Although I miss Jenny's regular presence, the family is doing a very good ojb in her absence. If you watch 'Tuesday Newsday', Jenny sometimes makes an appearance and its nice to see what she's up to. I think of it as a sabbitical or re-set and look forward to seeing how the experience has affected Jenny when she returns to Missouri. (Disclaimer: I was a Peace Corps volunteer in Africa many. many years ago so I personally find the Doan's experiences very interesting. I also sew on a treadle, so her introduction to treadles and hand cranks is amusing.)
