Picture 1: My Dad packing

3: My Momma
So we're off to the airport in about two hours. Jill and her bf Al went back to Madison this morning. As Jill would say, our mom is a sad panda. I don't think I'm a bad daughter, but it certainly doesn't seem like a good daughter would abandon her mother and steal away her Dad for two months! She'll be so happy when we "return of our own volition." Keep her company if you're near her.
In other news, both Jill and Mitra got Teach for America. I'm happy and proud that they earned this opportunity, but I'm not completely convinced this is the right challenge for Jill. I 100% believe she is up to the challenge, but I think her strengths and passions are elsewhere. Should she chose to do it, she'll be in Atlanta.
Yesterday Dale sent me flowers. (Yesterday was HIS birthday.) My Mom, Jill and I had just finished fleurishing (it's what we Klosterwomen do) when the delivery man arrived at our door. The flowers are beautiful. So romantic, so thoughtful.
We've all been saying many prayers for discernment and safety.
Time for one more lunch.
