• Wheaton: “We can’t go to sleep tonight, okay?” Me: “Why’s that?” him: “I’ve lost my old-gah and don’t know where to find it”. Oh you poor little kitten….well if last night’s sleep tally isn’t to be repeated, we ARE going to find old-gah in record time! This momma’s gettin’ some sleep!
• Celia’s “book” she wrote: “Onze upon a tim there was a fery dry land. Thar was also a pand. The pand was wet but the land was dry. The end.”
• on pondering “baby steps” and how much effort goes into them. We use the term to describe breaking a process down into manageable pieces. But what are they really? Five months ago Rowan stood. Two months after that he started walking while holding onto things, cruising. Three weeks ago he finally let go and stood alone for a few seconds. Now, about every other day, we coax him into taking ONE step between us. It will probably be another two weeks or so before he takes off on his own. And then one day he’ll run. How often do we get discouraged when we have two whole months between the seemingly small progress of standing and crusing?
• David is in Dalton today, selling to customers who are completely new. He most likely has sold today more than he needs for him entire month of minimum sales numbers.
• my friend Sarah’s blog has excellent homeschooling encouragment on it this morning. Honey for my heart after Celia’s math lesson today….
• the porch now officially has only the rocker and the swing on it; all boxes have been found homes, or in some cases, simply different waiting places. Perhaps our neighbors will drive by and sigh with relief that no, we really weren’t going to leave that stuff out there permanently!
• today’s rolls were more wheat than half and half and are lower and more dense to show for it. better eat ‘em quick; they’ll be little hockey pucks within hours.

It’s good afternoon for some jazz. or blues. Definately a Nina day. “Birds flyin’ high, you know how I feel. Sun in the sky, you know how i feel. Breeze driftin’ on by, you know how I feel. It’s a new dawn, it’s a new day, it’s a new life for me yeah. It’s a new dawn, it’s a new day, and I”m feelin’ good.” Well, not really but Nina will no doubt get me there. Sometimes you just gotta ride the mood.
