Our computer problems continue but at least we were able to send a June update to our 'revised' address list. Our list is probably 75% as complete as it was before our laptop stopped functioning. Let us know if you didn't receive the update, please. Things are beginning to pop around here: entering last three weeks of the semester to teach and receive student papers; visit from our international director this weekend; our annual field conference in Belem next week (students don't particularly like the work we leave them for the week of classes we will miss but that's life!).
On June 5th we celebrated 37 years of happy marriage, evidenced by the photo. Yes, those are roses! And the other photo shows how pineapples really do grow in the tropics. Takes two years, though. They are in a little 'flower bed' out front, by our now paved street. The neighbor boy and I are carefully watching to see that our two pineapples reach a delicious maturity in the next couple weeks. Nice to see something growing like that.
