Blessings Winter, here on Agate Flat, is a magical time. Still white mornings that make you glad to be alive Ä a time to count blessings. Two more blessings came our way a few months ago. Add two to the crew Two of Richard's recent STI students have joined the crew. I admit, I was skeptical at first. You have to be hardy and committed to work in such an isolated place, not to mention such close quarters. We were blessed, they have turned out be as demented as the rest of us. So welcome and thanks Mark and Amanda. Counting blessings We have a lot of blessings to count. We can live and work in a place with wonderful views and music supplied by birds Home Power is doing well. We got a water well. We got a real winter, with lots of snow. We got more help! Richard and I got to spend three whole weeks away from the office, without worrying! Blessings to the over worked and under payed "crew" who stayed behind to take care of business. You are all greatly appreciated. I'm starting out 1993 happy... Karen
