Hey everybody!! It's been a while, I know. :/ Sorry 'bout that. But I guess now is as good a time as any to get back into this blogging thing. :)
Hannah-banana just came and spent the night with us!! The weekend included yummy food, exploratory walks, picture sharing, and lots of laughs!! Thank-you Hannah, for a wonderful time!!!
She left for Haiti this morning. :( Anyone who knows her can imagine how difficult it was to find a picture. :) I'm gonna miss her. At least she won't be gone for too long...she comes back on Tuesday.
Sarah got back yesterday! I'm glad they weren't gone at the same time. I need at least one of them!
"The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say."
- Bilbo Baggins
"Make me to know your ways, O LORD;
teach me your paths.
Lead me in your truth and teach me,
for you are the God of my salvation;
for you I wait all the day long."
- David (Psalm 25:4-5)
This is about what the sky looks like right now. After getting her license on Wednesday, this is the first time Mary has driven just one person (me, this time) by herself. And it started raining shortly after we left the house. By the time we left to come back home, there was thunder and lighting and power "hiccups" (that's my own word...don't know what else to call it) and puddles and wind and all kinds of craziness. Plus, we were downtown and the severe weather/thunderstorm alert/siren thingy was going off.
Mary's driving was quite wonderful, and overall everyone else was going cautiously as well, but the lightning and rain made for a very high adrenaline ride. :) Now we're safe at home enjoying the storm...from inside our cozy house. :)

Actually, this is my 101st post, because I posted a happy birthday salutation for Peter. I was going to post yesterday about Sarah leaving and have my 100th post moment then, but the power went out. :(
Won't see her again for two weeks. I'm required to be sad about it. *sob*.
My new favorite quote :)
"Most people, if they have really learned to look into their own hearts, would know that they do want, and want acutely, something that cannot be had in this world. There are all sorts of things in this world that offer to give it to you, but they never quite keep their promise."
