The little pond across the street from The Little House was the scene of a white convention this morning. A pod of pelicans were joined by a congregation of egrets. Joining them was a large flock of seagulls. All these birds were gleaming white in the early morning sun. See pictures below. Now, as I write this at 4pm, they're all gone.
Have you ever had friends really listen to you for an extended time? That's a very rare gift. ECV and MJV came from Iowa to visit. Visiting Joanne's grave was a high priority and we began there. Then, for the remainder of most of the day I showed them my life here. They were attentive, inquisitive, engaged and never shifted the focus to themselves. Showing others what's important in your life with their full attention means the world. Eight family members gathered for diner with them last night. Now they're gone leaving warm memories behind.
Cousin M came to stay a few days with me. M arrived Sunday. M fillled the house with laughter and good cheer as M does everyplace M goes. M is my cousin, we grew up together, and we are very near the same age. Now M is gone and M too leaves warm memories behind.
Oh, so much for which to be grateful!
Takk for alt.
