Random Saturday

• Rain!  It rained nearly the entire week.  We're still not sure if our water is safe to drink.  The power was off for nearly the entire day on Friday.  But thankfully, the lights came on just as it was getting pretty dark.  And not a moment too soon- just in time for our Friday night family ritual:  pizza and the Amazing Race.   

• On the Amazing Race- our family faves are Michael and Kevin.  The shopping hostesses amuse us.  Rude boyfriends need to go!!
• Another reason to learn languages...  old, but still funny!
• I think we're becoming acclimated to the tropics- this morning 70 F feels cold.
• To warm up, I'm attempting Curried Butternut Squash soup, with apples instead of pears.  Stay tuned.

• Four Holy Gospels, a Bible illuminated by Makoto Fujimura that will be released in January 2011, looks absolutely beautiful! 

Happy Saturday!
