Wishing for you a weekend of warmth. ♥
Posted in Friday 5, Photography, seasons, spring
We shared a meal, scrapbooked our trip to NYC, had an old-fashioned pajama party… and tried to not think about the fact that 2 of us are moving away this summer.
It had been freezing cold in New York City but our toes were as warm as our memories.

Back to school after Spring Break and sleeping in for a week (well, some of us slept in) — I think this song might be needed to get boys moving this morning!
The Breakfast Song (by The Newsboys)
[lyrics by Steve Taylor, music by Peter Furler]
Hold the milk, put back the sugar
They are powerless to console
We’ve gathered here to sprinkle ashes
From our late friend’s cereal bowl.
Breakfast Clubbers, say the motto
That he taught us to repeat:
“You will lose it in your gym class
If you wait ’til noon to eat.”
Back when the Chess Club said our eggs were soft
Every Monday he’d say grace and hold our juice aloft
Oh, none of us knew his checkout time would come so soon
But before his brain stopped waving, he composed this tune:
[Chorus]
WHEN THE TOAST IS BURNED
AND ALL THE MILK HAS TURNED
AND CAPTAIN CRUNCH IS WAVING FAREWELL
WHEN THE BIG ONE FINDS YOU
MAY THIS SONG REMIND YOU
THAT THEY DON’T SERVE BREAKFAST IN HELL
Breakfast clubbers, drop the hankies.
Though to some our friend was odd,
That day he bought those pine pajamas
His check was good with God.
Those here without the Lord,
How do you cope?
For this morning we don’t mourn
Like those who have no hope
Oh, rise up, Fruit Loop lovers –
Sing out sweet & low
With spoons held high
We bid our brother, “Cheerio!”
[Chorus]

After a week of ups and downs, where joyous shouts are followed by thoughtful ceremony, where meaning is found in simple, everyday items — parsley, salt water, wine, and egg…
A week that takes us through our own understanding of things like freedom and faith and sacrifice…
A week that culminates (for me) in a glorious morning that cannot be hidden by rain and clouds, as sadness and darkness turns to joy and light:
A morning like any other and yet like no other morning before or since…

It wasn’t that long ago that we were watching this together:
I’m proud of you, and I’m glad you are bringing The Girl with the Magic Hair to spend the summer with us.
love,
Mom

I’m slowly catching up with life and trying to stop in to visit each of you. I’ll be around as I can make the time.
___________________________________
Ten on Tuesday was lifted from Jen’s World. This is last week’s edition:
1. If you work, do you drive to work or take public transportation? When I worked in downtown Seattle, I took the bus (I didn’t own a car, but if I did, the parking costs would have been prohibitive). When I’ve lived and worked other places, it depended how far away the job was… if it was close enough, I walked or rode my bike in good weather.
2. How often do you get your haircut? Do you go to the same person every time? Hahahahahaha…. um, no. I get it cut maybe once year or so. I posted about the last time I had it cut here.
3. Do you read the newspaper? If so, a hardcopy or the online version? I read the paper if I am visiting my inlaws and it is laying on the breakfast table. At home, I catch the 6:00 AM news on TV a few days a week or else I check the headlines on my computer. However, I do read our free local paper from cover to cover.
4. What is the best book you have read this year? I just finished reading The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot. I highly recommend it.
5. What is the best movie you have seen this year? No contest for this category, the best movie I’ve seen this year is The King’s Speech.
6. Do you tend to crave sweet or salty foods? Sweet and rich
7. Do you eat breakfast every day? If so, what do you have? I’m trying to remember to eat breakfast, and I try to have something healthy such as old-fashioned oatmeal with fruit.
8. If you celebrate Easter, what Easter treat/candy are you most looking forward to? If anyone wishes to share a Lindt or Dove chocolate bunny with me, I will be very happy.
9. How late is “sleeping in” to you? This is my Olympic sport! When I get a chance to sleep in, I don’t want to be up before 9AM. I am fully capable of sleeping past noon. Decadent, I know. Before you throw stones, please know that I get up every work day with my husband (usually at 5:45am, but it’s sometimes been 4:45am) to prepare his coffee, protein shake, and vitamins. I pack his breakfast and lunch the night before, since he eats breakfast at work.
10. Where are you going on your next vacation? It is currently Spring Break and we are spending it at home, cleaning the house between showings. We aren’t taking a family vacation this year. But don’t cry for me — we are moving across the country at the end of July, and I did go to NYC with 3 girlfriends back in February.

I should probably let you know what’s going on in my world, especially since certain events have taken priority over blogging.
1. I recently spent 9 days in the Seattle area, being a caregiver for my mother while she recovered from surgery.
2. Cancer really ought to be spelled with 4 letters. Thin, sick, weak… it does that to people. In this case, “cure” is not part of the vocabulary and time is limited.
3. Prior to flying to Seattle — and ever since I returned home again — I’ve been dedicating most of my time to decluttering and cleaning my house. My husband has been packing boxes, painting blue walls beige (“beach sand” is what we told the 11yo boy) and generally being understanding of my stress level (code orange).
4. The house goes “on the market” today (with much prayer).
5. I hope to get back to blogging near the end of the month, after I take care of a few more responsibilities and get into the groove of keeping the house “show-ready” at all times.
I miss my faithful blogging friends!
