July 29 2001: |
My brother, David, has just returned from his trip to New York City! A major to do for him, I gather. After staying at a fancy hotel in Union Square and dining in fine restaurants, he is readjusting to "everyday" food. David is recovering from a minor illness that he shared with me.
In other news, we have discovered a cherry plum tree bearing fruit at my brother's place. The plum is "cherry-sized " and tart in flavor. My mom is feasting on the plums.
Scrumptious Queen Anne plums are growing from a tree on our rental property that is now on the market. As the tree is quite tall, we used a "fruit picker" to harvest the plums. Coordinating the contraption is a skill that requires a strong arm, patience, and concentration. These plums are delicious and well worth the effort.
As for myself, I just completed an introductory C programming course and a web design course using Dreamweaver. I am volunteering at the Red Cross and am working on an internal newsletter. I have been unemployed since February of this year and remain positive that I will soon find a good job opportunity. I will endure.
Always.
