Today i received two unexpected phone calls. One was from my friend J in Switzerland, who is still waiting on her husband to sign the divorce papers so she can be done and come home. She is going to be my next house mate! I'm very happy about this. Now i have reason to work hard on the house.
The other phone call was from my second cousin, David. We've only met twice in my life and one of those times was when i was four years old. He and i both have an interest in genealogy, so we share with each other what we discover. He usually lives in Eilat (southern Israel) with his wife and several of their children, but his roots are in Minnesota and he is there now for several months on a job, and two of his grown children are in Minnesota now also.
Today i got some work done around the house (cleaning and minor repair jobs). It feels good to make a little progress.
I hope all of you are well.
