Everything's Kewl:)

Our last comment from Tangerine on our previous post expressed concern that we hadn't posted since swan wrote about our family melt down (well, swan's and mine anyway) in the immediate aftermath of our stressful weekend entertaining our family for my mother's memorial service and interment. First of all I need to let you know we are all well and happy, albeit dealing with a huge load right now of work and financial stress. My goodness, swan had a day yesterday that began at 7:00 AM, when she arrived at school, and ended with her return home at 10:30PM...sheesh what a week! Too we are struggling to support my father in his adjustment to life without his wife of 65 years as he approaches his 90th birthday. We are a bit over extended in terms of time, energy, and resources.........but just fine.

We will no doubt have some posts soon getting into some more "exciting" aspects of our existance, and of course too swan's erutdite sharing of her internal monologue in response to her/our life. Hopefully t too will share some of her all too rare but always wonderful insights and experiences.

I know we have been absent for a week and a half and we will no doubt catch up with you all here soon.

I did manage while swan was completing our taxes last Saturday to identify a lovely 12 plait, black snake, four foot long, signal whip on Ebay that I am avidly anticipating the arrival of, and I am sure, no doubt, swan is as well:) That should provide grist for a post. We'll let you know how that goes.

For Tangerine and anyone else who has worried, we are OK, and thank you for your caring and concern. We are all fine, if not a bit frazzled.

All the best:)

Tom
