dinner and schoolwork

whenever i make minestrone soup, i'm reminded of when my mom was in rehab after her hip operation (at easter time!) and we visited with a big bowl of it for her.

chanda had some quantitative reasoning homework in the excel program which she asked greg to help her with tonight.

first day of school

pluto was in the midst of all the action this morning as chanda got ready for her first day of college at the new school, our local university.

 

off to her 8:00 class . . i think the two classes she had today were quantitative reasoning and chemistry of the environment. tuesday and thursday mornings she has a class called anthropocene humanities.

update on henri and school orientation

i think i'll have some sour cream coffee cake with my butter this morning.

so . . hurricane henri ended up down grading to a tropical storm and also shifted further east and didn't come ashore on long island. instead it rumbled into rhode island and knocked out the power for many new englanders. there were also some flash floods, but it wasn't at all as bad as it could have been, thankfully.

zinnia and goldenrod from the green market . . 

chanda has been having several orientation zoom meetings with advisors and fellow students . . she has an in person event scheduled for september, and there is an online zoom event for parents around then also.

 

the living room was busy today . . 

pluto keeps an eye on things . . 

i was doing laundry, dusting, vacuuming and organizing today . . clearing things off the bunk bed in the second bedroom (it's been a catch-all for many items during covid) for morgan's visit (whose plane arrives tomorrow late afternoon).
