"Cheese"

Sad moment.

Friend emailed.  I haven't emailed back.  I miss her.  It is part of parting, of living parted, of not being there but being here.

She included photos.   One of her sons has grown a foot.  He still looks like a terror on wheels with the eye sparkle that destines him for some greatness or folly.   The extra foot heightened my sadness that I'm not there to see the adventure of his growth.

We bemoan "where does time go" but sometimes I think "where did we go??"  It is good to be here but hard to miss the lives that keep going an ocean away.

On a side note that has to do with cheese.  We had cheesy potatoes for dinner tonight.  There was meat in them too (do you hear the plaintive excuse here) and I made a salad (that I mainly ate).  Anyone else struggle with the monochrome eating habits of toddlers?

Also today is Saturday and supposedly our day of rest.  I, ungraciously, told my husband that there was to be no rest for this family till we got a major job pounded out.  Literally, knocking on doors asking for housing.  Miracle of all miracle the third house that Hubster blasted himself into is golden.  Job done in three hours! (well that doesn't count countless other hours on other days but job done!)

So we went and played on grass (not ours) and said "Cheese" and took photos.
So......... stay posted for Zana gorgeousness to come!
