This Evening

You know, it was nice not having a vehicle at my disposal today ... Being "stuck" at the house allowed me the time and energy to accomplish all sorts of things. I cleaned the office and the guest room, which may not sound like much, but Abby would understand. Half the reason I am posting before and after pictures is just so she can see the finished job.




After taking the garbage out and dusting myself off, I wandered outside to spend some time with the toddlers while they were finishing supper and brushing their teeth. Spending more time with them has allowed them to get more comfortable with me, with even little Rosa talking to me on occassion.

Before settling in for the night, I enjoyed a nice supper of macaroni and cheese, although it is far more fun and interesting to cook for someone other than yourself. Then, I had my hair styled by two of the young girls, Rosa and Claudine (seen brushing their teeth in the pictures), got a great handful of kisses and then wandered upstairs.

As random and uneventful as it sounds, it really was a delightful day. Sometimes the joys of life can be found in the simplest of things ...
