This is what was on our kitchen table this morning:
- A plant, still sitting in the Christmas pot I decided to use a year and a half ago, “just until I found a different container.”
- License plates for a new car
- Ballots for Richard and Daniel, and a new adult driver license for Daniel
- A trophy for Mark, signifying three years of great concerto performances
- A note from Jordan High, telling Tim he has been selected as the Instrumental Music Sterling Scholar
- A packet of information about graduation
- A college flier
- A laptop
- A tray left over from the meal we took to Richard as he recovered from his scuba trip
- Various place mats in disarray
- Mark’s James Herriot book
- A recipe and containers for a pasta salad I am making for a funeral this weekend
I am having a couple of rough days with my health, so I just picked up a few things to put away today. The table is large and can hold all the magnificent evidence of our lives. It’s unlike me to glory in the mess, but I kind of like this one. It shows that we are moving forward.
