New Week Dots

• Spouseman's back after a week on the road.  He went to a reunion of gunship pilots who flew in Vietnam and to visit his mama in Selma.  There are these places he goes to which are so totally outside of our life together and my experience.  Marriage--what a concept...
• Light of My Life celebrated her 12th Birthday.  I get glimpses of the young woman she will soon be--she amazes and delights me.  Today, she was an acolyte and sat next to me; quiet, self-assured.  At one point she reached over and just took my hand and held it. 
• I go off to a conference at Lake Placid tomorrow--not something I'm thrilled to do but a requirement for my diocesan grant.  I'll be driving through some of the areas where there are a lot of wild fires here in Florida.  The weather is eerily hot and dry.  It should be hot and very humid.  In the past, hot, dry May's have been followed by active, very active hurricane seasons.  And hurricane season is less than 2 weeks away.
• I cannot believe that Huckabee made a joke about guns pointing at Obama.  I cannot believe there isn't more of an uproar.
• I broke down and paid a pretty penny to get a bunch peonies that now grace my bedroom.  I still miss Spring...

Oh Peonies, I saw them the other day and they were a beautiful sight.
You will have to remind me of your upcoming trip dates again.
LoML an acolyte! Exciting!

I was appalled by that "joke."
