It's Coming!

I finally broke down and called up Schoolhouse Press and was gratified to find out that Woolgathering is coming any day now, having been mailed out earlier this week (or was it last week?) . . . so those of you who are waiting for your copy, keep an eye on the mail box.

Meanwhile, I'm starting to gather steam on the 2nd pair of sock. Will I be able to finish it before end of the weekend? One can always hope - at least I'm hoping to make quite a bit of progress.

I think several months ago, I mentioned that Bruce and I were taking Russian classes. Well . . . we've been finding ourselves falling behind, due to the fact that Bruce started a new job, and that we'd been sick for two weeks in February. Also, the way the class is run is simply not working. So, we tried to get out of the class but it just didn't go over too well with the teacher. So, we've decided to stick with it, for at least one more month to keep the peace, and in the meantime we'll be seeing a tutor in order to catch up. Then, after we finally get out of the class, we hope to continue with the tutor. I really want to learn the language; it's just that I think I can get more out of it with a more individualized attention than in a group situation.

I feel bad for the other students as we seem to be holding back the class a bit. I noticed that there were two other people who apparently have dropped out of the class. I'd sure love to learn their secret on how they accomplished this - one of them I see every Sunday at church. Hopefully I can get to him before he goes home next Sunday, if he shows up that is. Wish me luck!
