When we pause to celebrate, we find the joy.
A week filled with moments to celebrate and remember!
1. Flowers on my walks!
5. Following Blake and Stefi's CA vacation via Instagram!
6. Some new favorite picture books!
those berries ripen and see them go to waste."
You can say that again. Not walking by there for now.
I consoled myself by snacking on these berries
on my way to the mailbox yesterday. Open access!
2. Daughter's housewarming and cooler weather
so we could try out their fire pit!

3. A visit with my friend, Sally!
Love it when friends let me know they're in town.
We were busy chatting and forgot to take a picture.

We met 29 years ago (yikes!), both of us pregnant with our 2nd children.
4. A morning with Sara!
A morning walk (saw "her" heron),
time in the back yard chatting and reading,

8. Squeezed in a stop by University Bookstore
while running Friday errands.
Bookstores - one of my favorite happy places!
9. Praying for family and friends:
painful anniversaries, upcoming surgeries,
beginning radiation, continuing radiation, ending radiation,
school beginnings, broken bones, a premature baby,
family challenges, walking the path of grief, sicknesses,
dreams deferred, chronic illnesses and death.
I celebrate my faith in the Savior and lift up our shared concerns to Him
who provides comfort and solace through all of life's challenges.
10. Update on last week's blackberry situation, received this email:
"...There is so much going on at the elementary site and
the liability for the contractor would be too great. The site belongs
to them at this point, they are responsible for the safety of everyone
who goes within the fence, and we can’t take the chance that someone
would wander past where they were allowed to be...
Again, I’m really sorry. I’m sure it is hard to watchthose berries ripen and see them go to waste."
