Too many things to count over just the last few days. But a couple of highlights:
Driving north with Rachel to spend Father's Day with my family. We pulled over at the last rest stop before reaching Higgins Lake, which is nicely set amongst some tall pines, the aroma of which says "home" to me. As I stood there breathing it all in, a little girl in a pretty dress and her even smaller brother ran from the parking lot into the trees, she taking a winding course around and back with him following every step as fast as his little legs could take him.
A photo reproduced from our family slide sets of me and my dad circa 1973, when I was about 3. We're sitting in the mountain snows of colorado, wearing t-shirts in the bright sun, smiling at the camera like everything's right with the world. And so it was.
My 87-year old grandma saying, "that Rush Limbaugh, he's a trouble maker!"
All the appreciation and energy we got back from our audiences this past week.
