Dear Family and Friends,
Life has become so full and beautiful that I've had trouble finding time to sit down and write to you guys. Please don't be concerned. My cat Abbakadabra popped out of my house one day last week and disappeared. She never came back. I guess she must be dead. Quickly I've realized how relieved I feel that I don't have to worry about her peeing on my carpets anymore. When I came back from Dallas last weekend, she wasn't here, and I really didn't miss her a bit. It's so nice to have on black pants today and know she won't be crawling into my lap and ruining them and that when I sit down on the toilet, she won't be accosting me to get in my lap. She had really become somewhat of a nuisance.
My trip to Dallas was amazing. I met little Anna Zhulan Corry, a little Chinese six-year-old girl from somewhere. Barbara, her mother, is doing such a fine job of orienting her to our American ways. Anna speaks English as well as my niece Hannah. It's unbelievable really. She must be related to God.
My students finished their semester projects on Friday. Everyone of them had a tale to tell about how their computers or printers screwed up. They all ended up burning the midnight oil even though I paced them through this project so they shouldn't have had to. I guess God wanted to test them this way. Their projects are like little dissertations. I'm planning to savor each one. I have the advantage of being able to evaluate and read them one at a time over this holiday. One day at a time. Wonderful. So different than other years. You can see they were proud of their work.
Hopefully by next week, things will have settled down on this starship so that I can write a true detailed letter to all of you. Life here is exciting, and I'm going places like Lafayette and to Mistle Toe and Moss, and I really have this premonition that there's a prince charming looking me up. A box just seemed to fall from heaven on my car. He seems to be saying he likes this independent woman.
Thank you, all of you guys....
With love, Linda
