The Best Weekend

1. Last night, we got to visit with friends from our disbanded couples' group, including a couple that was back here visiting from Virginia where they moved two years ago. Good food, good friends, much love.

2. Today, Border Explorer came to town and stood with me and the rest of the Women in Black vigilers! Then she came over and hung out at my house for a couple of hours. That was SO wonderful! I really think that "in person" beats Bloggerland any old day. And I'm thinking that all of my blogging friends should move here and we could have a commune together.

Love ya, B.E.!


The vigil
(B.E. is 2nd from the right, I'm far right. Wait! No! I'm a leftie! But I am always right! Oh, never mind...)

3. Today I got cards and a gift in the mail, because

TOMORROW IS MY BIRTHDAY!

(She says as she dances around the room like a little kid, because, well, why not?)

4. Tomorrow we will bring lunch over to my parents' in celebration of Father's Day.

5. Tomorrow night, Mr. Carol For Peace, my son, and I will be going to the Eric Clapton/Steve Winwood concert!

6. I'm alive.
I love the summer and I thrive during the summer solstice.
I'm getting to share this with you.
I have tomato plants that survived the hail and maybe, some other vegetable plants will come around, too.
I have a wonderful family.
I have super friends.
I have wise teachers.
I love and am loved.
Life is amazing.

    Coincidentally, my mom's birthday is also 6/21. It also serves as the summer solstice and as the Litha Sabbat (in Wicca).

    Happy birthday!
