two weeks? Two months? Who KNOWS???

Well, the rumor mill says the Ethiopian fostercare center director is in the US for the next week to 10 days and no referrals can be made until he returns and figures out what children are available!  How crazy is that?  If this is true it will be 2 weeks at the earliest before we can get a referral.  I have also come in contact with a number of other waiting families; one has also requested a girl as young as possible.  So it could be 2 weeks or 2 months for all we know.

I'm keeping busy working on the nursery.  I've got all the flowers, ladybugs and bees done.  I'm working on the eight dragonflies, hoping to get them finished early this weekend. I've found I only can paint for a few hours then I'm done with it for the day.  I'm also working on a number of other projects for Miriam... can you tell I'm a project person?  I'm working on a rag quilt and it is much more time-consuming then I expected.  I plan to eat lunch and return to working on the quilt.
