LANDSCAPING THE SUMMER AWAY. Life has slowed quite a bit since graduation, but is still busy. We're working on several long overdue landscaping projects. Getting rid of some pines and planting new ones. I've been trying to add some diversity to our already diverse selection of plants, trees, shrubs and flowers. Trudy Eagen, ( Garden of Eagen ), who sells tropical plants and seeds on Ebay, and is giving us some advice. Its my hope that the seeds we plant today will make for a more beautiful and interesting campus in a few years! We still have several trees that we would like to identify.

GRADUATION. Well there were glitches along the way but by 6:00pm Monday evening, a new class of graduates had walked the line and received their diplomas. 11 students received the Diplôme en théologie (the equivalent of an associates degree) and 2 received the Licence en théologie (similar to a B.A. in the States). The two and half hour service was attended by over 600 family and friends. The campus quiets down a bit after graduation, a much needed break from the hectic pace we've kept the last few weeks!
