The Joys of Spring

Today is Mother's Day.  Mother's all over will be treated to breakfast in bed by little hands and hearts.  Maybe not the best breakfast they ever had, but surely the kind of breakfast which will remain in their memories and bring a smile.  Handmade cards will be left nearby to surprise them, again bringing smiles and warm memories.  Some of those cards will be placed on a refrigerator, in a drawer, or a box for safekeeping.  They will be brought out years later and pondered upon, bringing back those fond memories and wondering thoughts of just where all those years went.

If you are a mother- Happy Mother's Day.

I've been on vacation this week.  Not extremely eventful, but enjoyable.  I fished with Josh and Logan; fished with Meg; worked calves with some good friends, and watched my kids work hard.  I'm not sure what all the rest of the week will bring, but it's nice to just not have a daily agenda.  Of course, that spoils me, and makes me want to keep it that way.  It makes returning to work and the constant push all that much harder.

Amazingly, I haven't watched that much baseball this week.  Although, I still have some time to catch a few games.

Writing has been part of the week.  I worked on For Love and Honor a little in the beginning of the week.  I have to finish reviewing Loving Deacon some time this week so we can get a final proof.  I guess I still have some kind of agenda, even when I'm trying to avoid one.

It is pretty quiet this morning with everyone still in bed, so I've just enjoyed a cup of coffee while putting down these thoughts.  A pleasant spring morning.  Things will start rolling soon enough.  Have a simple Sunday.
