Our son, Peter, has a girlfriend and it looks to be pretty serious. I am very excited about this. I've prayed for his future wife since he was a baby. I'm wondering - is she the one I've been praying for, off and on, all these years?
It's only 68 degrees in here. Not very warm - but not cold enough to complain about yet. However, I think I'll go put on an unbuttoned long-sleeved shirt over my short-sleeved blouse.
The penguins are back. A very large one just flew past the balcony.
What is that you say? Penguins don't fly? They swim?
Oh yes, these are not penguins, they are pigeons.
Sometime over the past 3 years these two words have become mixed up in my brain. Almost everytime I want to say something about a pigeon (outloud), the word penguin comes out instead. It did just a few minutes ago when I said to Mel, "Oh, a very large bird just flew past the balcony! It looked like a hawk, but it must have been a raven." (I'd only caught a glimpse of movement, you see - like feathers flying past.) I got up from the chair, went over and looked outside. "Oh, it was just a penguin."
We didn't used to have pigeons - or penguins, either, for that matter - here in our area of town. About 2 years ago they began appearing. Gobs of them.
Hmmmm - another bird to add to my list of "bird changes in the recent past".
Lest anyone thing I've changed, I still watch the earthquake page. Have the whole time we were in the States and since we got back. The earth, she is moving a lot.
Washed the inside of the kitchen window, then opened the inside one and washed the 'outside' of it and inside of the outside window. Will wait to wash the outside of the outside window until it's a bit warmer and the water is on (water went off while I was washing the inside of the inside window). Looks a whole lot better! I also washed all of the glassware I use for storing pasta, etc. there in the window. I love the way clean glass shines. Makes the whole room look cleaner and happier.
