thankful and happy.

Today, several of my best pals and I hosted a baby shower for E's mom. Everything and everybody came together to make it play out  perfectly. . . I can't stop grinning, the memories are so nice! It was a wonderful time to simply celebrate something truly exciting. Sending a million thanks to all who participated!

Adventures at a Lakeshore

These are old-ish photos, but I thought you might enjoy some wind and water on this {mild} February evening. I sure do. I the thought of summer makes me happy!

But for now, math homework. It'll be great. No sarcasm here.

PS - Happy Valentine's Day, friends!

Monday morning.

This tidbit is from the aftermath of brunch at Grandma's house, back on the tail end of a January weekend. Hannah made one more pot of Swedish coffee before it was time to go home.

Have a happy Monday, everyone! Thanks for all of the sweet comments you've given me lately . . . I appreciate your kind words!

warm winter light

Almost a month ago now, if you had traipsed out to a certain field, you would've found three girls; two making straw dolls, one snapping photos. To me, the last word in good times is to be at a favorite place with good friends, and this fit the bill perfectly. Ellyn and I were going to embark on another semester of the school the next day, and this afternoon outdoors was a perfect close to winter break. I miss those carefree days, but thankfully, friendship and familyhood doesn't come and go with days off academic obligation.
Love,
M
