More Of The Same

Not a whole lot has changed since my last post.

The garden is coming into fullness. We have eaten our first peaches. It is a fine year for them. They are large and sweet. The tomatoes are coming in as well with equally good flavor. And the green chile is just starting and will pick up steam through the summer. My basil plants are nice and full promising pesto in the future.

Theodora Project continues to move forward. The first contacts to people for fundraising have been made. This is going to be nervewracking no matter how you cut it. After all the emotional investment and work plus knowing it has such potential the specter of failure to achieve the goal looms large in my consciousness. But as the cliche goes, you miss a hundred percent of the shots you don't take. And all around me seem to feel that it will all turn out fine.

For pay work is really going well. Hard to believe that 30 days ago we were bemoaning the lack of cash, income and clients. I have a number of projects that are very stimulating with plenty of assets and motivation by my clients to stimulate my professional interests.

And we have Granddaughter 1.1 visiting us. She is 14 and going into her Freshman year of high school. I have always had more affinity for children as they grow older and 1.1 is at a perfect age where her mental capabilities are such that conversation is very stimulating. PLUS from a culinary standpoint, she has become pescaterian...she only eats fish among the animal proteins. Well this is fine and dandy with us because we love fish. We cooked salmon steaks one night and then roasted whole Golden Pompano the next. Tomorrow we are going to make a mayonnaise-based salad from the leftover fish. 1.1 is an enthusiastic eater and is a joy to cook for.

So the the great ship transitioned life contines its voyage.
