I have left many places with a different attitude than that with which I arrived. I wrote this piece a week before going up so packing was on my mind. When I write my memoirs the tone might be completely different. I really did enjoy the mushroom hunting. I lost weight quickly and had quite a few good bowls of soup out of it. I am rationing the mushrooms to last me to the summer. I probably have 20 pounds of dried or frozen mushrooms. I still have not opened the 20 kg of pasta... Perhaps when the flour runs out. I love pasta with a mushroomy sauce I make by boiling a few handfuls or dried veggies and mushrooms and adding catsup and spices. The vinegar is a bit strange, but one gets used to it. Have a good trip and a relaxing break from teaching. I am looking forward to retiring in June, if I survive that long. I want to plant a garden with a pond so my turtles and I can grow old a bit longer. My father retired and died promptly. I plan to keep busy but doing what I like doing which is a lot. B'ye.
