Full of Grace

Some fun and amazing things from this week


Beaner’s boyfriend has asked for our blessing for him to ask her to marry him. He would not be my first choice for her but he loves her, that is obvious. So two weddings in one year. Oh boy.

Peachie and her fiance were home for the weekend and we all went out to dinner. Sitting there watching my two grown daughters, settled in their careers and now having found their life partners, all chatting and laughing together, left me with such a good feeling. The kids are definitely all right.

Sunday we all went hiking up north to see the fall foliage. Oh how I do love the changing of the seasons.

Unfortunately my knees told me not to attempt the summit. Instead I settled in quietly next to this little surprise spring and enjoyed the water music.

The mornings are now so dark that when I walk the dog, the stars are still shining.


Young love, the mountains*, the stars, the changing seasons. No matter what craziness is happening in the political world, these beautiful and perfectly magical things remain constant and I am grateful for that.


* Fortunately the Adirondacks are within a State owned park and Trump cannot sell them
