Here's the haps

So in the more recent news of the Erickson household...

Logan Arthur has been booted off to boot camp. He's joined the Army and has reported for duty in some eastern state.

I think he looks very nice with his new regulation hair cut. He came to visit us for the evening, we took him to the Japanese Teppan grill. He seemed to enjoy it and it was good to see him get along with his older brother- even if it was only for a few hours.

My oldest nephew is now a father. He and his girlfriend have a baby girl- Shyanne Rayne Bullard. Shyanne was born on July 18 right into her grandmothers arms. Apparently her Mama was having some uncomfortable back ache, but the baby wasn't due for another week or so. In the middle of the night Mama woke up Grandma (my sister) and said she should probably go to the hospital and in the few moments it took my sister to get ready, Mama suddenly said Oh NO! and out popped Shyanne! My sister caught her and all is well!

August has finally arrived... In the next couple weeks I will finish up with the FTC productions of "Othello" and "Two Gentleman of Verona". I haven't costumed 2 summer shows in a LONG time- now I remember why I don't do it! I'll be happy to see the productions up and running.

I am pleased to work with so many of out CSUSB students outside of school and make new friends and contacts, but I think that maybe I really do need a break from putting up a show during the summer- I end up burnt out and crabby. As we all know, I'm usually crabby, but burnt out too is NOT good!

So... there's some recent news from our end of the universe- What's new with you?
