Obsession of the week.

Dinner on the North Dock.

Watching the sun go down over Lake Champlain.

This was one of the five birthday cards Grace made for me.  The other cards were an assortment: one had hand-drawn cartoons, one a list of states we’ve been too and the occasion for each, one had photographs attached, and one was a Mad Lib.

This was my favorite.  These are only the top 5 of a list that was longer than that.  I love them.  You probably can’t see #5, but it is “Being so much fun” – which makes me happy because I worry, often, that I am no fun at all.  Emotional, weepy, and over-sensitive?  Yes.  Fun?  Not so much.  It’s good to see that at least some of the time my daughter thinks I’m fun.  I love everything about this card and will cherish it forever.  I work and I spend a lot of time with Grace and Whit.  I don’t do a lot else, but the truth is nothing matters as much as those two things.  At least right now.  And I’m grateful that my daughter, who I know is watching closely, appreciates both.
