9:32am- Riding the grassy waves on our blanket boat.  Armed only with a few books each, a National Geographic magazine and a kids paraphenelia catalog.  I had my coffee; they had their trusty truck water bottle.  It was positively delightful until we could no longer chase the shade.  We traded in our books for some PB&J's.  A bazillion "next times" promised.   

 

a simple verse

Strawberry Rhubarb Pie. 

When eaten... makes you sigh.

When consumed... makes you swoon.

Oh how I adore thee, strawberry rhubarb pie.

11:12am- Oh my fine princes, how sorely I have wronged you......*sniff, sob*   What is that?  Do my ears decieve me?

Ah, how blessed am I, you have granted me your pardon....

Dear Sister, I can't believe we are really this old.  (Or why it took your birthday to make me consider this fact.) When I see you next, "Let's pretend we are college roommates."  Happy Birthday, dearest.

spontaneous elation:
You are 20 months old, in your car seat and all the windows in the car are down.  Your Mom is driving about 25mph on a city street.  Your brother is chattering to her.  It is 75 degrees and around noon.  You lift your arms with pure joy- a whisper of a smile on your face- but don't say a word.
