There is nothing much going on but a mac truck load of homework awaiting me after this post. Lots of reading, writing, and metal smithing? I am taking an art class this term that has to do with metal smithing--Jewelry in other words. The prof seems very interesting and eclectic. My Latin American history class sounds very interesting though I do feel very ignorant about our neighbors. For instance, do you know the percent of indigenous peoples in Brazil.. formulate a number in your mind, think of what you've heard in the media. And the real answer: 0.4% .. my answers was around 30% thinking it was a big deal with all of the deforestation and what not.. nope .. many people in Brazil don't even care or now about this minority because it is so little. Anyway .. I do go on. I am very excited for it.. and must get to reading..
I hope everyone's day is lovely.

Hi Sweetheart, how is it going? Mack truckload of school work hmmm? Keeps you busy. When do you start your job? Did you get your package? I see I missed your call, I left you a voice message. Call me back when you can. I have SKPYE open as well. Did you know my Aunt Norma Jean and her husband Uncle Mel (Northrup) spent I think 15 years as missionaries in Brazil, they have adopted children from their that they keep in touch with. They live in Nebraska, I think it would be cool if you could talk to them sometime. Uncle Melvin did an ancestry chart/search of our family (the Short side) They are Seventh Day Adventists and Aunt Norma is a nurse, either an LPN or RN, not sure. Uncle Melvin is a big wig in the church hierarchy, like a regional Director or something of the Adventist schools or at least he was. He may well be retired by now. Well, got to get some stuff done, and need to relax a bit before bedtime. I miss you and love you very much! Momma
Ahh the difference between France and Oregon....swans and seafood and a Mack Truck of homework and idignenous people in Brazil. You girls love and explore different parts of our world. I think it is so cool!!
Good luck on all that homework, so much to learn, so little time.
Love ya dear,
Aunt Dee
Hey Whit,
I miss you! I wrote you a very long email yesterday and then for some reason it deleted itself. I was so defeated that I decided to rewrite it later. So...haven't done that yet, but will. I hope your homework is interesting and keeps the boredom at bay. Sometimes even if it is interesting, it can still be boring. I really hope we can skype soon. I am glad your classes are good (make me some jewelry ?)
Love Reme
