Hello from The Vale

We did see the lunar eclipse Wednesday night.  It was great.  Starting about 7:00 p.m. we stepped into the back yard and watched the growing cover on the moon, it was kind of dark across an orange colored moon.  Later when we checked back it was starting to uncover, by then the moon had moved higher in the sky and was a clear sharp white with a definite black shade on it.  I tried to get some pictures but my digital camera had dead batteries.  I have tried with the video camera but still need to download what I did manage to get.  Will post them if they turned out at all.

I have two interviews for work next week so I hope everyone thinks good thoughts the last half of next week.

Not sure what is going on with this blog.  I have tried to change the presentation of the blog and it seems to automatically go back to the default picture instead of letting me choose what I want to show.

Wow, it has been a month since I last posted.  No real change in the job area.  I am still applying and interviewing.

The weather here has been absolutely gorgeous for the past week…until yesterday and today when it clouded up again.  Rain is in the forecast for the rest of the week so it is very doubtful that we will be able to see tonight’s lunar eclipse.  If there is a break in the cloud cover I will be sure to post tomorrow and let everyone know.  In the meantime, no sense in holding your breath.  I don’t want anyone turning blue from suspense.

We took a short trip to Olympia last weekend, really enjoyed our visit with our friend up there.  It has been about 8 months since we saw her last.  Her little calico cat is not so little anymore and really knows who rules in that household.

I have finished putting together the cookbook.  Now I am trying to decide on a title for it.  If you have suggestions for a title, please post here or email me.  I would really like to get it published by Easter.
