Internet problems this morning. It's 15 out; maybe that has something to do with it. I have to take Cameron out soon and I really don't want to. We had warm oatmeal with brown sugar, half & half, and banana, as well as toasted homemade bread with peanut butter.

Yesterday I made bread and worked on my shade. The sewing machine was challenging, but I managed to do it.

I visited with a young woman, Natalie, to talk about her organic vegetable garden. This is for a program called Time Banking, a sort of barter. One hour of anyone's time is worth the same--you earn hours and spend them based on your skills and the needs of the other people. It was quite fun to be an expert.

Ray was gone all day; his last class for one of the courses he teaches.The rest of us had basic fish soup with our homemade bread. I fell asleep about the time he came home, although kept trying to wake up and watch whatever he was watching.
