Dear A,
I think you'll recognize most of these people, but there are newbies among us.
My youngest son is Daniel (far left). He's 21 and about to finish up a business degree at George Fox University. He's SO athletic, and he has already acquired many of the home repairs skills that I'm able to teach. He works hard at generating genuine friendships with his peers, both in Bend and away at college.
My daughter and her husband are next. Anna and David co-operate a theater company that is producing The Lightning Thief as a musical this summer. Anna (and David, in increasing capacity) is deeply involved with founding/forging a new Anglican church here in Bend, and David is starting to take the wheel for our home repairs business (exciting!).
Michael and his sweetheart, Rowan, are in the middle. These two are going to be graduating from George Fox this year as well, and are fashioning their life trajectory together. Michael leads the university Fencing/Swords Club and is likely to continue swordplay as his career in mechanical engineering gets going after graduation.
Janet is taking a school year of leave from High Desert ESD so we can move to Vietnam. We're at the beginning of her summer break, so she's just now unpacking from a busy end-of-year push as speech therapist, and we're looking forward to what the summer holds as we prep for the move.
And I'm on the far right (not so much politically, any more...). As of the Identity True You Intensive two weeks ago, I'm identifying myself as a "Gentle Barleyloaf" and "Guiding Shepherd." Guiding Shepherd makes sense without too much explanation, but the Barleyloaf thing we'd have to sit and talk over coffee or a campfire to unpack that one. Or a zoom call. Want to?
Affection,
Tim
