It refreshes you and fulfills you...but it also, for some reason exhausts you a bit. It feels great to have some down time to yourself after all of it.<br />It is like your soul is filled and needs time to sink into the rest of us.The Retired Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02466803019073952351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3332172694810833250.post-71982289987063592852009-08-02T18:25:48.235-06:002009-08-02T18:25:48.235-06:00Glad you had a chance to "catch up on your re...Glad you had a chance to "catch up on your rest"! I'm doing that a little bit this afternoon. Two of our grandchildren were here, I worked serving at the food tent at our Harlan Days event Saturday afternoon, and I had to substitute leading the worship team in church this morning. It's been busy. Now I'm blogging and reading, too!Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08740950362293427086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3332172694810833250.post-75877817984670645542009-08-02T13:29:50.246-06:002009-08-02T13:29:50.246-06:00Hi Barb, your day sounds heavenly.

Last night temps reached the low 30's again, so I'm trying to enjoy the garden's color, texture, and shape while it lasts! My husband is off biking with a friend. There's a message on my machine from little Amanda(6), so I'll call and chat with her soon. <br />The sun is shining, the breeze is blowing and the sky is blue. Maybe I'll sit on the back deck awhile and read the Sunday NYTimes. Solitude is precious and renewing.<br />Glad your tooth is not hurting anymore.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04984171407726520584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3332172694810833250.post-63092715294442516312009-08-02T12:24:05.477-06:002009-08-02T12:24:05.477-06:00Hi Stillness, its you I salute my friend, for one ...Hi Stillness, its you I salute my friend, for one so young you are very wise.

I know you said you are going to the dentist on Tuesday to begin a root canal. <br />When I found a new dentist a few years back I brought in a picture of myself when i was THREE!!! Yes, three years old. I was a cutie in the picture too, long braids, rosy cheeks, bright blue eyes. adorable. :-) I told the dentist that the cute little girl in the picture was the person whose teeth he was working on and not to see me the big adult but to only envision her, the little three year old!! The picture is on the front of my file, always!! How fun is that?? I am a real baby when it comes to dentists. <br />I thought you would appreciate this lil story.<br /><br />Love to you<br />Gail<br />peace.....Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11337675996256691215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3332172694810833250.post-15479993610564166582009-08-02T10:42:40.989-06:002009-08-02T10:42:40.989-06:00Hey Bernie,

The CN Tower was struck by lightening, and parts of the new Art Museum, came down on top of cars...there were huge trees snapped in half all over the city! The sky was black as night at 7 pm and lightning was coming strait down every few seconds, and it poured, hail the size of golf balls in some places. I was working at Taste of Edmonton when it happened and thought all the tents were going to blow away. It was an amazing sight, it gave me an adreneline rush! Glad you are back and it was good seeing you all tanned and happy. I saw you driving away in your Ford something...looks like a nice car, and it suited you. Lets get together soon.
