Giving thanks…

Great Blue heron at the C&O CanalFor the memory of a Great Blue Heron lifting majestically into the air in slow motion, right in front of a friend of mine and I as we got out of the car at the C&O Canal; for parents who taught us a reverence for the natural world.

Bryan’s guitarbuildingFor the gift of having had parents who raised their children with a love of music, and the piano, flute, violin and guitar lessons by which we learned both how to produce our own music and the discipline from living through that long process.

For the light of the Love in the world.that all may see in their dark times

For the wonder that arrives with each new baby, God’s reminder to love wholeheartedly.Miriam D’s gift from her Israel trip


For family gathered around in celebration of what our own babies have grown into. (Awright you guys, who cut into the next row instead of taking the one on the end?)Michelle’s cinnamon rolls

That would’ve been me. I like the middle gooey ones better. *slurp*

It works out great, as Oscar husband loves the corner bits.
Yum, cinnamon rolls.
I haven’t made them for too long.
