the quiet hours

ahhhh morning... one of the wonderful things about morning is hot coffee....ahhhhhhhh

G has a friend here along with her little guy... he is cute, a bit younger than Grady...just 17 months - a very happy little dark haired, smiling, laughing tater tot....  Ash and Andrew are drywalling their basement this weekend and I cannot wait to see pictures! and, hear the latest... I will grocery shop for Michelle today... she is tired and now very pregnant...a new baby girl soon in our future....Grady will go to a new sitter tomorrow... she runs her day care like a school... it is very exciting, but also, a bit unnerving.... Grady is our most precious posession....

I have watched and listened as really, everyone has to the news streaming from Haiti.... I hope everyone will give whatever they can... and most importantly, pray for these families who have been enduring this horrible situation, and who have lost the ones they love the most... it does not matter where we lay our heads at the end of the day.... we are in this together...

looking forward~~

Rising tides lift most, if not all, ships~~

today is the first Sunday of a new decade...it is very cold outside, temps falling well below -0- last night.... the fire in the pellet stove burned through the night keeping our home nice a toasty.... this morning after walking the dogs, I put a lovely roast in the crock in preperaration for dinner which will also yield some beautiful soup tomorrow...

I created this blog early on, while at my sweet pea pods home for a much needed break... and then, realizing that the time was just not right for me to continue, it has just sat here.. patiently waiting for me to come back... well, here I am~~ I am not going to focus on things in life that have already past, however, may reference them as the impact on my life has not yet been fully measured.... but rather look toward where it is I am going from here.... if you are interested in seeing exerts of the past 5 years in particular, (a truly amazing journey) you are invited to visit us on the Bridge at http://www.caringbridge.org/ga/garysjourney05/index.htm - a visit to the bridge will hopefully leave you with hope, love and the power of knowing faith beyond the present moment....

for now.... I am off to clean the kitchen, and remove the hardware to allow the cabinet doors to be repainted... they need a bit of a fresh up before the house goes on the market in the next couple of weeks.... if you are interested in beautiful, well cared for home in the east end, quiet historical town of Mount Vernon, located in central Ohio.... this one just may be for you....once on the market, I will post a link....

for today, live life abundantly.... and hurry your self to the realization of slowing life down....you only go around once.....
