Purpose?

Now that things have calmed down a bit, I am happy that it is not as bad as it could have been.  

Granted, it was not as good as originally diagnosed, but the big ol' C does that when it invades your family.  It's not great that the experience happened but again, it could have been way worse.  

Thank you universe for that.

 
With all the extra time to think, I kept seeing the pattern more and more....

I run interference.  

I listen and understand why they feel that way - I can agree with both sides. 

(But I can also disagree with both sides.)


I get stuck in the middle.


So...is this my life's purpose?

Sunday Funday!

The lake club is back in full swing....chats til 5 am, marinated meats, swimming in the crisp mountain water and naps in the grass.... 

Life is good and as it should be!

Essence of a Moment....

A bunch of things that are right in the world....

From The Road...

Niagara...

Of course we had to stop at Niagara on the way home since we were so close!

Randoms...

I have way too many fun pictures from this trip.....

Shadow Dancers

Lonely Letters

Pavers

Sing, Dance and Repeat....

A fantastic trip to Ontario to be a spectator at the Song & Dance Festival....

The jingling boots, the twirling skirts, the power of the choir, the enthusiasm of the musicians and great company.....It was small compared to the one last year but it was still a fantastic time!  Plus the bonus of seeing our flag at random places throughout the city!! 

Glass Detour...

Little detour on our way up to the Song & Dance Festival in Canada at the beginning of this month - the Corning Museum of Glass.

It was a bit nerve wracking being around this much glass but luckily it is very well protected from clumsy people like me! I was originally reluctant to go but it ended up being an neat experience.
