Odds and ends

by chuckofish

Yikes–we’ve been working remotely at home for 11 months now! I had four Zoom meetings yesterday. I can’t wait to walk away from my computer for the weekend.

But it will be a cold and frosty Valentine’s Day in flyover country.

C’est la vie. In other news, I finished my thistle needlepoint and have started back on my elephant.

Slowly, day by day, I am making progress. It is like that with all things, right?

Above all, trust in the slow work of God. We are quite naturally impatient in everything to reach the end without delay. We should like to skip the intermediate stages. We are impatient of being on the way to something unknown, something new. And yet it is the law of all progress that it is made by passing through
some stages of instability—and that it may take a very long time.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

The twins have had a fun week at school getting ready for Valentine’s Day. I was glad to hear that they still decorate shoe boxes to collect Valentines in.

Later today daughter #1 is driving home for a quick visit. We’ll have a little Valentine party with the wee babes and their parents. There will be party favors. And cake!

I kind of love The Simpsons updated take on the classic Cinema Paradiso (1989) Montage of Kisses, which I found when googling the original.

What haven’t The Simpsons referenced at some point in their 32 seasons?

Have a great weekend. Love the one you’re with. ❤️
