Rachel²

I cannot forbear to advertise this post by my friend Rachel, who's moving up to Oregon in a week, blowing the joint several months before I will.  Who knows when we'll ever see each other again, but prayer unites us wherever we are, and I'm so glad we got a last good talk in.  If I don't say much more about our friendship, it's because she already said it perfectly, and she's the writer. :) She lived in France for a year and learned to speak French. Boy, could I use some of that.

I can't say what we're doing in the picture; it's a great secret-- even to myself.
