Off to Nevada


This afternoon a group of us descended on Artisans of Mancos and began to deck it out for the holidays. We've been seeing people coming in and doing Christmas shopping for a week or so now.

This morning we got 15 two-box units of food packages assembled, hoping they will get to needy families in the Durango by Thanksgiving. There weren't any turkeys in them, but we hope the food boxes will help provide basic nutrition for a few families. I also made my report on the annual meeting of the Friends Committee on National Legislation.

And so now we're yawning at 7:30 p.m., fading rapidly but still with things to do. We leave tomorrow for Reno to spend Thanksgiving with Sandy's suns. We're only going to try to make it to Salt Lake City tomorrow, so it shouldn't be a long day and we don't need to worry about getting an early start. The next day may be longer, but we'll have the time change on our side.

So, it may not be too long before I rendezvous with the Sandman! tv
