A fun trip to spend the afternoon with Kelly, who was visiting Columbus on business! So interesting to hear about her job, so proud of all of her accomplishments!
Getting excited with Kelly for her hometown Chicago Bulls upcoming season!! I don’t even like professional basketball very much, but I love her contagious enthusiasm for those Bulls!
Seeing Kari working quickly and confidently, with a big smile on her face, at Tulipan. She was so excited for the downtown Wooster festival, “Woosterfest!”
Seeing Kylia handle a difficult situation with wisdom and strength. She is far more courageous than I am.
An evening with dear friends. So much talking and laughter and love.
Getting two jugs of sparkling, clear water from the artesian well near our house, and giggling when my dear friend, Katie, asked if we might be attacked by coyotes, as we waited for the water jugs to fill. If you didn’t grow up in the country, the rural darkness can be very intimidating.
The green bushes by our deck that are slowly turning their autumn shade of dark red. So beautiful!
The steady humming of our dishwasher.
Pain-free sleep. A true gift.
Looking forward to a weekend with my wonderful family!
Pain-free sleep! YES! Hilarious about the coyotes :)
I love your posts so much — your loving, intelligent, and compassionate self just shines right through. And I love the hum of the dishwasher too.
Every time I think about you, dear Ruth, or see something you’ve written; it makes me smile and remember the blessings of true friendships, those who have been in our lives since childhood and those we’ve only known a short time.
