Here's why

my computer sat quietly on my desk all week and I know very little about what's going on in the world

If you ask what kept me from posting last week or keeping up on world events, I have receipts. A Monday morning conversation with Lucia was my priority. We had much to share and only a few days together.

Later that day, Amy made delicious homemade tortillas to go with my Spanish Chicken entree. As she kneaded and stretched the dough, Lucia and I once again spent time together at the kitchen table, the very table I fed my kids on when they were young.

Jordan arrived on Tuesday morning, the only day we were all together, as they were traveling down to the Bay Area to attend a service for their grandmother. Although brief, we made the most of our time together.

It was a week of comings and goings all too quickly, but I am ever grateful for the time we spent together.

And speaking of comings, Sammie and Scott’s little one, Milo Peter, surprised us by arriving a few weeks early. Saturday morning after dropping Jordan at the airport to return home, Rick and I continued driving down to LA to welcome our newest blessing. I will share photos once I have permission.

We arrived home last evening. I’m getting ready for a colonoscopy tomorrow morning. And we are scheduled to head down to the Bay Area this weekend for a birthday party. It’s a good bet you won’t hear from me again until next Monday, but I sure should have tons to talk about.
