What’s new?

Two photos tell a story here. Mary went down to Daytona to visit John and Marilyn for a week. Me, on the other hand, have been au village for three weeks now, plugging away on the pre-school class we're building. Progress is slow but moving along.

Mary's had her own slow progress as she continues to have nerve pain in her hands and arms. Her back is better, but....

This week was both the first day of spring and David's birthday. Hope it was the best birthday ever. I can see the temperatures on my phone and see warm weather all over. I remember David saying that both Matthew and Jeffrey were going to join him at an oval box making workshop in March. Hope it went well.

We see Thomas growing and enjoying extended visits from his Portuguese grandparents and he has even said the word "avo" Portuguese for grandma.

Margaret and Andrew have gone and come back from a brief vacation to Mexico. Annie had work on the east coast and came to keep Mary company for a few days. Akiba is Fang for merci. Annie had some legal questions that Peter helped her with. Another "akiba".

I saw a headline for an article in the Times about giving up on Facebook. I have been without access since getting here and I have to admit I miss it. That's where I get most of the family news and photos.

Hope everyone is happy, healthy and thriving. Love from over here
