From this week’s Joy List :
self-portraits with fuchsia scarf
hugs from friends named Kim
(and sleeping on a good friend’s couch ! thanks, Suzy !)
new momma smiles
first meetings
baby perfection
(smooches, Anderson, sweet baby boy !)
home, hospitality and cappuccino making skills that my sister Natalie shared
(and a great spaghetti dinner prepared by Dave, and shared with Nathan and Mommy)
breakfast out with a 21 year old niece Jessica that I love so much
(but who hates having her picture taken !)
and my own yellow house on Orange Street
where the seashell peonies bloom so beautifully,
and Love greets me at the door.
*******************
Phew !
A quick baby meeting trip up north and here we are Thursday already !
I had a really nice time though, and saw many loved ones in a short period of time.
Good for the heart !
The rest of this week and the beginning of next will be spent preparing for another up-coming art and soul adventure with my friend Colleen. Very excited !!!
More later.
Tease.
Happy Thursday, Beautiful Ones !

ReplyDeleteGlad you are back under your own sheets, that you didn't drown in our excessive downpour and that you, hopefully, felt some regeneration from all of us here who love you so much.
That was quite a joy-filled collection of images (although I did miss seeing your niece)!
