WE'RE HAVING A BIRTHDAY PARTY

May your coming year be filled
with magic and dreams and good
madness.  I hope you read some
fine books and kiss someone who
thinks you're wonderful, and don't
forget to make some art-write or
draw or build or sing or live as only
you can.
And I hope, somewhere in the next
year, you surprise yourself.

~ Neil Gaiman

 This week has been hot and humid,
rain coming down sideways.
The power going out every....single...
day...making me have to reset all
the clocks in the house...every....single...
day.

Knitting, but then there is always
knitting and this week even a little
embroidery too.

Getting to bottle my
lacto fermented blueberry soda
after getting my second ginger bug
to live, the first one never did bubble.
It actually taste pretty good.

Preparing my home and yard for a
party. My baby [and yes, he will always
be my baby] is turning 17 tomorrow. I'm
really not sure what to think of that since
in my head I am 17! This is my child who
never causes me any worry, who would
rather read than do anything else, who
always has a kind word and an offer of a
helping hand. A young man who always
makes me smile.  I am humbled and
honored to be his mama.
I love you Alex.

Enjoy the weekend my dear friends, I plan
to.

Love,
Tracey
