Full Moon over West Acton

Beautiful clear night with a mystical looking full moon.

Across the miles

It's so rare I open my mailbox to good mail..receiving a card or note out if the blue from a dear friend that says they miss you. (Picture) I love days like that. Times like this let me think the world is not all bad.

I had two friends leave encouraging words today. The other left a voice mail about my magazine article. Thank you Betty for the card and Denny the compassionate voicemail.

I left work today wondering why my family does not hold me in the same regard? I can count on one hand the encouraging, loving, supportive comments they've shared with me.

So it makes me ponder why my family cannot accept me the way my friends do?

On contemplating the life of ice ...

It's frigid outside negative numbers with the windchill, yet I ordered an ice cold beer. The glasses are so cold the beer foams and ice floes form. Looking somewhat like an iceberg. At moments the ice twists and turns and mini explosions occur in the fluid sending bits of ice twirling. It's rather interesting to watch. Makes me wish I knew more, or remembered more about science and natural phenomenon.

Life in a nutshell!

Jesse, Bean, Sebastian, Willow and Jamie.

The kiddos

Jesse busying himself with kid's parties. Busy at the sink. I love this one of him. And Jamie on a run. She is so fit! I am so proud of her. Fantastic kiddos!!

I was looking for a case for my Nook HD. I don't care for the ones Barnes and Noble offers. Timbuk2's site said this case would fit the HD. It is very snug and covers the edges so it's difficult to touch the sides of the screen. I had to put in upside down to make it useful. However, I have to remove it from the case to charge it this way. I love Timbuk2, but I must say this was a disappointment. But it is better than the other case I had from B&N.

I love the way it fits in my bags and the Velcro closures that none of the B&N cases have. And the fact it can be removed from the outer case and stand. Awesome features!! It's a tad difficult to wiggle out of the inner sleeve but not impossible.
