Wow, it's 10:30 pm and the power is still on! Time for a quick update.

Dann spent some time today working on electrical at the Casseus' home. Much work left, much accomplished. Apparently, there has been a fire there before they purchased the home for their retirement, which is why all the electrical has to be redone. He then spent a couple of hours with Max, the IT man here. I think they're pleased with the technical upgrades they've made.

Laurie and I made good progress today sorting, tossing, and packing. I'm humbled (and a little terrified) that she trusts me to pack her special heirloom items, such as a tea set from Grandma, and other valuables. After all, it's one thing to throw away old VHS tapes but an entirely different story to wrap antique bowls! I can't begin to tell you how dear Laurie is becoming to me. 

I gave my first knitting lesson this evening, which went well. My long- unused high school French helped a little, as my Creole is nonexistent. However, the young man staying at the same home as we are who could translate jumped in a couple of times, although knitting terminology might have challenged him a bit.

Saturday we will tour the campus, which will be great to see as I've not done that yet.

We're feeling good, enjoying a night off from the rains which can be heavy and long, and looking forward to tomorrow, whatever God may bring. Oops, spoke too soon as the rain just started!

Blessings,  Nancy
