Hi you two! Thank you so much!! You are both too kind. Really. Yes, I will put my code on your wall, Shenda, as soon as I leave here. Delighted to be your friend. I took down the heart CIs from my WL, not wanting to be greedy. But since you insist. . . shall I put them back up? Callie, your gifts were amazing and I am still downloading them. So many!! Wow!! Thank you!

Yes, it has stopped raining!!!! The sun was actually shining all day yesterday Blue sky!!!!! O.M.G. Today is the same and good weather promised until Saturday (a miracle). Great for all the parades on Thursday. We had visitors over the weekend and it was all go. . . taking them around to see the sights. . . cooking. . . eating. . . playing music. Sunday we drove to Westport, a very charming village on the west coast, and met another American couple. New friends! They are having visa hassles. Not so easy to live here without citizenship. Anyway, I was exhausted today and my tummy isn't feeling up to par. Hmmm. Well, I'm sure it has nothing to do with the eating and drinking that went on over the weekend. Must be the fairies' revenge for some inadvertent slight on my part. The place you are remembering, Callie, is called the Fairgreen. It's a cafe and gallery, an oasis here in the country. It's very close to our house and we love it. We are doing our best to support it and please the gods it will survive. Somehow I have been coerced into participating in a 'Heritage Day' there next Saturday. I'm supposed to demo basketmaking. Yikes! In the meantime, thank you both so much for inspiring me to keep on with the game even though I am not participating in the Spring challenge. Go Mountain people!
