ASHLEY'S MISSION TRIP

Today Ashley lands in Romania on her mission trip with staff and volunteers from Cook Children's Hospital.
They have set up a blog to document their activities but haven't posted to it since Feb. 27.
The blog is: http://childliferocksromania.blogspot.com/

I called to ask about her and she left at 9 something this morning for NYC where she changes planes to go to Romania, so it will be very early in the morning when they get there. They have a post on the blog about getting to NYC.

LOU'S BOOK FROM HOSPICE

Monday I drove to Abilene in the mist and rain to pick up the 15 copies of the book prepared by a hospice volunteer who is a retired prof. I mailed a copy to Dr. Grider, gave one to our housekeeper, Lydia, who was so helpful the last week of Lou's life and mailed a copy today to TWU for their collection of Lou's stuff. Kathy said she wants copies for her children and offered to pay the $20 each which will be a big help. I have a copy for family members, I hope. I can probably get more if needed. I have it in PDF format for anyone who can look at it in that format. I sent that to the immediate family.

Today I filed my income tax electronically and got an email saying the IRS had accepted it and I didn't need to do anything else. Earlier I was told I would have to file a special form to document the gift of her books to TWU and I may have to do that later.
