and the celebration continues...

with Saturday night sleepover... Pizza for dinner and a DQ ice cream cake for dessert... This morning they had blueberry muffins while I made them homemade waffles, pineapple on the side :) Better than a hotel, they didn't even have to move from sleeping bag and sofa :) Later, Elizabeth and I are going to a play... Really Rosie, at Raleigh Little Theater... yeah!

March 25th 2011

Spring willingly covers completely the blemishes and imperfections that had been so visible in winter... Wisteria is definitely the word and the flower of the day. We saw great expanses of it as we drove to and from horseback riding lesson, and we listened to an old audio cassette of the play Really Rosie, music by Carole King, illustrations by Maurice Sendak. Fun! I brought it with us on the drive to Erwin because I noticed the play is being performed at Raleigh Little Theater. When we got back, I reserved tickets for us for Sunday. yeah!

Different wells in your heart (Hafez)

There are different wells within your heart.

Some fill with each good rain,

Others are far too deep for that.

In one well

You have just a few precious cups of water,

That “love” is literally something of yourself,

It can grow as slow as a diamond

If it is lost.

Your love

Should never be offered to the mouth of a stranger,

Only to someone

Who has the valor and daring

To cut pieces of their soul off with a knife

Then weave them into a blanket to protect you.

by Paulo Coelho
