The snow still looks good, but it’s melting fast and by tomorrow will be seen only in patches here and there.
Enjoyed “stone soup” at Looneys’ last night. This is a familiar event set up by my bro Dave’s Sabbath school class. It comes from an old story about not having enough to eat but putting another stone in the soup to help it go around. So we all come with our various contributions for the soup, and when they’re all stirred up and cooked together, they always taste delicious.
Of course I had to sample each of the five desserts people brought: cookies, cake, and others.
Today I’ve spent in total solitude. Which isn’t that hard to take. I was working at a pretty good pace about 2 pm and suddenly became terribly sleepy so took a nap. I keep putting of work I need to do to make some $$, and I will probably regret it soon.
I did get some interesting email, including a note from Lora restating her determination to be here for “Knife Day” on February 19–unless the roads are bad. I told her it would be almost spring by then and the roads will be dry. Maybe.
Janet Qualls says they have room for me to stay there the night after the knife cutting event, so I should be warm and safe.
And Lois chatted with me after church a bit about staffing the primary division while she is gone. She didn’t know anything about the scheduled surgery and is leaving tomorrow for three or so weeks in India. “I won’t be here to be with you!” she said. She was with me when I was about to go under from a yellow jacket reaction and brought me cooked food when I was getting over my broken wrist.
Such a blessing are true friends.
