A smattering of thoughts


Weddings need neither size nor pomp to be absolutely Perfect! Small, intimate and fun suffice to make the weekend delightful.

Twelve hours driving in the driving rain makes you edgy and tired - even sitting in the passenger seat. The driver just plugs ahead staying totally at attention. 

There is no such gratitude as that for the young highway patrol man who says, "Just go a little slower the rest of the way home, ok?" And waves you on your way. Phew. 

Bright sunshine the days before and after your 12 hours of rain makes you wonder if you might have checked acuweather just a little more closely.

No matter how nice the hotel bed, there is no place quite like your own bed. 

Family extends beyond blood kin over and over. And so we wrap up a young woman with hugs and welcome only to discover later that we made her day ~ maybe her life.

Better to have preferences over expectations ~ oops ~ fell into that trap again. And the reality was perfection just not exactly what we "expected". 

Home to find a groomed Tessie. Her sitter treated her to a doggie spa treatment and she looks Lovely, smells Wonderful, and is posing just a bit. She knows. :)

Those are Monday morning thoughts on a Tuesday ~ with blessings
