I went to work in the morning, pretty much got the newsletter ready to go. I just need to hear from someone on the board about the Harvest article. They are not responding to my emails or phone calls. Meredith said we should go ahead and not put anything in. I left about 1 and came home to sit around. Vanessa was at two different doctors, one at 9:30 and one at 1. She didn't really know anything yet, but she was tired and sore. The captain built up a good fire to keep us warm and comfy. Ray didn't come home until almost 8, because he was at the Democratic Committee meeting. I read some and watched TV. The Captain took the squash out of the freezer, put it in a pan on the stove and turned it on. I was glad I had taken dinner out of the freezer the night before to thaw and just had to heat it up.

Ray is taking a field trip to Cloudland Canyon today. He has been getting ready all week. One of the things he has to do is buy groceries for one of the meals--French toast. He has to get gas in the vans and he still has to teach his other classes today. He did not sleep much last night and I don't think the lodge accommodations will be very comfortable. He is packing now. I will probably work part of the day again.
