still water

12 days ago water was not my friend, but today it calmed my soul

upon completion of gutting the entire bottom floor of our home, we decided to take some time off and recharge our batteries. Last night was fun-filled with friends, food and fire as we gathered around a bonfire, sipped various spirited libations and avoided political and religious banter. The evening was topped off with candles atop a cheesecake, my favorite birthday cake. I am now exactly twice the age of my 26 year old son. Thank you a million times over and over for all your cards, gifts and various acts of kindness in this unusual time of "rebirth" for us here at Heritage Haus.
