Hello all,

I realized that I hadn't posted in a while, so figured I should put up a little blurb.
Things are pretty good in philly right now. Our new kitchen is almost done, just need to put a few more cabinet doors on, the range hoodm, and a tile back splash for the sink and counter. it looks AMAZING! I can't wait for you all to see it. I assure you, you will be dazzled by it. The new fridge is so much bigger than the old one, and doesn't make loud clunking noises when it turns off. The walls are now all white, not off white or, dare I say, yellowed. Gavin's dad was here from Monday till Saturday night working on it, and he did a great job.

We had a nice weekend in Hanover. I got to dad's at around 2 pm on Saturday, and we hung out while he washed dishes (several weeks worth!), and I got the beds ready for Amy and Rory, who were to come over later. It was a very leisurely afternoon and we just talked and ate cashews from Trader Joe's. C, we will have to go there on our way to dad's birthday celebrations this month: I know you liked those chocolate covered fruit things... anyway. We made rice and beans and salad and had a good long dinner with Amy and Rory, Dad needling Rory about various things "you have a degree in English, you should know these things!" while we killed a large bottle of Shiraz. Dad went to bed soon after and the rest of us stayed up pretty late (1 am), and rory whipped out the guitar and we sang a bit. a little kum bai yah (hehe). We did attend church in the morning, but were late. sorry dad. Rory and Amy went home so Amy could do her homework and dad and I napped and ate China Buffet for lunch. So not exciting, just relaxing.

I am going to Indy next Monday for possibly my 9th and LAST time. right now I am planning doing some thin women stuff for our study in Scranton, which has the right demographics and is pretty close to philly. so I might be going up to good old central PA in the near future. who knows.

JP, I liked the article on Thomas touching the wounds. I always find the search for the "literal" meaning of bible texts fascinating.It IS important to get things straight. I mean, did he touch the wounds or not? Was Jesus a real human being after resurrection or more like a spiritual body? We must develop doctrine around this!!

gotta go.
love to all,
H
