this place

this week:

~ thinking of a dear friend that passed away, too soon.
~  the tides have been high, sometimes, you have to (carefully!) climb over the rocks to get back home
~ i like low tides, they are the best for finding treasures
~ i like having alone time for meditation
~ owen. he does not meditate, but likes to get into things instead. i like when he doesn't get into things.
~ my eldest son played in a six man volleyball tournament this week. i love when he sends me photos, thank you son!  (sorry i don't know who to credit for the photo!)
~ i love this new yarn, a gift from a friend. she needed help on a scarf she was making with this lace weight yarn from rowan. she gave me a ball too, for helping! thank you melissa! the scarf is turning into a very fun knit, and so pretty too with the color changes. i like the gold and lavender, though inside there is a lot more blue. this yarn is so fine it's like knitting with spider webs, imagining that since i never would touch a spider web.
~ my sister sent this text a few days ago: our alaska cruise is in two weeks four days ten hours twenty five minutes and twenty six seconds! counting down now  :)
