I hope your summer is going just dandy! Before we know it, school will be in and the wonderful months of “the old grind” will be upon us. I don’t say that sarcastically, I mean it! God is good! Each season has its wonderful aspects and there is much to be thankful for, if we are on the look-out!! It’s all in the attitude, right?!

It is indeed fatally easy to think we have educated a child when we have trained him to think, to acquire masses of useful information, to do many useful things. We could do all this and leave his inner spirit untouched or dulled. Someone has written that modern education has produced a world, completely out of tune with beauty, unaware of it, and incapable of seeing it, reverencing it or producing it. It would scarcely be too much to say that in dismissing or belittling what is beautiful we are dismissing God. For God is Beauty as well as Truth and Goodness, and all the beauty we can see is but an addition to the store through which we become aware of God. -Dominican Nun, Australia, 1955

Spinal taps often give/leave the patient with horrific headaches. A girl, who is know a grown woman, has had headaches from her spinal tap for over thirty years. If they start to happen, they may need to find a good remedy. I have heard that some homeopathic remedies are very helpful in healing. Very glad Agnes is better!
What lovely pictures! God bless your family!
