Sunday drive

Lonnie had to do a presentation in front of her class on Monday, about Betsy Ross.   She got very agitated and did not want to do it.    I stood up with her and prompted her reading the report out loud.   The teacher and classmates were very supportive and gave her a round of applause when she was done.     Lonnie has been fortunate to have classmates that accept her as she is and are always willing to help her or just be a friend.   

We took a drive last Sunday to the top of Sandia Peak, where you can see for miles both east and west.  We took Jenny (the dog) along.   Lonnie did great, and so did Jenny.   After that we went up the road a little further to an old mining down called Madrid.   It is now an artsy-tourist town and popular biker destination.  Everything is kind of laid back there and Lonnie enjoyed climbing and exploring the old train engine on display there.   A long drive, but nice weather and a chance to relax.

One more week of school and Lonnie is out till mid-August.   She is counting the days.
