  2. School House Rock play was a fantastic field trip and got our toes tapping
  3. Laughter around the dinner table
  4. Fresh muffins from the oven
  5. Hug from my almost graduated son
  6. Release from cancer, rejoicing in the midst of grief
  7. Cool spring rain
  8. "Mommy can you rock with me? I don't feel so good."  The 12 yr. old body of Youngest, turns, and nestles, searches for that one comfy spot.  
  9. smell of bacon frying
  10. Friends surround grieving families
  11. Boy Scout Troop leaders
  12. Gathering of friends, laughter, good food, love

  15. "W" with his latest creation
  16. Listening to Miss Izzy reading Brown Bear before nap time.

I love your list . . . so real. Full of the highs and lows of life. Wow, W is leaving? I pray that transition goes well for all of you.

Fondly,
Glenda
