It’s not raining. It’s not sunny, but neither is it raining, so I’m thankful. Maybe I can take a walk today and remind myself of how wonderful fresh air is on a fall day!

My little sister popped over yesterday to use our copier. I hope they start using it all the time; I love when they’re here visiting me!

I saw a fresh new baby yesterday. He was serious, so very serious, with his eyes so OPEN! I held him and just looked and looked, letting the joy of such a moment seep down into places that have yet to be fully refreshed. I’ve always been amazed by how much a new baby can minister to me. Thanks, Aiden.

I listened to country music while I drove. Actually, the same CD has been in for days and days while I soak up every clear and perfect nuance. As I listened to the banjo and twangy voices yesterday, I had to laugh at myself. Country music? Granted, I don’t listen to all country music, but… Come On Over and Fly–my introductory country music experiences. And I’ve never gone back.

Our little aparment is never quieter or more fun than when we’re both totally absorbed in artistic projects. He, with his letters and numbers and funny symbols–and the occasional call for help with a color opinion–and me with glue and paper, needle and thread. Music blares and we barely notice. And of course, time flies while we barely notice, too. Needless to say, we had a late night!

Another trip this weekend. I’m looking forward to seeing my “in” family. It’s amazing how quickly they’ve found a place in my heart, and how eager I am to learn everything I can so I can love them well. They’re wonderful people.
That’s all. Back to my morning!
