Thank you all for your kind thought good wishes and prayers.  I was able to spend the weekend safely in my nephew Jason’s  house along with his wife and two young daughters – though we were without power for most of my stay.  He and his family remain without power!  Jason and his family are big fans of Japan, having visited there this past year.  Their house is filled with beautiful Japanese artwork.  On Friday night, before the power went out, Jason cooked a great meal, including miso soup!

During this past week, when I was most uncertain if I would have a home to come home to, I was always encouraged by all of you.  I truly have the best job in the world because of all of you! 

Thank you very much.
