Last, but not least--I can't say I've always wanted a palm tree, but it kind of tickles me to think I could have one.

If we wind up in this house, I expect to spend a lot of time on that back porch.

The scrapes and scratches on the walls are invisible in this picture, which shows the front door from the perspective of the room in which one would formally eat on major holidays and which would otherwise be unused.

It is truly pathetic that I don't understand how to use flickr. Really, pathetic. And yet--I have to wonder--if it's hard for me, can they really be perfect for the audience they intend to reach? (And yes, my keyboard is still short a critical letter. It interferes with all work to try to think around it.)

Must make decision

I have to decide what to do about the broken keyboard. It limits me and annoys me not to be able to actually type on this computer. I won't use my work computer to write of personal matters, but one missed key and two troubled keys makes it impossible to communicate the way I'd like to. But what to do? A new computer just feels like an expense to skip, and an effort not to make. That said, I'm sad that I did not write about our trip to Santa Cruz, our school search, or any of the other stuff that we've done lately.
