each other.

Studio2 time was fairly slow. Vicki had only one student, and it just wasn't a painting day for me. Vicki continues to be so wired about her upcoming wedding (gee, what a surprise!). She wants to paint, but probably won't until this is all over in 10 days. It really is fun to watch her go through this joyous time.

John went out to get the mail this afternoon, and someone had destroyed our mailbox. There was a hole punched in the door, and the post was broken. Possibly somebody backing out of the driveway across the street backed into it - but we'll never know, I guess. Neither of us noticed anything when we left or returned this morning - but at least we know it happened since midafternoon yesterday. He had to work way too hard installing the new one. We can only assume (and hope) that the vehicle has a bunch of damage. After all, taking out a 4x4" post and cross-piece has got to at least take off some paint.

Today's picture is from the Butterfly Garden at the Aquarium.
