Sounds like you have a lot going on as well as being a kindred spirit with your thoughts on your friend. I hope the sun shines for you the whole week and climb that hill with your kiddos!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like good things! I will keep your friend in my thoughts. Have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteI am very exited about the solar eclypse this coming Friday, hope it is clear. The last time I witnessed one it was very eery. Your life sounds very exiting, orchestra and all! Enjoy. x
ReplyDeleteIt all sounds like a very good kind of busy-ness. Enjoy this week!
ReplyDeleteI love reading about the things your family is doing. We're always keeping our eye on the moon over here.
ReplyDeleteIt is tough to stay "unbusy", isn't it? So much goodness out there to do. We fell into a busy trap a few years ago, it was tough, but didn't last long, I realized pretty quickly it was too much for my little man, and too much for me.
ReplyDeleteHope the sun shines on your this week.
When I was homeschooling I used to find that the too busy generally resolved itself and before I knew where I was we were unbusy for a while again.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly sounds like your days are full, but in the richest way.
That " just right" rhythm thing can be an elusive quality to pin down, can't it? Hope you have fun on your play day - several orchestras - wow. XO
