Enjoying the time change

I am loving the time change!  I know it won't last, but for today, even more than yesterday, it's absolutely wonderful!  It was so nice to be out waiting for Catherine's bus without it being pitch black, and now, 40 minutes later, it's almost light out.  And of course everyone enjoys that extra hour of sleep!

We had a very nice weekend.  Friday evening we drove back to our old town and picked up Thomas's best friend Joseph.  Having those two reunited is truly heartwarming!  There is never enough laughter in the world, but those two together certainly try their best!  Saturday we were up and at 'em early to take Joseph back and also to get Robert to scouts.  We know there were a couple of house showing this weekend so we raked and mowed while Robert was at scouts, then we headed north to my parents.  We were moving furniture back into place after they had their new carpeting put down.  My dad is failing and my mother is stressed and exhausted, but I think they would tell you we had a very nice visit.  There was lots of laughter, which is again good for the soul.  I'm also finding ways I can help even though I can't be there every day, and I'm grateful for that.  Yesterday we visited another church in town.  I won't go into details, but I will confirm that will NOT be our new church home...we both agreed.  Robert helped out with the town food drive, and we enjoyed a beautiful afternoon.

I am so grateful for the calm and serenity that I'm currently feeling.  I wish the same for all!
