Hey everybody!*

How was your weekend?  Lovely, I hope.  I headed back into the lion’s mouth of campus ministry with the arrival of the new first-year students and their parents over the weekend.  It was a lot of fun meeting everyone and seeing returning students again—this is certainly one of the most exciting and energizing times of the whole year.

This skirt has been in my dry-cleaning pile since….oh, last summer.  It’s too bad because I love it and forgot how pretty it is and how it moves!

Heat wave up here in New England—90 degrees and up every day this week until we get the hurricane effect this weekend.  Eep.   Naturally, we’re going on retreat with our student leaders this weekend, so we’ll see how that goes. 

I have to tell you, I loved this outfit today!  It just worked for whatever reason and even fit the temperature and humidity and the fact that I had to haul several boxes of extra newsletters up to my office.  Hooray for function and fashion that made me feel great all day!
