Foggy Morning

It's a foggy morning on our Fall City hill, and I like the way it seems to blanket our house, cozy and quiet. Soon I will head out to spend the day downtown with Heidi (and co.): first, a trip back to the bakery for the first time since my last day of work; second, lunch with Jana (including an introduction to Jonas!). I look forward to going back and seeing many familiar and dear faces again.

Yesterday was cooking and quilting day; the weekend holds music practice and a wedding; then Sunday is a travel day. Since the beginning of April, I've visited Thetis Island, Balingen/Germany, and Stehekin; next on the agenda is Waco, TX where Mom and I will visit with Jeff and Melissa and help them move into their new apartment. I love the richness and the freedom of this little season of my life. The amazing fellowship both at home and on each of my trips fills me up with inspiration and encouragement and joy; there is ample opportunity for creativity of many varieties; I have been running regularly (with Mom, which is very companionable) for the first time in ages; I have tasks enough to keep me productive, and free time enough to let me be spontaneous. I am enjoying every moment here and also looking forward to my next adventure:

Being a nanny in Germany for six months. I love little children, and Germany is becoming more and more familiar and beloved. It's definitely a job and a family God has led me to, and I am eager to meet them and enter into life in that home.
