Today is a hum haw day, I think. It still feels like summer, but with the autumn flavor. As I watched several kids walking home from school, I was reminded of my childhood days many years ago as I myself walked home on warm, breezy fall afternoons. Funny how in such a brief moment, I can experience a whirlwind of thoughts, emotions, and feelings. In some ways, I miss being a kid.
I'm not feeling very adventuresome today either. Mostly because both the Sweetpea and I are feeling a little buggy. I actually don't feel too bad, but I can tell I'm fighting something. And she sounds and looks like it--a bit of a runny nose, taking frequent naps, and worst of all--she isn't quite her happy, perky self. We are so fortunate to have such a happy baby girl...so I really notice when she's not feeling on top of her game. So, needless to say, we didn't go on a walk yet today. And that meant Lucy didn't get to walk either. Poor dog. This is when I really wish we had a big piece of property where she could roam free without worrying about cars racing by or her feeling cooped up and rebelling by pulling apart the fence. Instead, her exercise consists of following me around the house or walking us out to the mailbox...grrrrr! Such a ferocious guard dog is she.
Last night was a good evening. Although it ended late (almost 11:00!), it was worth it. We went to our weekly small group (originally called "the young marrieds" but now we're trying to find a different name better descriptive of who we are currently. We're not quite as young-married anymore.) Good things were shared. God is active and real in people's lives, and that is exciting. Several of the guys shared about their experiences at the men's retreat. And then we stayed up late talking with Bob and Polly. Somehow, the deepest and most meaningful conversations often don't seem to begin until after 10:00. I'm not sure why that is...
Off I go to get work done while my princess is asleep!
