Twenty-ninth Monday...

...which was yesterday, of course, was a day for basking in the glow of a lovely, full wedding weekend.  (No, not one of mine this time, but dear friends in our church).

It was also a day for reading, thinking, and mulling over ideas that have been percolating about next year's biology class.

Why I didn't sit down and write my usual Monday post, I don't know, except that I think my body was tired and my brain was full.   It didn't really occur to me til I was about to go to bed that I hadn't posted.

So, here I am on Tuesday afternoon...giving thanks for....


Josh and Shelley and their sweet families
A God-honoring wedding service
Beautiful music - cello and guitars
Our church family who gathered round to help and celebrate
Lots of laughter, lots of good food, lots of dancing (even the oldest among us, Catherine and Earl!)
Fun, even with the clean-up


Reminders on Sunday morning of God's work in far away places
Fellowship time made even sweeter with leftover wedding cake!
Lazy afternoon with a nap on the porch
Quiet evening with Coty

The way that ideas percolate and gel
Helpful conversations
The library!
Book ordering and the anticipation of helpful resources
Co-op
Long morning without interruption to get thoughts on paper

And this morning....

A long walk followed by
Fresh peaches!

Just found the Gratitude community site and have been enjoying catching up on everyone's 1000 gifts. Talk about being blessed by a group of total strangers. Thanks!
