Smile. Smile. Smile!

It's 10:30 p.m. on my coast. In my living room are four college girls, a kid sister and a wii. They are all in PJ's, I hear their laughter. I am whelmed over with joy, peace, happy.

The last time that they were all together was their high school graduation and "little krupa" was considered a nuisance. In just a matter of weeks, she's grown taller than two and has physically matured in a way that none of the others were prepared for (yet). Tonight she is invited to be part of their group. I am glad to have them home, even though the visits are brief these days.

THIS is the bucket list.

They Call it "Hump Day"?!

At 8:00 a.m. this morning I was quite thoroughly enjoying one poached egg with a toasted slice of fresh rye bread (seeded, of course) accompanied by Susan Boyle's beautiful voice (don't even ask, just go buy the CD).  The perfect way to start a day.
Except that my day had actually started at 5:00 a.m. when I threw on sweats and sneakers and walked 4 miles to the beach and back with Wally.  Life is good.  God is good!!!

P.S.  Michael G. from my hometown noted that at 6:00 a.m. this morning he was putting oil in the snowblower!  hehe

• Proud of my girls
• Procrastinating writing an updated version of my testimony
• Hoping that I don't have an accident today and have to go to the hospital (cause i really really really need to go underwear shopping)
• Waiting for myNel to get home and decorate the Christmas tree (she asked)
• God is good
