Things seem to be getting closer to normal around here. Our neighbors across the street have their electricity back on, but I ran into a lot of people in the stores around town today who are still waiting for their power to be restored.
I got to talk to Anne by phone today. She got safely to her friend's house in nearby New Albany last night, and we are meeting at Schimpff's Confectionary for lunch tomorrow at 12:30. Eler Beth was talking about it earlier, and I told her that Anne was really looking forward to meeting her, and she said, "She's looking forward to meeting me?" And I said, "Eler Beth, everyone wants to meet you!" Which reminds me, she has a couple videos she needs to put in her journal.
We got some new school books in the mail yesterday that I had ordered from Janis. Eler Beth likes to pretend she's irritated with Janis for having lesson books for sale, but she just jokes with her. She's very happy with the art book I got her though. By the way, if anyone out there would be interested this is Janis' site where she has posted the books she's selling. I have been very pleased with everything I've bought from her -- they are all in good shape and her prices are very reasonable.
Okay, well, nothing more really to write, so I guess I'll close. I am really looking forward to meeting Anne tomorrow. She sounded just like I thought she would on the phone. I'm taking my camera, so hopefully I'll have some good pictures to post tomorrow afternoon.
Today's Salute goes out to:
Braga, Portugal, population 175,063,
4,101 miles from Jeffersonville ~~
Sa-LUTE!
