Living to Learn

Surprise visits can be so much fun! Aunt Robin, whom has not visited us since we moved here 7 years ago, called and said she was coming for 16 days. With 2 days notice, we did not even have time to worry about cleaning up the house. She arrived and we have enjoyed getting reacquainted with her. We have broken bread, prayed, danced, SHOPPED, walked, hiked, explored, shoveled, napped, laughed, cried, and had lots of coffee. I can’t believe our time is coming to an end. At first, I worried about 16 days. My grandma always said house guests are like fish, they both start stinking after 3 days. But, not this time. It has been more like a big box of chocolate. Having a few pieces every day, and being sad when you realize there is nothing but those brown wrappers left. We even had some blue sky today. Life is full of surprises.
