Running with the Beth

It is so cold here and the house is so cozy and there are books to read and computers to play and yet, Beth and I are going to run around.  Why?  We certainly do not need a market.  I cleaned the refrigerator this morning, made ham salad, froze the big ham bone for soup in the future and am sick of the sight of food of any kind.  Many people I know are not feeling well and the other night I had one of my spells--oh my, I sound like an old woman--having a spell?  Maybe I am watching too many Victoria movies? Anyway, this household seems well enough and I understand there are bargains to be had out there, so off we go in a couple of hours.

Nate, world traveler:

Nate Lechler is posting the most glorious pictures in Hawaii.  I think he will be there for a while longer then head to see friends in New Zealand.  He has made the most fascinating acquaintances on his trips around the world.  I wish he would write a blog of his travels, but he does not seem interested in that aspect.  The flowers today are an orange-flowered hedge.  It is on his Facebook along with other shots of Hawaii that are off the beaten path.
