This morning when we looked out our backyard was full of quail. We used to see them all the time on the back hill but haven't for a while so it was exciting to see so many. One walked back and forth on the wall while his friends looked for worms!

We saw Ryan today. Mark had a meeting this morning so we got there a little later than we usually do. He looked great and we enjoyed our time. He'd gotten his hair cut and it looked really good. I signed the paperwork for him to start school after Labor Day and he's looking forward to it. There will be three guys from the house going so they will be good support for one another. While we were there a family was visiting that I know from work and their son will be coming into the house following detox. It's a small world to be somewhere 100+ miles away and walk into a family that lives a mile away! We're hoping their son is as successful there as Ryan is proving to be.
