Seeing Mom enjoy a day out.

Seeing the little girl excitement of a friend in a kayak

Driving down south to see the beautiful blooming flowers and trees in an old forgotten Southern town

My neighbor bringing homemade cookies in exchange for eggs

My client's dog...

He forgets me in the 2 weeks between visits..

He is a HUGE white shepherd...looks like a great Pyrenees...but I found him hiding in my mama's room.

By the end of my 4 hour visit and several treats later, he remembered he liked me and even played a little.

He's just such a gentle giant.. <3

Finding out Melissa Etheridge will be at St. Louis VP fair this summer... woo hoo.. a free Melissa concert!!

Knowing that she enjoyed our date last night.

A card I received in the mail. :)

Receiving the first level of certainty I've had in a long while..

Time to put down some solid roots and get around to living my life... :)

I've been considering losing the beard I've been growing for two months. I've let it grow out sloppily before, or been lazy about shaving - but this time I sort of did it on purpose. I was thinking about getting rid of it, but today two people said almost the same thing, "it's trendy to have a beard now, but most people can't pull it off - your beard looks great on you" - hah!

I can wrap up in a regular sized towel now...rather than one of those "bath" towel type things...

Cleaning for a living has been good for me...as is Asheville itself...

I love my little nest in the hills <3

how cool it is outside. I love when the air is cool, and crisp, with a slight damp in the air. my favorite mornings :)

More good news by phone today. Things are moving along much better than expected.

Good Friends and family

Walking by two elders in wheelchairs and hearing a snippet of their conversation, "you know, you just can't find a good hairnet anymore - even at one of the good drugstores ..."

I was told that I was worth learning how to bake bread for. ( ungrammatical, granted, but you try writing that )
