Life is good

Today was a mini marathon after a full marathon yesterday

Yesterday went from 6 am when I arose to 10 pm when I tried to sleep

One should know that if one runs full tilt for 14 hours

One is not going to be able to fall asleep in any short fashion

So at 1 am the cat and I had a stale Peanut Butter and cracker sandwich

Two Advil

By 2 am I was asleep

Tonight will not be as bad

I did the soccer carpool thing with Emily

John made the dinner I had planned out

I got home ate dinner and then just sat down and read the rest of my book

The Memory Keepers Daughter by Kim Edwards

When you only have 100 pages to read what else are you going to do

Reading was a hobby when it was summer and it was hot and I was a teenager at my

parents house

I could sit on the cold stone steps and read and it was cool there

I distinctly remember reading my first John Irving novel on the steps at home

Look Homeward Angel was another I remember reading there

Hawaii

There must have been more because in the summer I was a ravenous reader

To this day I always enjoy the summer and fall novels the best

I have soup cooking for my friend Jane, Wild rice, turkey vegetable soup. Smells really sagey

I hope it helps heal her shoulder - torn rotator cuff repaired

I will deliver it tomorrow after work

John and Felecia and Emily worked on the Hutzel couch today

They have become the three mudsketeers this summer

A very easy peace in their relationship

A very big blessing if you ask me

Grandchildren that love their Grandparents

Not a given or a universal

I am certainly glad they are in our lives

I enjoy the humming and tapping and life they bring to each day

I even enjoy driving to cancelled practices because the birds that sing there are different than the ones that sing here

OK Enough

More pictures next time

Progress in mud land and fiber land I hope

Peace and blessings to you this day and all days
