Makin' me happy today...

This sweet flower - handmade by Ethan the other night while I was away teaching a class... it was hanging on the back door when I came in... so sweet.

German short ribs in the crock pot for dinner tonight. SO yummy.

    Cathy,
    How loved you are! I know your heart is hurting, but wow, how big your heart grew thru the experience. I've enjoyed reading about your journey.
