We just returned from a short trip to visit family 500 miles away. What a delight it was to see all again! The cousins had a blast and kept Dad/Uncle, Mom/Aunt and Aunt/Mom laughing and in need of some extra sleep.
Thank you Builder for the gift of this time to visit my Dad, my Mom, my Sister and her wonderful family. I am a very blessed woman.
We can’t wait till you are here too!
It’s all quiet here…

The ladies and I are HOME, and Builder is on his way, and a lot of catching up with family and old friends is happening.
Skype, and email, and cell phones and texting are wonderful ways to stay in touch. But, Oh, the beauty of the face of a loved one, seeing the light in their eyes, of holding a hand or hugging tight!
While all this is going on, Builder and I do have to sort through some details of life, and this post of Leanne’s made me smile. She is beautiful!

It was a long drive and short flight journey, but 4 of the 5 of us has made it “home for the holidays.” And soon Builder, Daddy, Husband will follow. My gratitude this week is mingled with the need for grace, and prayers.
But in it all is hopeful gratitude. Gratitude that HE who holds all, He who has done so much, will finish what he has begun.

{this moment} – A Friday ritual. A single photo – no words – capturing a moment from the last month. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.

Dear Dad,
I want to tell you thank you.
All those years you served your country,
I now understand
That you also served your family, past, present and future,
Hoping to preserve the freedom to live…
To live a life free
To pursue life to the fullest.
It cost you greatly,
And us too,
But Dad, today
I simply want to thank you.
Thank you to my Dad
