And I must say I feel good, physically
and mentally refreshed, to have had this day with babies after weeks of seeing
and talking to people in the office, in the house of hospitality, at the
retreat house, writing, answering letters, going to meetings. It is living, not
just talking about it. Dorothy Day
None of my three sisters were lucky enough to be powered residents of 20171. Diane and Kathleen retreated to the bright lights of big city Herndon. (If you’ve been to Gainesville & Lovettsville, you’ll agree that’s not an exaggeration.) So our dramatic goodbyes after Saturday’s birthday celebration proved premature. But there’s something special about spontaneous family gatherings- no food to prepare, no gifts to purchase, no expectations, no fuss. Just hanging out, playing with the kids, enjoying the bright-side of a power failure. Lauren, you were missed!
So cute!
