Just stuff

It is absolutely yummy outside today. If it wasn’t for all the squishy that remains I would be out there cleaning up the yard. In all fairness, I did have the boy run poop patrol. I think I’m on his poop list for the rest of the day. Hey, the rest of us have been thick in school. He was just playing PSP. Now can anyone fault me?

I have a friend coming over for the first time tomorrow from church to discuss church matters. My house is a mess. Now, typically I would be getting all stressed out and frantic and would be running around here to get it cleaned up and barking orders out to the kids to help. I don’t know what it is but that part of me isn’t as strong as it once was. I’m happy that we are within health code guidelines and call it good. I am juggling WAY too many things these days to put so much importance on the appearance of my house right now. And the other part I really like. Is that I realize that friends don’t notice the rough edges as much as I do. And if they do they don’t make a deal about it like I do. What a revelation and freedom. Oh, I still want my house in a certain order…. it just no longer consumes me.

Did anyone see the fog this morning? On top of the hill like we are makes for wonderful views. Looking down over the trees and barely seeing the town was awesome. There was such softness to it all. Kind of the same texture you see in an Ansel Adams picture. I just ate it up.
Tomorrow my daughter Erin and her husband Jerry start their cross-country trek to Colorado. Please keep them in prayer.
