Teds Name Day

Today everyone in Greece named Theodore celebrates their Name Day. It is a bigger holiday than one's birthday. Tradition has it that the person with the celebrated name brings sweets to work. Coworkers drop by, take a treat, and wish Ted many more years of prosperity. We stopped by the sweet shop on our way to his work. Teddie, this is Theo's day too. Tomorrow we go to Napflio on a regional bus, after making a number of transfers. Hopefully we will have some trashless photos to post. Plastic bags filled with orange peels, stinky diapers, and who knows what are still piling up everywhere.

Bailey went to heaven today after a very sudden demise. It is the worst hurt I know to lose a pet that is so unconditional. Thank God for mulan who cannot stop licking my tears. Matt was able to hold him when the Dr. gave the injection and Darrell, katie and i all wrapped our love around him. He was 18 years old and a good dog. We will truly miss him. Jane
