In which we play catch-up
Thursday, March 6th, 2008 06:53 pmIt comes to me that several things of note have happened over the last week and that I have, um, failed to note them.
First! I have a communication from Amelia Chamberlain (aka![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ambleebear), the director of the Willow Brook Village Museum. She tells me that the antique wooden carousel on the village grounds does allow rides once a month on Saturdays from 10:30 - 3:30, May through October. For those interested in the carousel or the village, the website is here.
Second! I am in receipt of pine cones! Big, honking California pine cones sent by a generous reader. This is a great happiness. Also, a source of relief. See, the letter explaining the pine cones arrived a week ahead of the actual cones. As the envelope appeared to have been torn and was repaired with duct tape, I had been concerned that someone at the post office had been unable to restrain themselves, broke into the envelope and made off with my pine cones. I am soooo glad that this desperate scenario was merely the product of my overactive imagination.
Third! I have a card reader! And it works a rare and wonderful treat! Special thanks tosraun for the pointer and to everyone who pitched in to help the Leewit.
Fourth! I broke 50K. Wow, did I think that was never going to happen, or what? I provide proof:
Progress on Longeye:
50704 / 100000 words.
51% done!
