Ups and downs...

Owen had a really good first day of school. He likes his teacher a lot - she seems really good - and was excited to hear they will be going on a field trip "at least every six weeks" (to where, I haven't heard yet, although the Folsom Zoo is one possibility and I hear last year she took her class to the Maidu Interpretive Center which I think is in Roseville, which is a center for/about a Native American tribe who lived in this area.

The down side is that we are having major problems with our electricity, and it is currently almost 90 degrees in our house. There is no power in the bedrooms and the stove and A/C aren't working at all either. It has been about 103 for the past couple of days and the power kept going out. The electrician told me that heat is a trigger for the power to kick off when your circuit breaker is about to go. Ours is original to the house (1954) and it is time for a replacement. So he is coming tomorrow morning early to get things working temporarily and then on next Wed. will do a full replacement of the electrical box. It is really a drag not being able to get cool, though.
