We should find out tomorrow where and when we go next.<\/p>\n<p>I did a small-medium clear-out of some items that have been on my list&#8230;some glassware and dishes &#8211; family stuff that I&#8217;ve packed and moved and packed and moved and packed and moved! &#8211; things taking up space that I want and need for other purposes.  I kept the things that really matter to me and the rest I donated.  I spoke to both my grandmothers (both in Heaven!) as I packed and thought about how and where&#8230;  It was good and I am confident that all will go where it should.<\/p>\n<p>I took my first film photos.  As I was taking them and changing camera settings, it occurred to me that I should record the settings.  I am so used to being able to see the settings with the digital output that I forgot this was not going to be available with the film camera.  And I made some notes about how different this little camera feels.  An interesting exercise.<\/p>\n<p>I made Chinese scallion &#8220;pancakes&#8221;&#8230;more later but they will be a staple.  They are somewhere between a tortilla and a spiced up naan.  Bottom line:  delicious!
