I should be sleeping right now. Tomorrow I need to get a lot done, and then I’m going to Dallas to pick up Grace at the airport. Yay!! I’m excited that she’ll be home for a month. The times when all five of us will be here are going to be fewer and farther between […]

♥ Ha ha! I just had to try that after seeing it in Ragamuffen’s journal and then reading her instructions. Fun! I don’t know how to make ANYTHING like that. Well, I guess now I know how to make ♥ . But nothing else. Where does one go to find the list of “super-cool symbols

I had somewhat of an out-of-body experience last night. I opened my e-mail for a last check before going to bed. The homepage said Inbox-1. I recognized the sender immediately.

This evening I had a fun assignment. I had to choreograph a bride-and-groom dance for a young couple whose wedding is in two weeks. I’ve known the bride since she was in sixth grade and the groom since they were in high school. They are coming over tomorrow for me to teach it to them,

Sometimes I’m convinced I must be the most thoughtless person around. I know that I’m selfish, but then occasionally something happens and I see that I’m even less tuned in to other people’s needs than I realized.

I have a photograph. We’re both sitting in an armchair made for one. I’m wearing denim overalls and a light blue t-shirt. My long hair is swept up loosely with a clip, and my head is thrown back in delighted laughter. He is looking at the camera. His hair is just long enough to be
