Hello folks :)

 

Recent times have been oh-so-delightful!  Last night there was a real live thunderstorm (in Seattle!) and a bluegrass jam with a next door neighbor who clogged to it.  Corrie and Ba are here... they'll be back to Sula soon bringing Eli as well.  Then Vincent will get here at some point and in the mornin' we'll leave with L'Arche friends for a weekend camp out... instruments included!  It was intense to have my Berea kids here with my Seattle friends... it was suddenly apparent (more so!) that I'm really leaving and I know where I'm going.  It will be hard to leave. 

 

...also something I must rave about is Burgerville!  http://www.burgerville.com/  Check it out... it looks like fast food, but it's local!  Their wiki article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burgerville,_USA  ... I cried I loved it so much :)  Then we wrote a song about burgerville... I'll share it soon perhaps. 

 

Thanks to folks who sent well wishes when I was sick!  I think y'all have healed me on up.
