Playing...

I have a friend from high school that calls me once or twice a year and one of the questions they always ask me is, " what have you done for fun ". Well if they called today I would tell them I've been playing in my kitchen all weekend.  On Saturday I made GF/DF banana bread, homemade apple pie, fresh pesto from my garden, granola cereal, GF/DF choc. chip, and my own laundry detergent. Sunday I strained out all my herbal oils and tinctures that a dear friend and I are working together on. Somewhere in there I made our usual "biscuits for breakfast" for Saturday and "syrupy something for Sunday breakfast and a couple of dinners. Whew!!!

Oh - but it was fun!

Death in the present moment...

A dear friend passed away yesterday. He had been sick for quite awhile but that never makes the passing easier. My first thought was "oh I wish I would have..." but then I thought about all the times I'd been there for him, the time he and is wife opened their home for my son and I to live and the really nice lunch we had together not long ago. That is how I want to remember his presences in my life. I want to celebrate the good and find comfort in the moments that he circled planet earth.

You will me missed - Doug Boone.. thanks for lunch : )
