This morning held one of those moments that - as a parent you understand - is so precious in its normal-ness that you don't mess with it, no matter what you had on your agenda for the day, you just go with it. I got up, made coffee, sat down with my paper and began to read. Slowly all of my children (ages 25, 14 and 12) gravitated towards me and sat down to 'chat'. It started with the question from my oldest," So who gets stuck with Mom when she's old?" My middle answers," Well, I'll be in Colorado.....". I tell them all, "No problem, I can come to you'. Roll of the eyes from miss middle, smile from the youngest; the oldest laughs. Then we talk...... about nothing. About everything. About them, me, us. Precious normal-ness - I'll take it while I can get it.
Thats it.
Back to clay tomorrow.
Too cute!! WEll, you know you will welcome at my house... you might want to pick a different 2 months than I'll be getting my parents (12 months divided by 6 kids:^) LOL. Problem is, I'll be old then too!:^) SO if you bring your Kiln I'm sure Charlotte will take you! Too much... she thought the pool was cool, but she thinks the idea of your studio is even better! Now that we are back from gallavanting about the West, we may just pop in again!!-- Paula
