Well, Losar came and went and my dear Texas sister came and went, and I have not written in this blog for over a month!  My sister's visit was lots of fun, we ate khapsey and momo and sha palay.  We went to the Indianapolis Museum of Art and my Buddhist center, and she met many of my friends. You can see my khapsey in the photo of my Losar altar, I think they turned out very well for a first try.  I shared them with friends and family, and my sister took some back to Texas with her for her children to try.  Only one of four liked them!  I told you they only like American foods.  In which case, one of four is really good.

I have been doing a lot of study, Tibetan language and Buddhism, so I have not been wasting the time that I haven't been writing in this blog. Hopefully my studies will generate plenty to write about.  It's funny to me that I started writing this blog that is supposed to be partly about homekeeping just before homekeeping became really low on my list of priorities.  But perhaps it makes sense, and my subjects of Buddhist life and homekeeping will focus on how to get one's home to run as efficiently as possible, with as little effort as possible, leaving plenty of time for study and practice.
