Dupont:
A bit closer to being able to go home again, for a few days anyway. Larry reports house is OK but I want warmer weather. Today is the best I have been in over a year!! THAT is wonderful! And tomorrow Jeff and Agata will be here for lunch and Jeff and Robin will talk business after. I made gingered Chick peas - first time in several years and black bean soup.

On Sunday am I opened dreadful corner cupboard and saw the wee box of some sort of lighting meant to be installed in that cabinet??? Asked R and WOW - he installed it, and what a difference! I can SEE things and now it is all redone and many things re-organized and... I found the chick peas and the black beans...!

And the house is clean enough.

I was surprised to see how long I have been absent. I have been overwhelmed by the mess below the border. I hope this good spell holds - eat well and drink lots of water!
