| I miss these days... |
On my mind
strange cool weather...didn't summer just begin?
Celebrate
video shoots going remarkably well...this is going to be wonderful...really wonderful...just call me Martha Stewart...one interview to go...amazingly the passport came in 10 days without expediting...my eyes are getting stronger. I thought they were getting worse until I opened Herbal Home Health Care again yesterday. When I got it in January, I could not read the reflexology chart in the back--now I CAN!

Toward Real Education
I loved listening to 8 hours of lecture from dear departed Dr. Christopher this week.
Toward Rhythm and Beauty
enjoying the freedom and order created by my playbook...
Bee News

Garden Gate
lots of zucchini and yellow squash, eggplant slowing down, tomatoes may not ripen with the cool weather, lots of hot peppers for cayenne tincture and salsa..

Reading Huckleberry Finn with my scholars...Landmark Herodotus is indeed much more readable.

Praying For
This week our grandone of the week is Princess Gayle, our oldest granddaughter. Look at that face! She's a sweet heart, a happy girl, and loves princesses. Since she'll be going off to kindergarten this year, I pray that she will be safe, happy, healthy, and be blessed with a loving, competent teacher. I pray that her parents can help her through this transition. I pray that the world will be a safe place for her and the people she meets, as she goes out into a bigger world, will be good and kind. I pray that children all over the world will be as loved and blessed as she is.
What's Coming
...the last of the summer adventures...
Simple Pleasure

Images From My Life
It's been a love/hate relationship with old Gertrude, my 300 year old French violin. I love the way she sings. I hate the way I can't help her do this anymore. I love the spiritual quality of music. I hate the way my neck hurts after a practice session. I'm so sad that playing the violin is in my past. I tried and tried over the last 5 or 6 years to get it back, but it's not going to happen. So Gertrude will become a beloved memory, as she waits to bless the life of one of our granddaughters or great granddaughters. I'm still not giving up on the piano but that may soon follow.Moral-nag all young adults to continue their instruments or they will loose every thing they worked to achieve.
Commitment to Loveliness
in a mid-calf length and some of its variations in denim and light weight wool for winter. I have no clothes that fit--one of the benefits of weight loss.

Reading the scriptures and keeping this journal are my delight. I do not keep an online journal to preach to anyone but myself. I like this format, because I can add pictures and correct my writing easier. If you enjoy reading it, I am happy. If you feel offended, please, realize it is not my intention to offend but to teach myself. No negative comments will not be published.
