It's been a roller coaster week. Monday I was busy all day with the children and shopping. Tuesday we did things around the house; Wednesday we took Dottie in because of her swollen face; Thursday we shopped for ceiling fans and bought a table. We brought Dottie home and Friday early morning she died. Friday remains a painful blur. Saturday we went to the cook-out at Phyllis and Jack's house and then home to play poker with the neighbors, Faye and Stan.
Aside from a few minor household projects, I think I might just slack off today. Friday the mail person delivered our accumulated mail which included my mother's day present from Jessica - a book, Women Who Changed The World. It looks like an exciting read. It's about 50 inspirational women and the things they did that shaped history. I think I'll start reading that.
It rained some during the night and from the looks of the sky, it's going to keep at it at least for today. Maybe those seeds I planted will sprout. Some have, and some have not - it looks like we'll have some zinnias and basil. The impatiens and cilantro haven't sprouted yet. Bev and Mike gave us an herb kit at Christmas, but I haven't set it up yet. I think I'll set it up today in the laundry room. The laundry room here has just the right amount of light, warmth, and moisture to be a perfect mini greenhouse and plant nursery. Plants that were staggering a little have come back to life here after a few days in there.
Jen accepted the position at Yoga Tree and begins there on June 6 (Jason's birthday). It's quite a life changing decision and she is elated, really jubilant. It makes me smile to hear that kind of excitement in her voice. Jason has gotten his studio up and running. We're anxious to see it and to see a display of his work. It's satisfying to me to see these kids wrap their arms around their life and do the things that they love.
Yesterday was Jessica's birthday. I called several times, but could not connect. We haven't talked to her since all the flooding started and I'm anxious to hear that they're ok. From the news, about 600 roads in New Hampsire were damaged or closed. It's a small state and that has to be most of the roads.
We're hoping that Kathy will come and stay with us a few days. It's been awhile since we've had a chance to just sit and talk to her and find out what's going on in her life, what she needs to do to make progress and what we can all do to support that.
It's time for more coffee - or maybe I'll just crawl back in bed beside Jim.
Love to all,
Corrie and Jim
