   School is fine, the class I am taking this semester is an online class.   
   With it being summer, it is 6 weeks long instead of 13-15 weeks long, so you   
   really have to discipline yourself to get all the work done in the shorter   
   amount of time.  I hope I pass, if not I will be retaking it in the fall.   
      
   Yes, both girls are very grown up.  Julie is home for summer and her   
   boyfriend is living with us, since his mom moved to Texas this past winter.   
   Sherry has been "dating" the same boy for a couple of months now, but with   
   school being out, they rarely see each other, but I am glad I don't pay by   
   the minute for phone calls, otherwise I would be broke.  They talk for hours   
   on end on the phone.  I think they have seen each other twice so far this   
   summer.  But there are so many times that he is in SoCal with family so they   
   are not even near each other to be able to see each other.
