Every day, this One offers gifts--life, light, and hours in which to work and eat and love and rest--and invites humankind to join in the ongoing work of caring for creation and all who dwell therein. The same One also continues, each day, the work of new creation: the work of forgiving and reconciling and restoring wholeness. This too we are invited to enter, both as ones who stand in need of this divine work and as partners in it.--Dorothy C. Bass, Receiving the Day

an acceptable picture of the family four-pack. (yes, dylan and james are essentially the same size.)
dandelion wishes
sharing meals with friends
grammy and poppy brought an old-school walkman for dylan, and she refers to the headphones as "muff ears." i can hardly stand it:)
