Rachel had a brilliant idea to get me this thin flexible piece of fabric–space age teflon fabric, that is–which catches all the drips in the bottom of the oven. When dirty, you just take it out and wipe it off.
I got lots of other nice gifts too, some I haven’t even had time to try out yet.
In other news, Gary’s trip to Oregon got bumped up by 12 hours (for an obscene about of extra money) because the folks organizing his conference were none too clear about the starting time. At noon today he discovered that his presentation was early tomorrow morning, earlier than his flight arrival time!! So, we scrambled and got him on a flight this evening. That made things rather hectic today, but he phoned me saying he was on the plane, had been upgraded to First Class, and the plane was scheduled for ontime take off. He has made tentative plans to see is sister Teresa on Friday, so we’re hoping that works out. And on Sunday he will be preaching at Gateway Presbyterian church, then flying home on the red-eye Sunday night/Monday morning.
