A Saturday morning

I find myself sitting in the big easy chair, sipping my coffee and killing time until Mary returns from her Saturday morning walk with her sister. We’ll be working on home projects together today, so this is my moment to stop and ponder.

(Ponder, ponder, ponder…)

Okay, enough of that.

With Two home and lots of good projects to finish, not to mention me bro and his wife coming to visit next month, this promises to be a great summer. There will be cookouts and day trips and projects and paddling and much, much chatting.

Odin the Large and Lazy is sprawled out less than six feet from my feet, intent on not having to be intent on anything. The ‘intent’ side of things is well in hand thanks to Zoey the Small and Annoying, at her watch station just outside the back door. The world is safe from pesky crows and marauding squirrels so long as Zoey is on the job. Which of course frees Odin to do what he does best, which is nothing at all.

Last evening, we had dinner with Two and one of her school / Theta friends. It was a great time and with Two going to college on the other side of the continent, we don’t pass up opportunities to meet her good friends. So this was a really special evening.

One continues to expand her opportunities. She’s living the dream even as she makes necessary adjustments. We’re so proud of her!

Life continues to be good.
