I'm doing 29 things
I talked my mother into teaching me to knit on my last visit around Christmas. I’m starting on placemats and dishcloths, then an afghan, then I hope to get to socks. I know everyone starts with scarves, but its so hot in Texas – who needs ‘em? I am going to knit this Sunday with a group, and I hope to finish my second placemat of four.

A friend introduced my to a summer intern from France, and I have been practicing a little every week while driving her to and from church. Boy, it is impressive how much you can forget about a language in just a few years. Especially, how to hear it, as well as the more obvious problem of remembering how to speak it. Two weeks and counting on this goal!
I am better at weeding the junk from the non-junk, and getting better at throwing it away. I need to work on getting more of the non-junk out of my house, though.
