I've loved spend time with Mo and the girls. Thursday at the beach was amazing! I am thankful that I live in southern California and only 7 miles from that beach.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11765055414561998856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6085311167627297994.post-12635107354064056462016-07-15T22:32:06.120-06:002016-07-15T22:32:06.120-06:00Aw, baby rabbits.

What clean house?" The closet is still in good shape, and the house has less stuff in it, but I look around and see floors that need to be vacuumed, and places that need to be dusted. . . Perhaps I should have said, "I'm thankful for a house that seems to momentarily be fighting entropy." It's hard to fight physics 24/7! :-)<br /><br />Oh, good for your mom! What an adventurer! I see where you got your hit-the-road spirit. <br /><br />I wonder if I attend the "Physics is Fun!" class that I will get house-cleaning tips?

Don't think that's going to happen any time soon. ;)<br /><br />It is wonderful to see our parents doing things they've always wanted to do. The fact that they are healthy enough and well enough to enjoy some adventure makes me so happy. In just three years, my mom has gone on a cruise to Alaska, a cruise to the Bahamas, a tour back to her home area of Nova Scotia and the surrounding areas, and come January, she'll be headed to Africa! I am so happy for her, as I know you are thrilled for your parents.<br />Can't wait to see what you choose for Education week this year! It's hard to believe, but I've enjoyed hearing about your classes for many years now! :)<br />Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209807996463889703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6085311167627297994.post-39101203047598471382016-07-11T20:30:59.145-06:002016-07-11T20:30:59.145-06:00A cruise to Alaska!

I showed my kids photos of glaciers today before we went to the glacier exhibit at the National Building Museum (nice, but not great). One photo had "a big boat!" as Leo said, and I was reminded how cool it would be to cruise in that area. Yay for your parents!<br />And yay for John jumping in with the cleaning spree, and yay, as always, for a wonderful, supportive community such as your congregation.

John told the dog, "Go get it!" never imagining that she would actually succeed! John felt so bad, and never gave that encouragement again.

I love the way you said there is peace and love inside your house. I, too, have that maybe naive hope that there will be a better choice for President. Spring cleaning, no matter what season, cleaning out clutter feels freeing in some way. Because of your faith, your perspective on life is always hopeful and happy. Hope your parents enjoy the Alaska trip. I've never been but my friend is leaving this Friday for the cruise. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
