Awwwwww!!!! (posted by Ann)

Tell you what, if I knit a sweater the baby turns out really cute. Here is my boss' little girl, Julianna, in the pink sweater. Isn't she adorable? And bright eyed - from what I hear, she doesn't sleep, and I'm sure that's only the beginning of how she'll run them around!

I am almost packed for India. I leave tomorrow night, and will return next Thursday. I will have time for a little shopping while I'm there, and I keep hearing about how jewelry is so cheap . . and silks . . . and rugs . . . good thing I only have one day! Steve and Don have frozen chicken pot pie, spaghetti, and lasagna to keep them from starving while I'm gone. I'll be posting while I'm there, so you can hear about it.

I am bracing myself for 8 hours to Frankfurt, then 3 hours layover, then another 8 hours to Bangalore, India. I am taking knitting (did you ever doubt?) to keep me from going stir-crazy. The plan is to sleep the first 8 hours, stay awake the second 8 hours, and then when I arrive in Bangalore at 1AM local time I'll want to sleep. That's the plan, anyway. I'll tell you how it works.

Wish me luck!!
