Busy and Productive Week

This week Dan focused on going through all his dissertation-related books to determine which pages need to be scanned prior to going to Venezuela in August. To avoid hauling books in suitcases, we are trying to take as much research material as possible in electronic format. He ended up going through about 150 books this week, marking to-be-scanned pages in 120 of them. Additionally, we both worked on getting our newsletter formatted and sent to the printer. Plus we've both spent a lot of time discussing logistics related to our move. What to store? What to sell? What to give away? What to take to Venezuela? What to buy there? So we've had a very busy but productive week. Next week Dan will need to shift his focus to field research arrangements, while also doing some occasional book-scanning. Nancy will finish the work with the newsletters, plus make more progress in our logistical preparations. We had a few nice spring days at the end of the week. Today is windy, cool, and rainy, but warm days are due to return again tomorrow or Monday. Thanks for your continued prayers and support. Much Love, Dan and Nancy
