We have had a very mild winter - so far.  It has been lovely, and I have not even had a case of cabin fever!  Daffodils are out full force by my front steps.
   We did have my car rear-ended at a stop light, by car car that was pushed into us by a big rig.  The rig's fault - the driver said he wasn't paying attention!  After much fighting - ahem! - discussion - with both insurance companies, I should get a check and be able to get my car fixed this coming week.  Ray was not hurt.  I had some squeaks in my neck and low back, and have been getting treated for them.  I'm about back to normal, whatever that is, about now.  The gal in the middle car was in much worse case.  
   My daughter Eden has found a permanent teaching job.  My daughter Teddie has prospects, and continues to substitute meanwhile.  Ray's son, Mike, found a much better job, and started it last Monday.  So far, my son Lee and his wife, Betty, are keeping their heads above water, in the NYC area, with music.  I think they'll have to get day jobs soon, though!  My daughter Necia is recovering from arthroscopic knee surgery, and looking forward to walking with less pain.
   i have done a little sculpture - a carved relief of a fish, which I sent to my friend Arrik, to thank him for sending me the wood to make it, and several other carvings beside.  Now, to get back to the work bench! And make a lot of chips, and learn more about carving!
  Meanwhile, Ray has started to build a 15 foot catboat, which is a rarity in this area, but fairly common in New England.  But it's a sturdy, steady boat, which the two of us can handle, (and I've never been in a sailboat in my life!) so it will be a good project, both in the building and in the using, later.
  So, since our health remains good, and we can be active and involved, and we continue to bask in each other's company, life is good.
