From the desk of Keeping Your Fingers Crossed...

Darlings, I've not been wanting to say anything due to jinxes, but I have some promising news to share.

1.) Mother Vel-DuRay had latest round of tests, and things are looking awfully well for her. They are doing one last chemo (just for giggles?) and will do a final round of tests, but it looks like the cancer is all gone away. It did leave an awful mess behind however, so all sorts of rehab is necessary. Stay tuned to this channel for more information.

2.) I've loved my time as a Christian Homemaker, but the whole gamut of lunches, fashion shows, bridge dates and church activities does wear after a while. Therefore, I've had a series of interviews with a Major Concern, and it's lookin awfully like I might have a New Position. I won't say what it is, except to hint that, in a previous era, it might have been part of what was called the Home Economics department. Very much more to the point, it pays as much as I was making at Today's World, so keep your fingers crossed.

In Any Event, it looks like I will be returning to the heartland in a week or so for a few weeks at The Old Home Place to put things in order for the social season. Before that, however, I have all sorts of things to give you hints and tips about. So just rest your collective bustles.

In the meantime, enjoy this photo of the old Omaha bus terminal.
