Observations

A few observations on this Sunday afternoon:

- Worship on Sunday morning just makes everything feel complete

- Worship with family is the best

- Participating in the Lord's Supper is humbling, spiritually moving, extraordinary

- Getting to sing "Jesus calls us, o'er the tumult..." takes me back to my childhood

- Grilled cheese sandwiches are classic, especially with a bowl of tomato soup

- There are no sweeter words, to my ears, than Mommy and Grandmommy ("E-mommy")

- Afternoon fog is kind of weird; it is expected in the morning, around the water

but is supposed to burn off as the day progresses.  Eerie!

- Sunday afternoon and naps are synonymous!

 - Meals and meal-planning are never-ending, in a good sort of way:

on the menu for tonight is Coke can Chicken on the grill - yum!

- It's hard to beat grilled asparagus and eggplant - unless it's

stir-fried veggies or roasted root veggies!

 - I am craving Chocolate Lava Cake; I NEED some soon!

- Barrett shows great intelligence while exploring:  he turns around backwards

while going through a thicket, to protect his face from scratches

- He has 20/20 vision for sure:  he can find a bobbypin or penny or button

when we think we've completely babyproofed a room

- You have to have quick reflexes when your little monkey is jumping on the bed: 

I caught him by one foot yesterday, as he nearly hit the floor.  "No more monkeys

jumping on the bed."

- There is nothing to compare with the sweet fragrance of Johnson's No More Tears

in the freshly washed curly blonde hair of our little guy.

- I am grateful for Cindy's recovery from her recent illness

 - I am grateful Dev is doing well in recovering from surgery

- I am proud of Johnny in his roles as husband, daddy, and author

- John and I are blessed beyond words with our family

- I think 63 is a pretty good age to be :)
