Independence....

Today's gospel
one that long ago began to change my life...

reach your finger here
and look
reach your hand here...

be not unbelieving
but believing....

Thomas, because you have seen Me
     you have believed.
     Blessed are those who have not seen
     and yet have believed."
                  John 20:29

I believe...am I blessed?
I am believing...I am blessed...
my summer blues
a dove crying outside the window woke me this morning
with the sun
in our tree house bed

fourth of July weekend
and a 8th anniversary celebration
and a 7th birthday...
at gramps' today...
the michigan and indiana contingencies
plus the usual cast of thousands
and fireworks at the point

tomorrow here
with my side of the family
and fireworks from the front porch!

and bernie is in "Heidelberg" today with the 'far aways'
watching quarterfinals!!
enjoying all 93 degrees... I'm sure?!?!?

and I sit on the swing
55 morning degrees
with my cappuchino

the washer is working again
thanks to the brother and the youngest son
and a new pump delivered to our door
and installed in moments!!
I put a load of vinnie's stuff in already
     he's home for the holiday!

the red layer of the pretzel salad is congealing nicely
on top of the blue layer in the fridge
after yesterdays fiasco!?!?

the chicken marinates
I still need to make the penne casserole and chocolate mousse for tomorrow....
but will have all morning for that

the end of the week draws near
lots of good days
and...the 'list' for the hubby and brother is accomplished!

new pump on the washer
new water filter on the kitchen sink
new toilet seat in the powder room

hubby's talk is written....
and the young protege has helped him with the music
for his coming weekend

the guys got a little golf in yesterday

spent a day at the falls with the nephew and his family

had lunch with the mom and coco
and shopped....

had a date with my hon at the new Krogers....
and dinner...and ice cream with darla and trev

looked for properties and jobs on line
maybe
someday
he will truly move north?!?!
