from this vantage point in the rare quiet moment between I heard the low rumble of conversations from across the hall and down the stairs the words were not discernible but the goodness in what was said and what was being heard was music of the finest caliber actively waiting building friendships sharing stories tools… Continue reading tapestry

The Last Gift
Seven years ago. Just another of the lasts to remember that January and the beginning of February bring. Mama's birthday. The last one she was here with us for. Only, as life has a way of happening, we weren't able to celebrate together. One of the littles had gymnastics and the other one was under… Continue reading The Last Gift
The Most Precious Part of the Goodbyes
Tonight we said goodbye to a place that we hold dear, Bare Bulb Coffee. I wasn't sure if I could or would be able to be there as the lights were turned out for the last time, but as the time grew closer, I knew I couldn't be anywhere else. A few of us who… Continue reading The Most Precious Part of the Goodbyes

It would have been jarring in any circumstances, but with the background sounds of the… Continue reading Watching The Rock Die

Light and Warmth Everlasting
There is something sacred about sitting around a fire and listening to stories when the weather is cold and the season is dark. I think we tell ourselves we sit there for the warmth that the fire gives.

First Sign of Spring Tradition
This afternoon, a lovely warm "teasing us with the promise of spring" day, our Princess came bouncing in from the backyard, where she and Cooter had been playing with Miss Sophie. Bounced. Yes. She hardly goes anywhere that she doesn't bounce. Or skip. Or dance. I think walking might not be quite joy-filled enough for… Continue reading First Sign of Spring Tradition
