"Bitter are the tears of a child: Sweeten them.
Deep are the thoughts of a child: Quiet them.
Sharp is the grief of a child: Take it from him.
Soft is the heart of a child: Do not harden it."
~ Pamela Glenconner ~
"How far you go in life depends
on your being tender with the young,
compassionate with the aged,
sympathetic with the striving and
tolerant of the weak and strong.
Because someday in life you will have been all of these."
~ George Washington Carver ~

Bleed! Bleed! Bleed!
Today was THE day for the bloodwork that the good ol' rheumatologist requires every 8 weeks. Painless (pretty much) as usual. (Thank you, Quentin!)
That's it. Just bloodwork.
The end.
That's it. Just bloodwork.

We should all have one person who knows how to bless us despite the evidence. Grandmother was that person to me."

Captain Greg!
My morning started with a picture from Greg of Gregory driving their boat on the Delaware River yesterday! HOW could Gregory be old enough to drive a boat!?! And in the picture, he looked SO serious! (Serious is a "good thing" when you're driving a boat, I'd say!)
They got back just in time to miss the rain. Greg took a picture from the boat and it looked like a funnel cloud not too far from them. If I can get the picture downloaded from my phone to my computer, I'll add it here soon.
I'm delighted they have a boat, but I'm a mother/grandmother and I worry!
I remember when my father used to take us for rides in his boat and I loved it! I loved the feel of the wind and the spray of the water. It felt like freedom.
Sometimes, my mother would pack up food to cook at the yacht club and while we rode, she'd cook burgers and potatoes on the grill.
We didn't have a lot of "family time" but the picnics at the yacht club were among the best!

Party on the porch...
... at Lone Star for lunch.
Last minute things are often the most fun. Richard called and asked if I wanted to go to lunch.
"When?" I asked.
"Now?" Richard answered.
"Hmmmm. Let me IM Michael. He's off today."
S0, I IM'd Michael.
"Wanna go to lunch with Richard at Lone Star?"
"Sure!" (Michael is agreeable about 98% of the time) "When?"
"Like.... now?" I typed back?
"On my way" he replied.
A phone call - a visitor in my office - then... a text message to Richard.
"We're on our way."
I love it when a plan comes together! We sat for about an hour or so, talking, until Richard had to leave for a conference call.
And I went back to work, smiling.
And Michael went home to crash on the couch.
A good time was had by all! :)

Toggles and earwires and crimps! Oh my!
Yesterday I went to Bear to teach my first jewelry "class" to a woman from work and her 10-year-old daughter. I think it went well. The daughter was SO excited to learn and when I saw her mother this morning in the hall at work, she told me that they had to pry the little girl away from the table to go to bed. She made jewelry all evening.
It was fun! Something to remember for the future!
