Hope on the Horizon

Just as we were about to despair, hitting "Send" on a desperate last attempt to convince a new host to take us (the same moment as our current host came into the bar to fetch us), The Rake sent a prayer out.  The phone rang as we approached the driveway and Elisabeth answered it. It was an invitation to come work in Umbria, from the 62-year-old dutch woman to whom we had just sent our last prayer/ email. She said "when you get the feeling that 'these people are alright,' i say you have to act! And i just had two people cancel on me this afternoon." She has a special project in mind for Elisabeth because she saw she was a carpenter. Yes she has all the tools needed for it because she used to be a carpenter! We'll be traveling there on tuesday.

Anyway our hopes and spirits are back up, and we thank you for your good wishes if you had any.
