And had a nice, quiet afternoon. Beforehand, took the major portion of my brood to church, and as always, church was wonderful. In my whole life, I've never felt so part of a service or congregation as I do now. Maybe when I was a child in the Methodist church my parents help found. Not sure. And I don't even know everyone yet, but have been made to feel so comfortable. There's something to recommend with a small congregation. There's a closeness and a family atmosphere that's very appealing. And like I've said----it's so very Mitford-like. Who could resist?
After church, went to the library for a bit with oldest daughter. Just an hour of time with her, which was a treat. I have to make plans with one child at a time, sometimes, so they don't get swallowed up in sharing each other and me. It's easy to get lost in a large family. I didn't come from one, but now, I totally understand the hazards.
Now a restful evening spins out ahead of me. Not sure what we'll do, but doesn't really matter. Just home stuff.
