Lightweight

I'm out in eastern Washington state visiting Rob's family. Today we are out wine tasting. The wineries out here are lovely. I'm surprised how much I enjoy the merlots. It seems that every time I go on wine tours I get tipsy much faster than everyone else. I am such a lightweight. Unfortunately, I am a sleepy drunk, so I need to stop before I drink too much.

Fellowship

As a lover of words, I love how a word can come into play in a situation with a variety of nuances.  The word of the weekend is "fellowship."

A lot of time the last few days has been focused on revising my application to the AAHID graduate research felowship. I did not get accepted for 2010, but I am reporting for 2011. This has gotten a lot of my mental energy...i would love to win this, and with my reworking of the proposal I think I have a pretty good chance.

I so enjoyed good fellowship this wedkend. Rob's sister Debbie and brother in law Matt were in town to visit. I really enjoyed spending time them.

I must admit that I am a bit worn out from juggling all this fellowship. I am looking forward to some downtime.
