Surprise! Here I am. Finally got to see them again. It was surprising how easily we began to interact again. They are wonderful children. My heart lept up. I am so grateful. I do love them so.

We had dinner on the way up.
Still haven't seen Claire (and her sibs) but there is movement.
Thank God.

Well, it was really a long time this time. I still haven't seen Ted or anyone in the family. we've been through Columbia several times since then and no joy. Every now and then we see some pictures on the web here and there. It saddens me.
We have a new grandbaby, Zadie Belle, and she is perfect in every way. Sometimes when I'm with her I remember.

I got this image off Ted's blog. Photos are the only way I have of seeing their growth. I do love them and I do continue to miss each of them as well as their parents. I'll soon be on a road trip to Tallahassee with Rebecca (Daughter) and Nathan (her husband). We'll go right through Columbia again. I can dream.

You could say it's infrequent. Got a birthday card today from Ted. First contact in years. Good to see. Still miss them all, very much. Ted has a blog here as well. I won't link to it because I don't want to rock the boat. Maybe something good is coming. I hope so. I miss them.
Just because I don't post doesn't mean I haven't been thinking of them. I do so every day.

A Funny Site
Here is a site I found today. It engages in one of one of my favorite activities: the art of overhearing other's conversations. Some of them are pretty obscene but most are funny.

Micah 6:8
To do Justice
To love kindness
To walk humbly with God
I attended a seminar at our church (St. Michael's Episcopal) last fall and winter on a Marcus Borg book about Chritianity and the new paradigm and I was enlightened. One of the most important gifts of that seminar was the verse noted above and the paraphrase that follows. I have been discouraged by the resurgence of fundamentalism and this time was a drink of cool water for my soul. It has allowed me to see my faith and my Faith in a different light. Justice, as we understood it, was not vengeance but to act in a just manner, seeing that each received their due. Thus the selfish nature of our materialistic society can be viewed as unjust. Kindness and humility are certainly, for me, attitudes I wish to maintain.
