Flu update

Maddie is back to her old self today. Her day yesterday was pretty yucky, but she is in good spirits today. She is home from school with us for the day, only because I didn't want her to go back to school weak and tired. Marky is going to bring home Maddie's homework for her. Meredith and Michael were both very attentive to Maddie yesterday. I love watching them care for each other. The other great news is that so far, nobody else is showing any signs of feeling sick. Something to be SO grateful for!!

thankful

Have you ever thanked God for a piece of clothing? In the grand scheme of life and in light of many other eternal things, I realize how insignificant this jacket is... BUT for temporary enjoyment, deep down textile satisfaction, and superficial pleasure, it is DIVINE! The buttons are spectacular and the lining is POLKA - DOT!! The corduroy is as soft as VELVET. The color blue is so perfect - almost has a periwinkle tinge to it. It fits like a glove! I can't WAIT to wear it, and I am SO thankful for it!! Thank YOU for allowing ME to be SO happy about it!!
