“Children growing up, old friends growing older…”
Tuesday - 10 August 2010
Today my niece, Sophia’s, first birthday.
Today is also the day that my friend, Joe, returned home - and to his family - after spending a little more than a year in a country with a four-letter name that begins with “I” and ends with “Q.”
Today also marks the first day of Ramadan and the Feast Day of Saint Stephen.
Last night, I hung out at Pin-up Girl Espresso for a bit after work. Jim, Pin-up’s owner, and I sat and chatted and watched the world go by. In a surprise move, SaraRules stopped by on her way from work to a Justice Junior League meeting. A little later in the evening, I headed up to the in-laws’ to see SaraRules’ grandparents, who were in town for the evening. It was nice to visit with them for a while. SaraRules and I wrapped up the night with last week’s episode of Burn Notice. All-in-all, it was a good day… even for a Monday.

Experience slips away
Experience slips away
The innocence slips away….
Namaste.
