BUGS AND BEASTIES


I am so thankful for the morning coolness and the energy to tackle some cleaning up.
There is always a lot to do before people come and after they leave. The important thing is to enjoy having them visit and not worry about unimportant things while they are here.

I was ever so thankful to have someone to walk with me
We last heard from Ken and Hobey they were still at the airport at 4 o.clock.
They were still hopeful of getting a plane to L.A. to catch the Qantas plane home.
Their visit has gone so quickly but we are thankful for any time they take away from their busy lives to come and visit us and the rest of the family.

Dad was looking forward to sitting out in his new shady area under the evergreen tree but found that lots of little bugs and beasts were joining him. The aunts among under insects were soon crawling all around and over him. It is so often the little things in life that we find so annoying.

How do we keep life simple and appreciate our experiences but do not let them define you. I think sharing your path with some one you trust is so important. For me Jesus is a teacher that understood the naturalness of life and taught us to be thankful. That does not mean that we will not be frustrated and disappointed with life. Honest about our feelings is important but being aware of the feelings of others is even more important.

None of us are saints.

You are finally getting some hot weather there? The coolness of the morning is a nice time to get your watering done, after your walk of course. How are Carol and Pantelli doing with their move? Or are they just waiting for the last week to pack?
