Not a lot of progress this week. I thought I would get more finished on our trip last week, but was busy with things from home, and when we returned was even more busy than I had been before. However, I did start Warda and think it will be finished in time for Mother's Day.

We have a lot of travel this month. Well, not a lot, but a couple trips. One is back to Los Angeles, which delights me, and another is to Walla Walla, which will also be a lot of fun and a good break for me. We are hoping that that break will let us return to some real progress and positive change in the difficult situations we are navigating right now.

I did weave in the ends on my socks, so they are finished, finished, finished. You can see the mismatch of striping on the feet, but they will be in my shoes.

Unfortunately, because of my delays, the newsletter for April is not going out, and there will be a combination April and May issue going out as soon as both Nisseet and Warda are ready for beta. Life is still kicking our tails, though we are trying to cheerfully and prayerfully endure and overcome.

My reading has still been scant. I've read a little in Autobiography of Calvin Coolidge and peeked into Mrs. Pollifax on the China Station exactly once.
